Description

LIGHT, CHARACTER, TWO BEDROOMS AND A SOUTH-FACING BALCONY Large windows, charming details and a sunny south-facing balcony. This apartment of approximately 52 sq m on Balistraat offers two bedrooms in a beautiful period building in Amsterdam’s popular Indische Buurt. Its decorative brickwork and attractive balconies immediately catch the eye. The building underwent extensive renovation in 2004, including foundation repairs. With an energy rating of B and lively Javastraat just around the corner, this is a lovely place to come home to in Amsterdam East. LAYOUT The communal staircase leads to the apartment entrance on the third floor. The hallway provides access to the various rooms. At the front, the living room overlooks Balistraat. Large windows let in plenty of natural light, while French doors open onto a Juliet balcony. With the doors open and views of the trees lining the street, this is a pleasant spot to relax. There is room for both a seating area and a dining table. The adjoining open-plan kitchen features light green cabinetry, a dark worktop and various built-in appliances. Both bedrooms are at the rear. The main bedroom has French doors opening onto the south-facing balcony, overlooking the gardens below: an ideal spot for a morning coffee in the sunshine. The second bedroom also works well as a home office, nursery or guest room. The bathroom features white wall tiles and a black-and-white tiled floor, and is fitted with a bath with an overhead shower, a washbasin and a toilet. A separate internal storage room accommodates the washing machine and dryer. This space can readily be converted into a bathroom, as all the necessary connections are already in place. There is also an additional washing machine connection in the boiler cupboard, offering flexibility to adapt the layout to your needs. CHARACTER AND COMFORT The attractive façade, decorative brickwork and balconies give the building its distinctive character. Inside, stained-glass detailing above one of the internal doors and the warm tones of the bamboo parquet flooring add to the atmosphere. The entire building was extensively renovated in 2004, including repairs to the foundations. External sun shading was installed on the south side in 2025. Together with the B energy rating, these are appealing features for anyone looking for a home in a traditional Amsterdam building.
