Refined Ground Floor Apartment with Park Views and Garden Office
Key Features
Upsides

- Paid parking in the area requires obtaining a parking permit
Description
This ground floor apartment is situated directly adjacent to Rembrandtpark in the popular Amsterdam West district. The property offers approximately 87 square meters of living space and was comprehensively renovated in 2017, resulting in a well finished home with a practical layout and abundant natural light. The building dates from 1940 but has been modernized to meet contemporary standards.
The entrance is located at the front of the property, leading into a hallway with wardrobe space and a distinctive steel interior door. From here, you access the generous living area. The living room features a bay window that provides an unobstructed view of the greenery in Rembrandtpark. A gas fireplace serves as a focal point in the center of the room, adding warmth and atmosphere during colder months.
At the rear of the living space, the modern open kitchen is finished in high gloss white with a composite worktop. The kitchen is equipped with various built in appliances including a Quooker boiling water tap, Siemens appliances, a steam oven, combi oven, refrigerator freezer combination, dishwasher, and a five burner gas hob. A practical utility area between the kitchen and the sleeping quarters houses the central heating boiler and provides space for a washing machine and dryer.
The apartment currently contains two spacious bedrooms, both located at the garden side of the property. The first bedroom receives pleasant natural light through a skylight and two patio doors leading to the garden. This room has been arranged in such a way that it would be possible to create an additional third bedroom if desired.
The second bedroom is notably large and features a freestanding bathtub, giving this space a distinctive luxurious character. Like the first bedroom, it has a skylight and patio doors opening to the garden. A custom built in closet was installed in this room in 2022.
The bathroom is generously proportioned and includes a walk in shower, double vanity unit, and high quality finishes. A separate toilet is accessible from the hallway. Additional storage space is available in a dedicated storage area.
The back garden measures approximately 38 square meters and has been carefully landscaped to provide a sheltered outdoor seating area. At the front, there is a maintained facade garden with a bench where you can enjoy the sun from the afternoon into the evening. A significant feature of this property is the freestanding office space in the back garden, which was high quality renovated in 2024. This structure is fully insulated and equipped with underfloor heating, making it suitable for year round use as a home office, studio, or workspace. The space can also serve practical storage purposes.
Throughout the apartment, an oak herringbone parquet floor has been installed. The property features LED recessed lighting, most of which is dimmable. Double glazing is present throughout, contributing to the energy label A rating. The heating is provided by an Intergas central heating boiler from 2017.
The location offers direct access to Rembrandtpark with its green spaces and recreational facilities. The surrounding neighborhood provides a wide range of shops, specialty stores, restaurants, and daily amenities, particularly along Jan Evertsenstraat and Postjesweg. Public transportation connections are excellent with trams and buses nearby, and there is quick access to the A10 ring road. The city center, Jordaan district, and De Pijp are all easily reachable by bicycle or public transport.
The property is situated on owned land, meaning there is no ground lease. The apartment is part of a small and manageable homeowners association consisting of four members. The monthly VvE contribution is 90 euros. The association is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, has a maintenance plan, maintains a reserve fund, and has building insurance in place.
Parking in the area is regulated with a permit system. The property has a flat roof covered with bituminous roofing material. The total volume of the apartment is 288 cubic meters. The garden faces east, which means morning sun in the back garden, while the front facade garden catches afternoon and evening sun.
