Ptolemaeusstraat 11-21098 GV AmsterdamMiddenmeer-Noord

A charming and cheerful apartment, finished to a very high standard, with a floor surface area of about 75m² at an attractive location in the heart of the Watergraafsmeer district, just around the corner from Hogeweg. The apartment has recently undergone an extensive renovation programme which, in addition to the retention of the historic style features and detail, also involved making it much more sustainable. An example of the latter is the installation of a heat recovery system and of solar panels on the roof; also, all the window frames were replaced with new HR++ glass. All of this has resulted in an Energy Label A++! The apartment has a comfortable layout, with a living room, kitchen and dining area, two bedrooms of varying dimensions, a bathroom, and separate toilet. Because of its location on a corner, it welcomes in plenty of bright sunshine throughout the day. LAYOUT Well-maintained staircase, shared with one other apartment. Entry into the hall, from where all the rooms can be reached. The living room is in the corner section of the apartment, enjoying views of the local surroundings, but without loss of privacy. The kitchen can be reached both through the original dividing doors (with their stained-glass) and from the hall - this luxurious kitchen is one of the few where it would be a pleasure to spend all day. It comes with all mod cons, including a Quooker tap, a hob with a built-in extractor, a fridge, a freezer, and a dishwasher. The island with breakfast bar makes it complete. There is also enough space for a dining table for those convivial evenings with family and friends. The master bedroom is spacious and comes with an ensuite bathroom, with a walk-in shower, sink, and underfloor heating. Of particular note in the bedroom is the semi-circular bay window at the side, which also functions as an indoor balcony or snug - a lovely hidden corner for relaxing in the sun or even creating a work space. The current owners have planning permission from the local authority and the consent of the owners’ association to open the wall between the living room and the indoor balcony. The second bedroom is at the quiet rear of the property and is also of a useful size; the washing machine is fitted in this room. Finally, there is a separate toilet and sink and a handy storage unit on the staircase landing. LOCATION The apartment is located in quiet area amid plenty of greenery. Flevopark and Park Frankendael are both within walking distance, as are several playgrounds, a city farm, and sports facilities such as the Jaap Edenbaan (ice rink). There is also a range of primary and secondary schools nearby, making this part of the city very popular with families. The Watergraafsmeer district has everything you need, all within a short distance. It is home to an extensive range of retail options, including supermarkets, fresh-food shops, delicatessens, and specialist shops, on Middenweg, at the Oostpoort shopping centre, on Christiaan Huygensplein, and elsewhere. There are also plenty of local bars and restaurants, such as Harvey Amsterdam for an excellent cup of coffee, restaurant De Kas for culinary delights, and Olidò for a delicious pizza. The Science Park railway station is just a five-minute walk away, while the Amstel and Muiderpoort stations can be reached in ten minutes by bike. Travelling by car, you can be on the A10 Ring Road in a matter of minutes. Street parking is available with a permit.
