Fokke Simonszstraat 25-21017 TD AmsterdamWeteringbuurt

Quiet City Living in the Heart of Amsterdam Not every street in the city centre truly feels like home. This one does. No rolling suitcases passing beneath your window. No constant crowds at your doorstep. Instead, a street where neighbours still know each other and where the city feels close without always demanding your attention. A place where you come home to calm — right in the heart of Amsterdam. Located on the edge of the canal district, in one of the most desirable parts of the Weteringschans area, this intelligently designed one-bedroom apartment of approximately 41 m² is situated on freehold land. Compact in size, yet generous in living quality. A home that offers exactly what matters: light, comfort, efficiency, and a location that proves its value every single day. What immediately inspires confidence is the building’s solid structural foundation. The foundation was renewed in 2010 and the property was officially divided into apartment rights in 2011. In Amsterdam, these are not minor details but highly valuable advantages. In addition, the apartment is situated on freehold land — a rare and important benefit in the city centre. Together, these elements provide a strong foundation for comfortable living and long-term peace of mind. The building has also been carefully maintained over the years. The roof was fully renewed in 2023, including new bitumen roofing, zinc and lead work, gutters and roof windows. Exterior maintenance and painting were carried out in 2022, and a new Intergas central heating boiler was recently installed. The apartment is fully fitted with double glazing throughout. Key features: • Located on freehold land • Renewed foundation (2010) • Officially divided into apartment rights (2011) • Roof renewed in 2023 • Exterior maintenance completed in 2022 • Recently installed Intergas central heating boiler • Fully fitted with double glazing • Active owners’ association (VvE) with long-term maintenance plan • Quiet street in the heart of Amsterdam Layout Via the characteristic Amsterdam staircase, you reach the apartment on the second floor. Upon entering, the pleasant natural light immediately stands out. Thanks to the width of approximately 4.34 metres, the living area feels remarkably spacious and open. The open-plan kitchen connects seamlessly to the living space and is equipped with various built-in appliances. Compact and practical in design, fully aligned with the apartment’s efficient layout. Every square metre has been thoughtfully utilised. At the quiet rear side of the apartment is the bedroom: a comfortable space with enough room for a generous bed and wardrobe cabinets. Here, you sleep peacefully in the middle of the city. The bathroom is located in the extension and features a walk-in shower, washbasin and connections for both a washing machine and dryer. The separate toilet with washbasin is centrally located within the apartment. Compact living here does not mean compromising, but making a conscious choice: less maintenance, lower monthly costs and a home where every metre makes sense. Surroundings Located between the Vijzelgracht and Reguliersgracht canals, this is an area where Amsterdam effortlessly comes together. The Utrechtsestraat, De Pijp, Carré Theatre, Amstelveld and the Rijksmuseum are all within walking distance. From specialty coffee bars to wine bars, from local boutiques to concerts along the Amstel River — everything is close at hand, while the street itself remains calm and residential. Accessibility is excellent as well. With the North/South metro line just minutes away, Amsterdam Central Station, Station Zuid and the Zuidas business district are all quickly and comfortably accessible. A location perfectly suited to the rhythm of work, leisure and city living. The Weteringschans area attracts an international mix of young professionals, creatives and city lovers who consciously choose quality of life. Here, urban living and everyday comfort naturally go hand in hand. The street & history Fokke Simonszstraat originated in the 19th century after the Looierssloot canal was filled in to create space for the city’s expansion. What once began as a practical urban intervention gradually developed into a street with an almost hidden sense of tranquillity. That is precisely what makes this location so special. Right in the city centre, yet without the constant dynamics of tourist crowds. The historic façades, human scale and quiet streetscape create an atmosphere rarely found in central Amsterdam. Owners’ Association & details The Owners’ Association (VvE) is active, professionally organised by the owners themselves and supported by a long-term maintenance plan (MJOP). Monthly service charges amount to €150. Some homes convince with size. This one convinces with feeling. With light, tranquillity and a location that reminds you every day why living in Amsterdam can be so special. Disclaimer: This information has been compiled with the utmost care.
