Description
This charming single-floor family home with a total floor area of over ..m² (NEN2580 measurement standards) and a spacious west-facing balcony of approx. ..m2 is in a prime location in Amsterdam-Zuid.
LAYOUT
Second floor: The communal stairwell brings you to the apartment on the second floor. Inside, the hallway offers access to all the other rooms. The generously sized dual-aspect living room is bathed in natural light and still has the original “en-suite” doors to separate the seating area from the kitchen-diner. The west-facing balcony at the back of the house can be accessed via double doors and a separate door in the kitchen. The kitchen comes with a range of appliances – such as a 5-burner gas cooker with a hood, a dishwasher, a combi-oven, a microwave, and a large fridge with a separate freezer – and offers lots of storage space. The master bedroom is at the back of the house and also has access to the balcony. The other two good-sized bedrooms are at the front of the house. The bathroom features a bath, a shower, a double washbasin, and white goods connections. The toilet is separate and includes a washstand.
LOCATION
The Rubensstraat is centrally located in Amsterdam-Zuid, around the corner of the Olympiaplein. The Olympiaplein and the nearby Beethovenstraat and Cornelis Schuytstraat are great for getting your groceries at the many supermarkets and (specialty) shops, such as cheese shop L’Amuse and French bakery Le Fournil, famous for its delicious croissants. Cafés and restaurants you can find here include Coffee Company, Joe & the Juice, Ferilli’s, and Brasserie Margaux. Weekly markets are held on the Minervaplein (on Fridays) and Stadionplein (on Saturdays).
Amsterdam-Zuid is also home to many great terraces, cafés, lunchrooms, and restaurants. The area is also not short of good (international) primary and secondary schools, such as the British School, Hervormd Lyceum Zuid, Montessori schools, etc. For relaxation and outdoor activities, you will find the Vondelpark, Beatrixpark, Amstelpark, and even the Amsterdam Forest within easy walking or cycling distance.
Public transport connections are excellent and include Station Amsterdam Zuid/WTC where you can get metro lines, trains (including a direct line to Schiphol Airport), and buses in all directions. The metro from Station Zuid takes less than 10 minutes to reach Amsterdam Central Station, where you can get more buses, trains, trams, and metro lines, as well as the free ferry across the IJ. The area offers ample on-street parking and there is no waiting list for parking permits (two permits per address).
