Rijnstraat 236-21079 HV AmsterdamRijnbuurt-Midden

Tastefully and high-quality renovated 3-room apartment with a sunny west-facing balcony. The renovation combines contemporary living comfort with the authentic 1930s character, which makes the whole very attractive. The bright house has a practical layout and is centrally located on a wide street in the Rivierenbuurt, Amsterdam South, barely 10 minutes by bike from the center and a few minutes' walk from the banks of the Amstel and the park. THE OWNERS SPEAK When we bought this apartment in 2020, we immediately started a thorough renovation. Hardly anything had been done to the house in 60 years, so we renewed almost everything except the facade. It was a big job, but with a lot of pleasure and hard work we really made it our home. The lockdowns brought unexpected benefits: family and friends were ready to help, which not only made the process easier, but also more pleasant. We are still very proud of the result and we hope that the new residents will enjoy it just as much. Every morning starts for us with a coffee and breakfast at the kitchen island, where the sun shines beautifully. By moving the kitchen to the front, we have created a light, spacious kitchen-diner. Our favorite spot? The bay window, where you can look outside at everything that passes by. Thanks to the wide street, you also have no view from the neighbors, and the tree in front of the door provides extra privacy for three quarters of the year. At the weekend, we like to go out. Sometimes to De Pijp, sometimes along the Amstel or one of the parks in the area. We have always experienced the mix of the liveliness of De Pijp and the center, and the quiet, friendly atmosphere of the Rivierenbuurt, as a big plus. Every year we also look forward to De Parade, which takes place literally around the corner in the MLK park. For a cozy evening in the neighborhood, we highly recommend La Maria (a cozy pizzeria) and De Nada (a nice wine bar). But actually, there is nothing better than ending the day on the balcony and enjoying the last rays of sunshine. LAYOUT Neat communal staircase, completely renovated in 2024. The staircase is shared with only one other apartment. The entrance to the house is on the second floor. The various rooms can be reached from the hall. The L-shaped living room with open kitchen is located at the front. This room combines unique thirties style features with contemporary living comfort. A bay window from which a nice view of the street, authentic stained glass skylights, natural stone mantelpiece and a very complete kitchen with plenty of cupboard space, marble composite countertop and extensive kitchen appliances. The eye-catcher is the cooking island with bar where the current residents spend a lot of time. The living room has enough space for a sitting area and dining table. In the living room there are various built-in cupboards including a large walk-in closet, accessible from the kitchen, very useful for supplies and storing all kinds of things. There are 2 bedrooms at the rear. The spacious master bedroom has patio doors to the sunny balcony. There is also access to the balcony from the second bedroom. The bathroom is practically furnished with a bath, separate shower with rain shower head and a washbasin with vintage furniture so that the authentic atmosphere is also reflected here. In the hall there is a toilet with hanging closet and marble sink and a storage room with washing machine connection. The sunny balcony at the rear faces west so that you can enjoy the sun in the afternoon and evening. The entire house has a herringbone parquet floor with underfloor heating, stucco walls and ceilings. The ceilings have the characteristic thirties skirting board and partly recessed spotlights. The bathroom has electric underfloor heating. The kitchen has a built-in refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, oven, combination microwave, wine climate cabinet, induction hob with extractor and Quooker so that you have hot and cold water as well as boiling water immediately.
