Very bright move-in ready living on freehold land in the heart of Amsterdam – featuring an unobstructed view, high-quality finishes, and a delightful balcony! A quiet street, a building full of character, and the vibrant city center literally just around the corner. Welcome to Fokke Simonszstraat 48 A! Located on the second floor of this charming and exceptionally well-maintained apartment complex, you will find this surprisingly bright and stylish two-room apartment, spanning 42 m². The space has been optimized and features beautiful oak flooring, a luxurious open-plan kitchen with a kitchen island, modern finishes, and a lovely balcony. And then there’s the view! Unlike many homes in Amsterdam’s city center that look directly onto other buildings, this apartment offers a wonderful, unobstructed view over greenery and the street. It is a unique spot: you are close to the lively city, yet the moment you arrive home, you experience the tranquility of a small-scale, characterful residential street. The property has been almost entirely renovated, recently painted, and is ready for a new resident. Furthermore, it is situated on freehold land, holds an energy label C, and is part of a professionally managed Owners' Association (VvE). This is an ideal apartment for those who love the Amsterdam urban lifestyle but also value comfort, quality, and peace at home. Layout Second floor Upon arrival, the unique atmosphere of the building is immediately apparent. The distinctive facade, the charming gallery, and the well-kept appearance give the building a character all its own. You reach the entrance of the apartment via the gallery. Once inside, you are welcomed by stylish finishes and a pleasant, light-filled interior. The beautiful oak flooring runs almost seamlessly throughout the entire apartment, creating a calm and warm foundation when combined with the smooth, plastered walls. Living room and kitchen The living room is undoubtedly the heart of the home. Large windows and an open connection to the kitchen create a delightful, light-filled living space. The positioning is particularly pleasant: from the seating area, you enjoy an unobstructed view of the street and the greenery of the public park. Such a sense of space and openness is certainly not a given in such a central location in Amsterdam! There is ample room for a comfortable lounge area and an inviting dining space. The open-plan kitchen integrates seamlessly, lending the apartment a contemporary, luxurious feel. The kitchen is finished in stylish white, featuring sleek cabinetry, an elegant composite countertop, and a kitchen island—a practical addition that also serves as a sociable focal point between the cooking and living areas. Designed with great care, the kitchen is equipped with various high-end built-in appliances. Everything has its own designated place, ensuring a wonderfully calm and tidy living environment. Bedroom and balcony The bedroom is located on the opposite side of the apartment. Measuring approximately 3.28 x 2.88 meters, the space is practical to lay out; There is ample space for a double bed, and the convenient built-in wardrobe—featuring a stylish sliding door—provides neat storage for your clothing and personal belongings. From the bedroom, you have access to a balcony of approximately 2.3 m². It is an inviting outdoor space—perfect for enjoying a morning cup of coffee or relaxing outside after a busy day. Bathroom and storage space The bathroom is well-maintained and practically laid out, equipped with a spacious walk-in shower, a vanity unit, and a wall-mounted toilet. The distinctive terrazzo (granito) floor adds an authentic Amsterdam touch, creating a beautiful contrast with the modern finishes. A major advantage is the surprisingly practical indoor storage space, where you can easily tuck away suitcases, household items, and other belongings, keeping them out of sight. In a compact city apartment, such extra storage is exceptionally valuable. Sustainability and comfort Beyond its aesthetic appeal, the apartment offers a high level of living comfort. The property has an energy label of C, is fully double-glazed, and is equipped with a modern central heating boiler (installed in 2024). The apartment has recently undergone a thorough renovation; it features neat finishes and has been almost entirely repainted.

The Owners' Association (VvE) is professionally managed, maintains a financial reserve, and follows a multi-year maintenance plan. The Owners' Association (VvE) is well-organized, and the monthly service charges are €196.
