Ten Katestraat 59-41053 BZ AmsterdamBellamybuurt-Zuid

On the top floor of a beautiful building from 1894, you'll find this turnkey apartment of approximately 44 m², with a large rooftop terrace of about 27 m²! With the Ten Katemarkt, the Foodhallen, and the Jordaan surrounding you, this is a prime location in Amsterdam West, commonly known as Oud-West. The apartment has the right vibe, plenty of comfort, and the property sits on OWN GROUND, so you don't have to pay ground lease. The Ten Katestraat in Amsterdam-West has a rich history. Originally, the area was home to the Kwakerspoel, a water pool that was later drained for city expansion. The street is named after Dutch preacher and poet Jan Jakob Lodewijk ten Kate, born in The Hague and for many years a resident of Amsterdam. Right outside the apartment, you'll find the Ten Katemarkt, one of the largest markets in Amsterdam, which operates six days a week. Just around the corner, you'll find the well-known Foodhallen, a popular indoor food market offering a wide range of culinary options. Famous names include The Butcher, Viet View, Shirkan, and Petit Gâteau, located in an old tram depot. Public transport, including trams and buses, and access to the A2, A4, and Ring A10 are all within a short distance. Layout: Ground floor and third floor: What a beautiful building this is, built in 1894. Through the shared entrance and staircase, you ascend to the third floor, where the front door leads to a private staircase to the fourth, top floor. Apartment: Through the skylight, which provides access to the rooftop terrace, a lot of light pours in. In the small hallway, as in almost the entire apartment, there is a beautiful laminate parquet floor. On the right, you'll find the spacious toilet with a sink and a storage room with space for a washing machine and a freezer. This is convenient, as it keeps these appliances out of the kitchen and bathroom. The recently updated central heating system (2024) is also here. What stands out is the loft-style layout, with the living room and kitchen at the front and the bedroom at the rear. Let's begin on the southwest side, where the living room and kitchen are. Plenty of light enters through the window in the dormer and two large skylights. There's more than enough space for a large corner sofa, wall unit, and a bookshelf. The kitchen is fully equipped, with a cooking area and a washing/eating area. The upper and lower cabinets, as well as the shelves, provide space to store your favorite cooking utensils. The kitchen includes a gas cooktop, extractor hood, combi microwave, dishwasher, and a fridge with a freezer compartment. At the quiet rear of the apartment is the bedroom, with a dormer and two skylights facing the cool northeast side. With a clever layout, there's enough space for a large double bed and wardrobes for clothes, shoes, and your favorite accessories. Next to the bedroom is the shower room, designed in the same style as the toilet. Rooftop terrace: When you first stepped into the apartment, you likely noticed the large skylight and the stairs. Behind this easily opened skylight, there's a fantastic rooftop terrace of about 27 m². With the sun on your face, your favorite playlist, good company, and an endlessly beautiful view of the entire city, this is a place to enjoy to the fullest… Special features: • Own ground (no ground lease!) • Living area of approximately 44.4 m² (NEN-2580), optimally laid out with plenty of natural light • Large, permitted rooftop terrace of approximately 26.5 m² with stunning views • Recently renovated roof, including new insulation and a new roof hatch (2025) • Kitchen appliances and central heating system replaced in 2024 • Entire apartment recently painted • Active and financially healthy VvE (homeowners association).
