Explicitly stated: CV-ketel (Intergas Kombi Kompakt HRE 28/25) from 2017 provides both heating and hot water. This is a clear central heating system serving the entire apartment.

No fireplace is mentioned in the description, features list, or highlights. This is a modern apartment complex where central heating would be the primary heat source.

Walk-In Closet
Explicitly stated in both English and Dutch descriptions: 'One bedroom features a practical walk-in wardrobe' (één slaapkamer beschikt over een praktische walk-in closet).
Home Office
The listing mentions the second bedroom is 'perfectly suited as a child's room, guest room or home office.' While not a dedicated home office space, the flexibility is clearly indicated.
Skylight
No skylight is mentioned. The apartment relies on large windows (corner position with large raampartijen) for natural light. Skylights are not standard in Dutch apartment construction unless specifically mentioned.
Exposed Beams
No mention of exposed beams. This is a modern apartment (1999) with a plat dak (flat roof), and the architectural description focuses on clean lines and modern finishes rather than rustic or traditional elements.
Bay Window
No bay window is mentioned. The light is attributed to the corner position, large regular windows, and south-west orientation. Bay windows are not typical in Dutch apartment construction.
Private Indoor Pool
No pool is mentioned. The listing mentions nearby sports facilities (TrainMore gym) but no private pool. This would be extremely unusual for a 92 m² apartment in Amsterdam.
Private Indoor Sauna
No sauna is mentioned in the listing. Only standard bathroom amenities (bathtub and wastafelmeubel) are described.
Built-In Wardrobes
One bedroom explicitly features a walk-in closet (walk-in wardrobe). The second bedroom is described but its storage is not detailed. Built-in wardrobes are partially confirmed.
French Doors
The listing mentions 'grote schuifpui' (large sliding doors) connecting the living room to the balcony. This is a sliding door system rather than French doors (panelen met ruiten die naar binnen opendraaien), though both provide similar indoor-outdoor flow.

Interior Style

No indication of industrial style elements such as exposed brick, metal fixtures, or raw concrete finishes. The apartment is described as clean, modern, and well-maintained with a refined aesthetic.
Mediterranean
Located in Amsterdam with a green, park-oriented setting. The description emphasizes light, modern aesthetics rather than warm Mediterranean tones or materials.
