Unique downstairs apartment with a sunny garden, right on the river Amstel!
This spectacular property of just shy of 150 m2 offers modern-day comfort combined with charming original elements. The garden of nearly 200 m2 is really big to Amsterdam standards and lets you enjoy the sun all day. The apartment is part of a character building (municipally listed), designed by the famous architect Berlage in the typical Amsterdamse School style. The high ceilings, original panelled doors with stained-glass panes, and the exposed brick wall ensure that this modern house oozes charm. The generously sized living room runs from the front to the back of the house, making it wonderfully light and private, and offers unobstructed views of the Amstel and the back garden. On top of that, the house offers 4 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, so what more do you need?!

The house is located where the bustling De Pijp area meets the more residential Rivierenbuurt, giving you the best of both worlds – tranquil and spacious living with a huge range of shops, cafés and restaurants, and other facilities like good schools and child daycare centres all nearby. Shops and supermarkets can be found along the nearby Van Woustraat and Rijnstraat and even the famous Albert Cuyp Market is within walking distance. Around the corner is a large playground and the Martin Luther Kingpark (known for the De Parade Festival), public swimming pool De Mirandabad, the Sarphatipark, and Amstelpark are just a short walk or bike trip, making this a very child-friendly neighbourhood. During summer, the Amstel is a lively waterway with many waterfront terraces, and you can even moor a boat right around the corner. The bustling De Pijp area and the city centre are a few minutes’ cycling.

Public transport connections are excellent with several tram and bus stops around the corner and railway and metro station Amsterdam Amstel just a stone’s throw away, offering direct links to the Zuidas business district and Schiphol Airport. The A2, A4 and A10 motorways are a few minutes by car. Another big plus is finding ample parking space on your doorstep as this part of the city has a relatively low residential density. The current estimated waiting list for a parking permit is just 1 month.

LAYOUT GROUND FLOOR
The private front door from the street (and the broad pavement) lets you straight into the apartment.
The first striking features are the high ceilings and original tiling in the vestibule. The spacious hallway offers access to all the other rooms. Double glass-paned doors lead to the wonderfully spacious dual-aspect living room. The seating area at the front lets you take in the marvellous views of the Amstel from the comfort of your sofa and the wood-burning stove (which can be included in the price) creates a cosy atmosphere. The modern kitchen at the back of this space has a concrete worktop and various built-in appliances, including a 6-burner gas cooker with an oven, a hood, and a dishwasher. The kitchen-diner is also big enough for a large dining table for spending long evenings with family and friends and offers great views of the stunning back garden. French doors open to the adjacent terrace and the beautifully landscaped, deep garden of nearly 200 m2. As the garden faces southwest, and thanks to the relatively low surrounding houses, the sun enters the garden from 10:00 a.m. to around 7:00 p.m. The ever-green trees and shrubs offer ample tranquillity and privacy. The garden also includes a practical summer house and a large sunken trampoline. The buyer may choose to increase the floor area by 24 m2, for which the vendor has obtained the required (non-transferrable) municipal permit and the approval of the Homeowners’ Association (VvE).

Back in the hallway, doors lead to the separate toilet with a washstand, the first bedroom with two original built-in wardrobes, and the bathroom with a shower and a washbasin. The second good-sized bedroom is at the back of the house and has access to the garden. Adjacent is the en-suite master bedroom, also with double doors to the garden. The master bathroom features a bath, a washbasin unit, a walk-in shower, and a second lavatory. The central heating unit is tucked away in a cupboard. A staircase goes down to the basement with ample head height. Here, you find a practical laundry room and plenty of storage space. The fourth spacious bedroom/study is downstairs as well and has a window letting in natural light.
The entire apartment has smoothly plastered and painted walls and ceilings and is finished with oak parquet flooring.
