Sustainable and modern apartment of over 146m2, finished to a very high standard and with a roof terrace of a whopping 66m2 and private parking in the underground parking garage on the Billitonstraat and Zeeburgerdijk in Amsterdam-Oost. Energy label A+, meaning exceptionally low heating costs!

This elegant and beautifully finished apartment is part of De Oude Modeschool – a former school built in a typical period architectural style with amazingly high ceilings and gorgeous windows. The building dates back to 1914 and 1969 and has been completely redeveloped into a residential complex. The apartment scores very high on sustainability; it is not connected to the gas mains and has a heat recovery system combined with geothermal energy from its own source and underfloor heating and cooling with a multiple-zone smart thermostat. The former school building has a spacious layout and includes a communal courtyard and broad stairwells and galleries leading to the apartments. On top of that, the complex includes two fully furnished communal spaces of 70m2 and 12m2 plus a small workshop.

Everyone entering the living room will instantly understand what a unique apartment this truly is. The huge amount of natural light streaming in through the enormous windows and the 4.23-high ceilings make this space feel wonderfully open and light. The combination of the warm wooden flooring in the living area and the modern cast flooring in the open-plan kitchen create a delightful look and feel. But the main eye-catcher is the large, modern and fully equipped kitchen-diner, which includes a Liebherr fridge, a separate freezer, a Siemens oven and steam oven, a dishwasher, and a Quooker tap. The units are finished with a natural stone worktop.

The living room has access to the large, south-facing balcony overlooking the traffic-free part of the Billitonstraat. The master bedroom comes with an en-suite bathroom featuring a double shower, a bath, and a double washbasin. A staircase in the living room leads to the upstairs landing where you find the second and third bedrooms, the second bathroom, and a storeroom. A second staircase from the landing leads to the rooftop room, which is currently used as an office and can be ingeniously locked. Glass-paned sliding doors, as well as a door on the other side, give access to the massive roof terrace of 66m2 with an outdoor kitchen with running water and electricity.
