Comfortable City Living in a Light and Spacious Double Upper House with Unique Features
This light-filled and spacious double upper house of approx. 117 m² offers a thoughtful layout spread across two full floors. The lower level features a welcoming living area with solid oak flooring, three large windows, and a distinctively designed open-plan kitchen.
Upstairs, you’ll find two bedrooms—with potential for a third—a mezzanine, a bathroom, and a generous sunny roof terrace (18 m²). Natural light, original rooflines and high-quality finishes add both character and comfort. The property is freehold and located on a lively street near Oosterpark, the Dappermarkt, and the vibrant Javastraat, home to cafés, restaurants, shops and all essential amenities.
Entrance
Access to the private entrance is via a recently painted communal staircase. From the second floor, an internal staircase leads to the apartment on the third floor. The hallway includes a utility cupboard, meter cupboard, coat space, separate toilet, and a glass panel offering a glimpse into the living room.
Living room & kitchen
The living room, with solid oak flooring, is bathed in light from three large rear-facing windows. A striking feature is the glass ceiling panel, which allows additional daylight to flow in from above. The modern design is complemented by authentic white-painted ceiling beams, creating a calm, clean aesthetic. Double wooden doors open onto the spacious kitchen.
At the front, the modern black kitchen stands out with a characterful natural stone floor and premium appliances, including a Boretti 6-burner gas stove with electric and convection oven, a dishwasher, SMEG fridge, and separate freezer. There’s plenty of storage, including custom-built pantry units. A true eye-catcher is the elevated seating nook with a tall window—offering views up to the mezzanine and down to the lively street below. This clever layout adds both height and depth to the space.
Bedrooms, bathroom & roof terrace
The top floor features an open and playfully arranged layout under slanted rooflines. Multiple skylights flood the space with daylight, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere. The main bedroom and landing form a large open space with wooden flooring, a sleek built-in bedframe, and custom-made wardrobes. This generous area lends itself perfectly to a reading or work nook, and can easily be reconfigured to create a third bedroom.
At the rear is a separate room with a large window, ideal as a bedroom, study, nursery or guest room. Between the main bedroom and rear room sits the stylish bathroom, equipped with a bathtub, walk-in shower, vanity unit and second toilet. A skylight here adds natural light to the space.
From the landing, a fixed wooden staircase leads directly to the southwest-facing roof terrace. Recently updated, the terrace includes built-in bench seating with storage and ample space for a barbecue and lounge area—an ideal spot to enjoy the sun from morning to evening, with far-reaching city views.
