Kraaipanstraat 341091 PL AmsterdamTransvaalbuurt-West

Situated on the peaceful Kraaipanstraat in Amsterdam Oost, this surprisingly spacious family home offers no fewer than six bedrooms and a deep garden. Located on a charming street where children can play safely and on-street parking is still easily available, this property is ideal for families. Originally built as two separate dwellings – with both front doors still intact – this home presents a wealth of possibilities for dual occupancy, multigenerational living, or creating your dream home. In 1903, architect Berlage designed the urban development plan for the Kraaipanstraat in the Transvaalbuurt neighborhood, further elaborated in 1916 by Jan Gratama under the guidance of Berlage and Versteeg. The construction included 760 homes with a distinctive fortress-like structure. With a living area of 183 m², many original details, and solid construction, this home is full of potential for those who appreciate character and the freedom to modernize to their own taste. The location is perfect: peaceful, yet only a 10-minute bike ride from Amsterdam's vibrant city center. Layout: Ground Floor: The house features two front doors, immediately hinting at its unique history. The entrance leads to a spacious hallway with a separate toilet. The living room is bright and generous, partly due to the rear extension. There’s ample space for a large seating area and dining table. French doors open onto the garden – a green oasis offering both sun and shade. At the back, you'll also find a second potential kitchen area, ideal for large families or dual living arrangements. First Floor: This floor includes three rooms, among them two spacious bedrooms located at the front and rear of the property. The third room opens onto a sunny balcony/roof terrace (currently without railing). A separate toilet is also located on this floor. Second Floor: Two full-sized bedrooms and the bathroom are found on the second floor. The bathroom includes a shower and sink, with potential for expansion. A separate laundry room with washer and dryer connections is also located here. The central heating boiler is housed on this floor as well. Third Floor: The sixth bedroom is located on the top floor, along with the mechanical ventilation system and the inverter for the 10 solar panels. Outdoor Space: The rear garden is a lovely, sheltered place to relax, with plenty of room for a cozy seating area or children's play space. The south-facing roof terrace on the first floor is a great spot to enjoy the sun. Neighborhood: The home is located in the atmospheric Transvaalbuurt in Amsterdam Oud-Oost, a neighborhood full of character and history. The street layout was designed in the early 20th century by Berlage, which is evident in the charming streets, public squares, and green spaces. Several primary schools, playgrounds, and parks – such as Oosterpark and Park Frankendael – are nearby. For daily shopping or a tasty lunch, the Dappermarkt, restaurant De Kas, and brunch spot Benji’s are within walking distance. Amstel Station is also a short walk away, and Amsterdam’s city center can be reached in just 10 minutes by bike. Parking: There is ample public (paid) parking available on the street with a permit system.
