Spacious Bright Upper Apartment with Rooftop Terrace in Oud West

This upper apartment is located on the second and third floors of a characteristic building from 1898 on the sunny side of the Bosboom Toussaintstraat in Amsterdam Oud West. The building is wider than average, which translates into extra dimensions throughout the living spaces. The property has a total living area of 133 square meters and sits on freehold land, meaning there is no ground lease to consider.

The entrance to the apartment is reached via a shared staircase leading to the second floor where there is a wardrobe area. The apartment itself occupies the entire third and fourth floor, providing a pleasant sense of space and privacy that is often lacking in more compact city apartments.

The living floor on the third level features a hall with double glass doors that immediately let in natural light. The living room is situated at the front of the building and has three large windows plus a French balcony. This creates an open and bright space where a wood burning stove adds atmosphere during the colder months. The open kitchen is located at the sunny rear of the property and is equipped with a bar and various built-in appliances. The dining area with space for a large table connects seamlessly to the kitchen and provides access through French doors to the south-facing balcony. A separate guest toilet is located on the landing for convenience.

The characteristic internal staircase leads to the fourth floor which contains three well-proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom at the front features a light well that was originally designed to create even northern light, similar to what is often seen in artist studios. This results in a calm, bright space with consistent daylight throughout the day. This bedroom has a built-in closet wall and can also be accessed directly from the living room via an internal staircase that is still present. The en-suite bathroom is generously proportioned and includes a bathtub, shower, double sink, and toilet.

At the rear of this floor there are two additional bedrooms. The second bathroom is accessible from the landing and also features a bathtub and toilet. In total the apartment has two bathrooms and three toilets, making it practical for families and guests alike. On the landing there is a spacious closet wall where a kitchen was previously located. The connections are still present, which offers flexibility for an alternative layout or perhaps creating a separate living level for a teenager or au pair. Additionally there is a separate utility space with washing machine connections.

The rooftop terrace of approximately 28 square meters is accessible via a fixed staircase and offers a free view over the city. This outdoor space is equipped with electricity and water, making it a comfortable area to enjoy throughout the seasons. Combined with the south-facing balcony on the living floor, residents have access to approximately 32 square meters of outdoor space in total.

The property is located on the sunny side of the Bosboom Toussaintstraat in Oud West, a neighborhood where urban convenience and a green, peaceful residential environment come together nicely. The street itself is well-organized and pleasant, with trees and a relaxed atmosphere that is not found everywhere in the city. At the same time, everything is within easy reach. The Jordaan is around the corner and the city center, Vondelpark, and Amsterdam South are quickly accessible.

The neighborhood offers a good mix of liveliness and convenience. Within walking distance there are numerous pleasant places to sit for a coffee or dinner in the evening. For daily groceries there are several supermarkets within walking distance on the Eerste Constantijn Huygensstraat, Overtoom, and Bilderdijkstraat. There are also plenty of specialty shops in the area, including a good butcher, baker, and delicatessen shops on the Elandsgracht.

What makes this location particularly appealing is the proximity to art and culture. The Internationaal Theater Amsterdam, DeLaMar Theater, and Theater Bellevue are all within walking distance. Paradiso, Melkweg, the Rijksmuseum, and the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam are also within walking distance. This makes it easy to attend a performance or concert in the evening. For families, this is a practical location with primary schools, playgrounds, and music and dance schools all nearby.

Accessibility is good. By bicycle you can quickly reach the city center, South, or the Museumplein. Tram and bus stop nearby and take you quickly through the city. By car you can reach the Ring A10 within a few minutes, which is practical when you need to leave the city.

In terms of sustainability, the apartment has energy label C and the possibility to use solar panels through the postal code roos system. This makes the apartment above average sustainable for this type of upper apartment, while still allowing full use of the private rooftop terrace.

The property has double glazing throughout and oak floors on the living floor with carpet on the sleeping floor. The heating and hot water are provided by a Vaillant Ecotec plus combi boiler from 2018, which is owned rather than rented.
