Valeriusstraat 15-H1071 MB AmsterdamCornelis Schuytbuurt

We present this distinctive and charming family home with a floor surface area of 136m², situated on the ground and first floors, plus a highly functional basement of 35m². The property has a good practical layout, including a large living room with a high ceiling, a semi-open kitchen, a veranda and garden (south facing), and, on the first floor, three bedrooms and a bathroom. There is space in the basement - which receives daylight - for storage or for a children’s play area. The apartment requires some level of modernisation, affording the new owners the opportunity to turn it into the ideal family home entirely in line with their own tastes and wishes! It is in an outstanding location, in the prettiest part of Valeriusstraat, between Banstraat and Cornelis Schuytstraat. LAYOUT Private street entrance, with a porch. Sizeable hall with a coat cupboard and a separate toilet and sink. Stairs lead from the hall to the first floor. A striking feature of the entrance hall is its attractive marble floor and panelling. Access to the spacious living room, which has windows at both ends and is therefore very bright, with a high ceiling (about 3.30 metres) and many original details, including the mantelpiece, the decorative ceiling, and the panelled doors. The seating area, which features an open-hearth fireplace, is at the front of the property; the dining section is at the rear. The semi-open kitchen is of a good size and can also be reached from the hall. French windows give access to the south-facing garden, with a fine veranda serving as an extension to the house. A few steps lead down from the veranda to the more sheltered part of the garden. Because the garden is south facing, you can enjoy the sun here almost all day long. The first floor has three bedrooms, of varying sizes, the biggest of which, at the rear, comes with a balcony (which faces south). To the front is the second large bedroom, featuring an eye-catching bay window (with beautiful stained glass) that commands great views of the street. The third bedroom is also at the front; this would make an ideal nursery or study. The bathroom features a bath, a shower, a sink, and a towel radiator. There is a separate toilet on the landing. One option on this storey is to change the layout, creating a fourth bedroom by moving the bathroom to the middle part of the floor. The basement can be accessed through a hatch in the hall and currently functions as a storage space. The headroom in the basement is 1.86 metres up to the beams. For this reason, its surface area is not included in the official overall surface area of the property. Nonetheless, it is a perfectly serviceable space. LOCATION You will find all your everyday shopping needs on Cornelis Schuytstraat or Van Baerlestraat, including a wide range of delicatessens. The local area also abounds in excellent bars and restaurants, such as George, Schotsheuvel, Barolo, and Carter. There are a number of highly regarded local schools nearby, too, including The British School, Nicolaas Maes School, Willemspark School, and Amsterdamse Montessori School. Vondelpark just around the corner is the ideal spot for a healthy walk, joining your friends for a bootcamp, or a relaxing drink at one of its bars or cafes. Local transport connections are good, including tram routes 2, 3, 5, and 12. The Amsterdam Zuid railway station is just a short distance away, from where Amsterdam Schiphol Airport can be reached within six minutes. For those with a car, junctions S108 and S109 on the A10 Ring Road are very close by. OWNERS’ ASSOCIATION The owners’ association has two members and is managed internally.
