This attractive and spacious 4-room apartment with garden is located in a very characteristic building from 1904 and has it all: a lovely southeast-facing garden, an extra sun terrace, 4 bedrooms, a renovated foundation (both neighbors have had their foundations redone), a practical basement, a romantic fireplace, plenty of storage space, tasteful herringbone parquet floors, a modern kitchen, high ceilings, a fresh bathroom with sauna, a pleasant layout, is located on private land, has a good and well-organized owners' association, has multiple layout and/or expansion options, and above all, has a fantastic location in Amsterdam Zuid! There are several options to improve the layout of this double ground floor apartment. For example, the wall between the current kitchen and living room can be removed to create a wonderful open kitchen on the garden side, or the kitchen can be moved to the front of the apartment. On the first floor, it is possible to create a fourth bedroom and possibly an extra study by moving the bathroom to the center. The ground floor can be extended by 1.25 meters, and the basement can be excavated to create usable space under the house.

All amenities, such as well-regarded schools and public transportation (various tram lines and bus connections), are within walking distance. There are also numerous terraces and restaurants nearby, as well as the shops of Van Baerlestraat, Beethovenstraat, and P.C. Hooftstraat on the one hand, and the Concertgebouw, the Rijksmuseum, and the Museumplein on the other. Furthermore, the apartment is conveniently located for several major roads, and Schiphol Airport is a 20-minute drive away. Parking is by permit system, and paid parking is available in front of the building. Layout: Ground floor: Stately entrance with vestibule and spacious hall, which provides access to all rooms on the ground floor. At the front, you will find a handy storage room and separate toilet with washbasin, and at the rear is the kitchen, which is equipped with a 5-burner gas stove with extractor, an oven, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer combination. The spacious living room spans the entire length of the property, allowing plenty of natural sunlight to enter and can be arranged to suit your taste.

Valeriusstraat 89 (the middle facade) was built by the architectural duo P.A.J. Scheelbeek and J.J. Heijthekker, who designed more imaginatively than their colleagues. Many houses in this street have beautiful Art Nouveau details such as fencing with whip lines, pointed arches, stained glass, and sometimes tile panels in portals and on arches. This is one of the most beautiful and purest blocks, which has a somewhat Viennese feel to it. All in all, it really has a very unique facade.
