The living room forms the heart of this apartment and is particularly impressive due to its width of over 8 meters.

The living room easily accommodates both a comfortable seating area and a dining table, making it suitable for various living styles. The 1930s architectural elements contribute to the characteristic atmosphere that is highly valued in this type of Amsterdam apartment.

At the rear of the property, you will find the kitchen which is equipped with a washing machine connection. From the kitchen, you have direct access to the balcony.

The apartment currently features two spacious bedrooms, both located at the quiet rear of the property. One of the bedrooms has direct access to the balcony, which is a practical and pleasant feature. The layout of the apartment offers the possibility to create a third bedroom, which could be attractive for buyers who need additional sleeping space or a home office.

The bathroom is neatly finished and includes a bathtub with a shower function, a spacious washbasel, and a separate toilet. This separate placement of the toilet is practical when the bathroom is in use by other residents.
