The generous size, thoughtful layout, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, an extra study, second kitchen, sunny roof terrace facing southwest and the convenience of an elevator make this an exceptional property.
Ample light and unprecedented privacy provide ultimate living comfort. A unique opportunity to live in one of downtown’s most characterful locations!
From the street, one immediately notices the sophisticated facade, rich in detailing and historic grandeur. Once inside, a world of peace and harmony unfolds, where light, space and craftsmanship come together in a unique whole. Large stained-glass windows, high ceilings and a continuous wooden floor form the basis of this exceptionally well laid-out home, where every room has been carefully designed. Thanks to the special O-shape around a light court, the house is flooded with daylight and you enjoy optimal privacy here, you only look inside yourself, something rare in Amsterdam.
Layout:
The apartment is completely ground floor (except for the upper terrace floor) and accessible by elevator. The apartment has two entrances and even two central heating boilers, still from the time when they were two separate apartments, merged in 2011. The central hall is an architectural statement in itself, with rounded passages and a rhythmic interplay of lines that elegantly connects the various rooms.
At the front is the impressive living room with a ceiling height of almost three meters. The tall windows with original stained glass panels create a playful and warm play of light. The kitchen is generously sized and is equipped with a kitchen island with stone top, high-quality appliances and subtle custom details.
The master bedroom is centrally located in the home and is characterized by three French doors and high ceilings. Directly opposite the room, across the hall, is the spacious bathroom with double sink and walk-in shower, equipped with an integrated infrared heat lamp system. Next to the bathroom is an additional room. The second bedroom is located at the rear of the house and features a private bathroom en-suite, done in a Mediterranean-inspired style, also equipped with an infrared heat lamp in the shower. There is also an additional room in the hallway, ideal as a quiet study, second living room or even as a third bedroom. In addition, there are two separate toilets and several built-in closets.
Through a stylish staircase you reach the top floor, where a second kitchen has been created, perfect to use in combination with the roof terrace. Double French doors lead to the sheltered and sunny terrace of approximately 17 m² with heat lamps, a wonderful place to quietly enjoy the outdoors in the middle of the bustling city.
