Seller's personal note For years we have enjoyed the lively location in this beautiful city. The neighborhood is cozy, so we never had to be bored. From our home we could go to the movies at the Raaks at the last minute, the gym around the corner, the doctor, the polling station, the library, etc. A late message at Albert Heyn is never a problem either. It is also so nice here that you can roll your suitcase to the bus stop in 5 minutes and get on the bus to Schiphol for a vacation. By the way, we are surrounded by bus stops here and we made a lot of use of them. When it is busy outside, the roof terrace was our favorite spot in the sun, a real oasis of peace that does not feel oppressive, because there is also a view there. In the summer you also get cheerful from the boats that you see sailing past on the Leidsevaart. Other details: -The home feels larger than 62 m2 because of the 10 m2 extra meters in the attic under the sloping roof; -Small, active VvE (2 members); -Private land; -Energy label C. Whether you are looking for a first purchase, a characterful city apartment, or just a place where you come home with a smile every day - Zijlstraat 4a has it all.
