Koninginneweg 185-21075 CP AmsterdamValeriusbuurt-West

Charming and spacious apartment in a beautiful location in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid. Situated on the second floor of an elegant period building, the apartment features exceptionally high ceilings of over 3.3 metres and a wealth of original details, including sliding en-suite doors, ornate plasterwork and natural-stone fireplaces. At the rear is a wonderfully deep and sunny south-facing terrace, offering peace, privacy and views across the green inner gardens. The traditional layout and impressive ceiling height create a particularly inviting atmosphere. The living room at the front and the dining room at the quiet rear form one generous living space, while the sliding en-suite doors allow the rooms to be separated when desired. This creates ample space for long dinners, entertaining guests or simply retreating to a quieter corner of the home. LAYOUT Entrance to the apartment on the second floor. The hallway opens into the attractive en-suite living rooms. At the front is the bright and spacious sitting room, featuring a beautifully ornate high ceiling and a natural-stone fireplace. The classic mirror positioned between the tall windows enhances the abundant natural light. French doors open onto a traditional balcony with a lively and characteristic view over Koninginneweg. The built-in en-suite cupboards provide generous storage, extending across the full width of the room above the sliding doors. The rear room serves as a spacious dining room and also features a high, beautifully ornamented ceiling. French doors lead to the deep, sunny south-facing terrace: a peaceful and sheltered outdoor space overlooking the green inner gardens of Amsterdam Oud-Zuid. The bright, semi-open contemporary kitchen connects directly to the dining room and is equipped with various built-in appliances and a Quooker. Full-height cabinetry provides ample storage. The kitchen is also wide enough to accommodate an additional large cupboard, as currently arranged, or alternatively a desk or breakfast bar. The compact bedroom is situated at the front and includes a deep built-in wardrobe, as well as the same impressive ceiling height found throughout the apartment. The wardrobe continues into the adjoining hallway, providing further storage and space for the washing machine. The modern and efficiently arranged bathroom features a walk-in shower, washbasin and toilet. Thanks to its generous floor area and current en suite layout, the apartment offers the potential to create a second bedroom in the future. The owners’ association (VvE) is active and has a long term maintenance plan (MJOP) in place. The monthly service charges are €120. All major maintenance has recently been completed, including the replacement and insulation of the roof, the replacement of the soil stacks and the painting of the rear façade. The front façade will be painted shortly at the expense of the current members of the VvE, including the sellers. Consequently, no major maintenance is expected in the coming years. LOCATION The location is hard to beat. The apartment is within walking distance of everything that makes Amsterdam Oud Zuid so appealing, including the shops and restaurants of Cornelis Schuytstraat, the Saturday Zuidermarkt, Vondelpark and Museumplein. The canal district and city centre are also easily accessible on foot or by bicycle. Public transport connections are excellent, with several nearby tram routes providing easy access to the city centre and Amsterdam Central Station. Amsterdam Zuid Station and the main roads out of the city can also be reached quickly KEY FEATURES * Freehold property * 76 sq. m. * Beautiful original period features * Excellent location in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid * Financially sound and active owners’ association * Ready for immediate occupation
