Location
Set in a characterful Amsterdam School-style building in De Baarsjes, this well-designed apartment stands on a quiet, green street within Amsterdam’s ring road, a stone’s throw from the nationally listed Jeruzalemkerk and Mercatorplein’s landmark architecture.
The area offers a lively selection of cafés, restaurants and recreational activities. Amsterdam city centre and the Jordaan district can be reached within approximately ten minutes by bicycle.
For those looking for peace and greenery, both Erasmuspark and Rembrandtpark are only a two-minute walk away. Vondelpark can also be reached within a few minutes by bicycle. This gives the property a unique location, combining the vibrancy of the city with a calm and green living environment.
Several primary schools are located nearby. The nearest major access road can be reached within approximately two minutes.

Layout
The apartment comprises a spacious living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and balcony.
The living room has a warm, characterful atmosphere, enhanced by original wooden flooring and beautiful glazed doors. Adjoining it is a full-size home office: a comfortable, private place to work that can also serve as a dining room or second bedroom.
The glazed doors allow the office to be closed off without losing its visual connection to the living room, which offers ample space for a comfortable seating area.
The spacious kitchen benefits from plenty of natural light and connects directly to the balcony. Through the French doors, you can enjoy pleasant views of the surrounding area. The kitchen offers generous storage and worktop space.
The bright, spacious bedroom has two French doors overlooking the lush, peaceful rear garden, where a tree provides privacy, plus ample room for a double bed and other furniture.
The apartment also has a luxurious and well-maintained bathroom. The bathroom was renovated in 2018 and includes a rain shower, washbasin with mirrored cabinet and wall-mounted toilet.

Outdoor space
The spacious west-facing balcony is a wonderful place to enjoy the afternoon sun and the attractive views. The balcony extends across the full width of the apartment.
There is enough space for a small table, making it possible to dine outdoors. The balcony also includes a practical storage cupboard.

Freehold land
An important advantage of this property is that it is situated on freehold land. This means:
No ground lease payments
No periodic ground rent is payable for the use of the land, which may result in considerable savings.
Greater financial certainty
There are no recurring ground lease payments and no uncertainty regarding future increases in ground rent or revised conditions upon renewal of a leasehold agreement.
