A TRULY PRIME LOCATION IN AMSTERDAM EAST! We are delighted to offer this spacious and bright one-bedroom apartment for sale in a truly prime location in Amsterdam East. The apartment is situated on the ground floor and offers approximately 79m² of living space. It features a bright, spacious and extended living room with an open-plan kitchen, a good-sized bedroom, a generous bathroom and a lovely northwest-facing garden. Best of all, the property is situated on freehold land, meaning there is no ground lease. Enjoy comfortable city living with the vibrant city centre right around the corner. Why not come and take a look? WORDS FROM THE CURRENT OWNERS: “When we viewed the property in 2004, we immediately fell in love with the open layout and the natural light coming in from both the front and rear. The skylight in the extension was the deciding factor. There is always daylight, and on a clear evening you can even look at the stars before going to bed. In summer, the garden effectively becomes an extra room, while the house remains pleasantly cool on hot days. We have always loved the location in the city. Whenever we cycle home from elsewhere in Amsterdam and cross the Amstel, we experience a wonderful sense of space. We have enjoyed countless walks along the Amstel, exercised in Oosterpark and had lots of fun at the Jaap Eden ice rink. With a tram stop right outside the door and two metro stations within walking distance, public transport connections are incredibly convenient and quick when travelling or when you simply don't feel like cycling. It is wonderful to have Beukenplein nearby, with its great coffee, bakeries, delicatessens and terraces. We have felt very much at home here, partly thanks to the good relationships we have built with our neighbours over the years. Some of them have become lifelong friends, even though they no longer live here. After years of dreaming about life outside the city, it was a difficult decision to actually take that step. We will certainly miss the convenience of this wonderful city location and its social and cultural life, but we are also looking forward to starting a new chapter.” LAYOUT: You enter the property through your own private front door. From the entrance, you walk into the hallway, where the current owners have created a cloakroom area. The hallway also provides access to a useful under-stairs storage cupboard, ideal for storing additional belongings. Continuing through the hallway, you enter the spacious open-plan living room. What a wonderful space in which to relax and unwind. Thanks to the windows at the front and the French doors at the rear, the apartment benefits from an abundance of natural daylight. Towards the rear of the property, on the right-hand side, you will find a second hallway. From here, you have access to the bedroom, bathroom and separate toilet. The separate toilet features a wall-hung design, is fully tiled and has a small washbasin. The adjoining bathroom is generously sized and includes a bathtub with a thermostatic mixer tap, a washbasin with mixer tap and mirror, as well as connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The bathroom is fully tiled and also benefits from underfloor heating, no more cold feet! Back in the hallway, you have access to the bedroom. The bedroom is a good size and has a door providing access to the rear extension of the property. Returning to the living room and kitchen, the open-plan kitchen is located at the rear of the apartment. It is equipped with a four-burner gas hob with oven and stainless-steel extractor hood (the current owners have placed an electric hob on top of the existing gas hob), a double sink with mixer tap and a range of wall and base cabinets providing ample storage space. There is also a built-in cupboard next to the kitchen, which would be ideal for use as a pantry. From the kitchen, you continue into the property's extension, which was added around 2000. The large skylight installed in the extension fills the space with an abundance of natural light. Currently used as a dining room, the extension could of course also be used as, for example, a garden room. The central heating boiler is also located here. From the extension, French doors provide direct access to the lovely rear garden. OUTDOOR SPACE: Naturally, the outdoor space is another great feature of this property. The apartment has a lovely rear garden facing northwest, allowing you to enjoy plenty of sunshine throughout the day. The garden has been finished with wooden decking laid on wooden supports. It is a wonderful place to unwind and enjoy a drink or a bite to eat. GOOD TO KNOW: - Energy label A; - The bathroom features underfloor heating. PROPERTY OWNERSHIP: The property is situated on freehold land, meaning there is no ground lease (erfpacht).
