Description
This residence offers a comfortable living experience within one of Amsterdam's most lively districts. The property is situated on Maarten Harpertszoon Trompstraat, a quiet street that benefits from close proximity to shops, restaurants and several green spaces. The building dates from 1925 and has been modernised inside while retaining its historic character. The apartment occupies the third level of the block and presents a total usable area of fifty three square metres. The layout includes a bright living room, two well proportioned sleeping rooms, a compact but functional bathroom and a modern kitchen that was installed in 2022.
Entering the home, the first impression is one of light and openness. Large windows dominate the front façade of the living area, allowing natural daylight to fill the space throughout the day. From the living room you can see a small internal garden that adds a sense of calm to the urban setting. The room is sized to accommodate a sofa, a coffee table and a media centre while still leaving room for a small work desk. The orientation of the windows provides pleasant views of the street and the surrounding trees.
The kitchen is positioned at the rear of the apartment and follows a contemporary open plan design. It is equipped with built‑in appliances that were installed in the year 2022. The cooking surface, oven, refrigerator and dishwasher are all integrated into the cabinetry, giving the kitchen a sleek appearance. Counter space is sufficient for daily meal preparation and the layout keeps the cooking area within easy sight of the living room, which is useful for entertaining guests. The kitchen also features a window that brings additional daylight into the space.
The property contains two separate sleeping rooms. The larger of the two rooms is suitable for use as a master bedroom. It offers enough floor space for a double bed, bedside tables and a wardrobe. The second bedroom is slightly smaller but still provides a comfortable environment for a child, a visiting guest or a home office. Both rooms share the same calm colour palette and benefit from the same quality of natural light that characterises the rest of the home.
The bathroom is compact yet intelligently arranged. It includes a shower area, a wash basin and a toilet that is separated from the main bathroom area, providing added privacy. The fixtures are modern and functional, and there is space for basic storage of towels and toiletries. The heating system throughout the apartment is supplied by a gas powered combination boiler that was installed in 2014. Hot water is generated on demand and the property is fitted with double glazed windows, which help to retain heat and reduce noise from the street.
Ownership of the apartment is full and free of leasehold obligations. This means that the buyer will not be required to pay an annual ground rent, a factor that is often highly valued in the Amsterdam market. The monthly service charge for the building is one hundred thirty three euros. This fee covers maintenance of common areas, insurance for the building structure and contributions to the reserve fund that is managed by the owners association. The owners association holds regular meetings, maintains a maintenance plan and has an active reserve fund, indicating a well managed community.
Parking in the immediate vicinity is available through paid parking spaces and a local permit system. While the apartment does not include a private garage, the availability of nearby parking options is useful for residents who own a vehicle. Public transport is highly accessible. Tram lines five, seven, thirteen, fifteen and eighteen run close by, offering rapid connections to central locations such as Leidseplein, the Dam and Amsterdam Central Station. The A10 ring road is also within easy reach, making car journeys to other parts of the city straightforward.
Recreational opportunities are abundant in the surrounding neighbourhood. Within a short walking distance you will find several parks, including Erasmuspark, Rembrandtpark, Westerpark and the iconic Vondelpark. These green areas provide space for jogging, picnics and relaxation. The local market known as Ten Katemarkt and the boutique shops along Jan Evertsenstraat supply daily necessities and specialty foods. Cafes and restaurants such as Café Thuys, Kauffmann and Le French Café are popular meeting points for residents and visitors alike. The Foodhallen, a large indoor food market, is also nearby and offers a wide variety of culinary options.
The location offers a blend of quiet residential atmosphere and vibrant city life. While the street itself is tranquil, the Baarsjes district is known for its multicultural character, lively cafés and cultural events. The historic centre of Amsterdam and the Jordaan neighbourhood are only a ten minute bike ride away, providing easy access to museums, historic canals and a broad range of cultural attractions. Schiphol Airport can be reached in roughly twenty to twenty five minutes by public transport, making international travel convenient.
In summary, the apartment presents a well balanced combination of light filled interior spaces, modern kitchen facilities, two adaptable sleeping rooms and a functional bathroom. The full ownership status eliminates leasehold concerns and the building’s service charge appears reasonable for the level of maintenance provided. The neighbourhood offers a strong mix of amenities, green spaces and transport connections, making the property suitable for a wide range of occupants, from young professionals to small families seeking a comfortable urban home.
