Stylish Design Apartment with Unobstructed Views in Amsterdam's City Centre
Key Features
Upsides
- The property is located in the heart of Amsterdam's historic centre in a highly desirable and quiet neighbourhood with views over a green square.
- It is a freehold property (no ground lease) and has been renovated with high-quality finishes, including a bespoke kitchen and luxury bathrooms.
- The apartment offers a spacious and practical layout with three bedrooms and two bathrooms on one floor, suitable for families or professionals.
Downsides
- The homeowners association anticipates a necessary renovation of the communal staircase and is only discussing the possibility of installing a lift, which may result in future costs.
- The property is located on the second floor without an existing lift, which could be a disadvantage for those with limited mobility.
- The energy label is C, which is not the most energy-efficient rating, as the building dates from before 1906 and has double glazing but no mention of more modern insulation techniques.

A second bathroom with shower and washbasin, as well as a separate guest toilet, complete the accommodation. With three bedrooms and two bathrooms, the apartment offers a highly desirable layout suitable for a wide range of lifestyles, from families to couples seeking generous living space on a single floor.
The apartment is located in the highly desirable Amstelveld neighbourhood, one of Amsterdam's most charming residential areas. Despite its central location, the surroundings are remarkably peaceful and green.

The picturesque canal belt, De Pijp and the River Amstel are all within walking distance. A large playground is located directly across from Utrechtsestraat, making this an attractive location for families. Excellent public transport connections provide easy access to Amsterdam Central Station, Amsterdam South and the Zuidas business district.
