Leeuwerikstraat 1-B1021 GG AmsterdamVogelbuurt-Zuid

A DOUBLE-UPPER (CORNER) APARTMENT offering a bright, spacious living room with open, green views, set in a listed historic building with a leasehold perpetually bought out. In 2025, the building underwent sustainability improvements. All window frames were replaced with clip-in frames, and additional insulation was installed. The building was also restored to Berlage’s original design. Amsterdam Noord combines a child-friendly village-meets-city atmosphere with a strong sense of community, where neighbours look out for one another and people of all ages live side by side. In recent years, many young families have moved into the Vogelbuurt neighbourhood, where a small playground in the centre serves as a meeting place. More recently, a bakery and a bookshop have also opened on the square. LAYOUT Ground floor: The private front door is accessed via the shared front garden, with a staircase leading to the first floor. First floor: Landing with access to all rooms and a modern cloakroom fitted with a wall-hung toilet and small washbasin. The living room adjoins the side wall of the building, making it particularly bright, with windows on several sides and delightful open views towards the park opposite. A doorway leads through to the side room, which is currently open to the living room but can easily be converted into a separate, enclosed room. The modern kitchen (2016) features a light colour scheme and is equipped with a five-burner hob with extractor, combination microwave oven, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. The appliances are by Bosch. The private, open rooftop terrace, facing south-west, can be accessed from both the living room and the kitchen. Second floor: Landing with access to the two wonderfully quiet bedrooms. The modern bathroom (2016), finished in white and anthracite, is fitted with a walk-in shower and vanity unit with washbasin. This floor also includes a storage room housing the central heating boiler, with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. Throughout, the property is neatly finished with wooden floors and smooth walls. LOCATION AND ACCESSIBILITY The property enjoys a wonderfully central location in the child-friendly Vogelbuurt neighbourhood, close to several major roads, including the A10 ring road and the IJ Tunnel, and within walking distance of the metro on the North/South line, which takes you to Central Station in just 2 minutes.
