Tweede Helmersstraat 39-11054 CC AmsterdamHelmersbuurt-Oost

This attractive two-bedroom apartment excels in both style and functionality. The layout is thoughtfully designed and surprisingly spacious: a bright living room with seamless transitions, a lovely kitchen-diner, two well-proportioned bedrooms, and a delightful south-facing balcony. Every detail has been carefully considered, with a high standard of finish and optimal use of space. Best of all, the property is freehold—so no leasehold ground rent! You’ll find this gem in the charming Helmersbuurt, one of Amsterdam’s most beautiful neighbourhoods. Characterised by elegant high streets and mature trees offering natural summer shade, it’s peaceful and green, yet just a short stroll from Vondelpark, vibrant eateries, and all the urban delights the city has to offer. Simply put, there’s no better place to live. Layout Accessed via a private entrance and front door on the first floor, you step into a hallway with a cloakroom and cupboard housing the central heating boiler. There’s ample space for both a washing machine and dryer. At the front of the property is the first bedroom, offering space for a bed and wardrobe. The living room boasts a cosy seating area, a traditional fireplace, and beautiful exposed brick accents that add warmth and character. To the rear is the dining area, which opens onto the sunny south-facing balcony. The adjoining open-plan kitchen is equipped with built-in appliances including a Siemens oven, four-burner gas hob, fridge with freezer compartment, and integrated dishwasher. Black metal finishes throughout the kitchen, bathroom, door handles, light switches, and curtain rails lend a modern and cohesive look. From the living room, you enter the second bedroom, which includes a large built-in wardrobe and an en-suite modern bathroom featuring a walk-in shower with thermostat tap, washbasin unit, towel radiator, and toilet. Location The location is truly ideal. You’re within walking distance of the Vondelpark, De Hallen, the 9 Streets, and the lively Leidseplein. The Museum Quarter and Canal Belt are also just a five-minute walk away. A wide array of charming cafés and restaurants are just around the corner: Gertrude offers refined seasonal dishes in a warm, contemporary setting, while Pastis brings classic French bistro ambience to Amsterdam—perfect for a relaxed dinner or a fine glass of wine. For artisan gelato, Scottozero Gelatobar is a must-visit. And at Café Helmers, you can enjoy great coffee, lunch, or drinks in a friendly neighbourhood pub atmosphere. Daily groceries are easily sorted at nearby supermarkets, local shops, the Ten Katemarkt, and a host of speciality stores. For green space and relaxation, both Vondelpark and Bilderdijkpark are just around the corner. Accessibility Centrally located and exceptionally well-connected, the apartment is served by tram lines on Eerste Constantijn Huygensstraat and Overtoom, offering quick links across the city. By bike, you can reach the city centre, Museumplein, or the Canal Belt in minutes. Thanks to its favourable location near the S100 and S106, car access to the ring road is also excellent.
