SURROUNDINGS AND ACCESSIBILITY Orteliusstraat 142 is located in the popular De Baarsjes area, a neighbourhood that has grown into one of the most sought after locations in Amsterdam West over the past few years. Orteliusstraat itself is a friendly, tree lined street with wide pavements and has even won awards multiple times as the cleanest street in De Baarsjes. Here you live perfectly balanced between lively city life and greenery. Just 100 metres away you will find Rembrandtpark and slightly further Erasmuspark, ideal for jogging, picnics or enjoying a coffee in the sun. Mercatorplein and Jan Evertsenstraat, with their shops, cafés, restaurants and public transport connections, are just around the corner. There are also plenty of great spots nearby for food and drinks, including Café Cook, Bar Baarsch, De Neef van Fred and Buurman & Buurman. For sports enthusiasts, Sportplaza Mercator with its swimming pool is located nearby as well. The accessibility is excellent too. By bike you can reach Oud West, the Jordaan, De Hallen or the city centre within minutes. Public transport is well organised with several tram and bus connections around the corner, while the Ring A10 motorway is quickly accessible by car. LAYOUT (see floorplans as well) Ground floor: Shared entrance and staircase. Second floor: Private entrance and hallway providing access to all rooms. Upon entering, you immediately notice the practical and pleasant layout of the apartment. At the front you will find the bright living room with a robust open plan kitchen in L shaped layout, equipped with a fridge freezer combination, extractor hood and gas stove. The living room stretches across the full width of the apartment, creating a spacious feeling. There is plenty of room for a comfortable seating area and a dining table where you can enjoy long dinners with friends and family. At the quiet rear side of the apartment you will find two well sized bedrooms. Both rooms offer direct access to the wide east facing balcony, a lovely place to start your day with a coffee in the morning sun. The main bedroom easily accommodates a large bed and wardrobe or workspace. The second room is flexible in use and can function perfectly as a home office, guest room, nursery or second bedroom. Another option would be to relocate the kitchen to this room, as all plumbing and connections were installed behind a partition wall during the renovation. In short, plenty of possibilities to adapt the apartment to your own living preferences. The centrally located bathroom features a walk in rain shower, designer radiator for warm towels and washing machine connection. The layout is practical and offers everything needed for daily comfort. In addition, there is a separate toilet with small sink in the hallway. SUSTAINABILITY The entire building was fully renovated several years ago. During this renovation, all façades, walls and floors were fully insulated and fitted with HR++ glazing. The technical installations were modernised as well, including plumbing, electrical wiring and a new fuse box. The apartment is therefore very well insulated and benefits from energy label A. This not only provides extra comfort, but also lower monthly costs. A good energy label may also increase borrowing capacity by up to €10,000 or result in lower mortgage interest rates. HOMEOWNERS ASSOCIATION The apartment is part of a small scale, healthy and active homeowners association consisting of three members. The association is self managed and has a long term maintenance plan in place. Monthly service costs amount to €109. LEASEHOLD The apartment is situated on freehold land, meaning there is no leasehold. CLAUSES The purchase agreement will include the following standard clauses: non owner occupied clause, age clause and asbestos clause.
