With two generous bedrooms, flexible space for working from home and excellent public transport connections, this is an appealing home for international buyers looking for an authentic Amsterdam lifestyle without compromising on comfort. An additional major advantage for international buyers: the property is situated on freehold land, meaning there is no ground lease (erfpacht).

The façade spans three full windows, allowing an abundance of natural light to enter while offering beautiful views over the Lijnbaansgracht from different angles.
