Renovated Ground Floor Apartment with Garden and Office Space at Rembrandtpark

This ground floor apartment is situated on Orteliuskade in the Orteliusbuurt-Midden neighborhood of Amsterdam West. The property is located directly adjacent to Rembrandtpark, offering a free view of greenery from the front of the home. The apartment has a total living area of approximately 87 square meters and was comprehensively renovated in 2017, resulting in a stylish and practical living space with a high standard of finish.

The property benefits from a favorable position with an open outlook towards the park at the front and a sheltered backyard at the rear. The interior features an oak herringbone lamella parquet floor throughout, complemented by built-in LED lighting that is largely dimmable. The apartment is equipped with double glazing and has achieved an energy label A rating, indicating good energy efficiency.

Upon entering through the private front entrance, you arrive in the hallway which includes wardrobe space and a characterful steel interior door. From here, you access the spacious living area. The living room at the front features a bay window and offers an unobstructed view towards the greenery of Rembrandtpark. A gas fireplace is positioned centrally in the room, providing additional warmth and ambiance.

At the rear of the living space is the modern open kitchen finished in high-gloss white with a composite worktop. The kitchen is well-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 cooktop. 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 has 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 outside. This room has been arranged in such a way that creating an additional third bedroom would be feasible if desired.

The second bedroom is generously proportioned and distinguished by a freestanding bathtub, giving this space a distinctive luxurious character. A skylight and patio doors to the garden ensure good natural light. This bedroom also features a luxury built-in closet that was installed in 2022.

The bathroom is spacious and fitted with a walk-in shower, double sink, and high-quality finishes. A separate toilet is accessible from the hallway. Additionally, there is useful storage space available within the apartment.

The backyard measures approximately 38 square meters and is neatly laid out, offering a pleasant and sheltered spot for outdoor sitting. At the front, there is also 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 detached office space in the backyard, which was extensively renovated in 2024. This structure serves not only as practical storage but is excellently suited as an independent home workspace, studio, or office. The space is fully insulated with roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation, and is equipped with electricity and underfloor heating, making it usable year-round as a full-fledged workspace.

The heating system consists of an Intergas gas-fired combination boiler from 2017, which is owned by the property. The property is part of a small and manageable homeowners association (VvE) with four members. The monthly VvE contribution is 90 euros. The VvE is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, has a periodic contribution, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan, and has building insurance in place.

The property is located on freehold land (eigen grond), which is an important consideration in Amsterdam where leasehold is common. The building dates from 1940 and is situated within a protected townscape (beschermd stads- of dorpsgezicht). The roof is flat and covered with bituminous roofing material.

The location is highly attractive given the direct proximity to Rembrandtpark with its free view and abundant greenery immediately outside. The surrounding area offers a wide range of shops, specialty stores, dining options, and daily amenities, particularly along Jan Evertsenstraat and Postjesweg. The property is well-connected in terms of accessibility, with good tram and bus connections nearby and quick access to the A10 ring road. The city center, the Jordaan neighborhood, and De Pijp are all readily reachable by bicycle or public transport.

Parking in the area is through paid parking and parking permit system. The property has a content volume of 288 cubic meters and is spread over a single floor level at ground floor level. Mechanical ventilation and TV cable connections are present in the property.

This ground floor apartment combines the practicality of single-level living with the appeal of a parkside location, a private garden, and the added benefit of a dedicated home office space in the garden. The 2017 renovation and subsequent updates, including the 2024 office renovation and 2022 built-in closet installation, demonstrate ongoing care and investment in the property.
