Spacious Maisonnette with Roof Terrace and Four Bedrooms near Oosterpark
Key Features
Description
Located in the vibrant and highly desirable Oosterparkbuurt neighborhood of Amsterdam, this spacious maisonnette apartment offers an exceptional living experience. Situated at Tweede Boerhaavestraat, the property spans approximately 141 square meters of living space, distributed across the two uppermost floors of a classic building. The home provides a rare combination of generous indoor space and abundant outdoor areas, including a fantastic roof terrace with sweeping views over the city skyline. The apartment is in excellent condition and ready to move into, and boasts a perpetually bought off ground lease, adding significant peace of mind for the future owner.
Upon entering the property on the second residential level, you are welcomed by a thoughtfully designed landing area. This space immediately sets the tone for the quality of the home, featuring a custom shoe cabinet and a practical wardrobe closet, ensuring an entrance free of clutter. A separate toilet is also conveniently located on this level. From the entrance hall, stairs lead up to the main living floor, which occupies the entire third residential level of the building.
The living area is a spectacular, brightly illuminated space that stretches across the full length and width of the building. Large windows on both the front and rear facades ensure that natural light pours into the home throughout the day. At the rear, double French doors and a sliding glass door open seamlessly onto a sunny, south facing balcony. This outdoor space overlooks a quiet, green courtyard, providing a peaceful retreat from the bustling city. At the front of the living room, a charming French balcony allows you to open the windows wide and enjoy the street life below. All windows are fitted with elegant wooden shutters, allowing you to control the light and privacy with ease. The walls have been recently repainted, giving the space a fresh and contemporary feel, while the beautiful oak wooden floor adds warmth and character.
The open concept kitchen is a true centerpiece of the living area. It is equipped with a modern cooking island and a bar area, making it a perfect spot for casual dining or socializing while cooking. The kitchen includes a gas stove for the cooking enthusiast, an American style refrigerator, and an abundance of storage space. Adjacent to the kitchen and dining area is a cozy sitting space, highlighted by a stylish fireplace with an integrated gas heater. This feature not only adds ambiance but also provides comfortable warmth during the colder months. Next to the fireplace, a cleverly designed niche accommodates a television, keeping the living space streamlined and uncluttered. A striking large steel industrial door separates the main living area from a versatile study or office room. This space is soundproofed to some extent by the heavy door and can easily be utilized as a fourth bedroom, making it ideal for a growing family, guests, or individuals working from home.
Ascending the internal staircase, which has been recently fitted with new carpeting, you reach the fourth residential level. This floor is dedicated to sleeping quarters and personal care facilities. The landing area provides access to a second separate toilet and a practical storage room. This storage area includes all necessary connections for a washing machine and dryer, keeping laundry tasks out of the main living areas.
The master bedroom is situated at the rear of the building. It is generously proportioned and features a complete wall of integrated wardrobes, offering extensive storage space. For optimal comfort during warm summer months, the master bedroom is also equipped with an air conditioning unit. Two additional, amply sized bedrooms are located on this floor. One of these rooms features a custom bunk bed with an integrated wardrobe, which is an ideal and playful setup for children or for accommodating overnight guests. These rooms share a spacious and fully equipped family bathroom. The bathroom is designed for relaxation and functionality, including a comfortable bathtub, a spacious double walk in shower, a modern sink with a vanity unit, and a stylish designer radiator.
One of the absolute highlights of this property is the stunning roof terrace. Reached via a staircase topped with a skylight that floods the stairwell with natural light, the terrace measures approximately 34 square meters. Because it sits atop the building, it offers spectacular panoramic views over the Amsterdam cityscape. The terrace is a true sun trap, allowing you to enjoy the sun all day long. Recent maintenance has been performed here, including the re-oiling of the wooden deck and the repainting of the railings and interior walls. In total, the outdoor space amounts to roughly 40 square meters, combining the roof terrace, the south facing balcony at the rear, and the French balcony at the front.
The location of this property is exceptionally convenient and attractive. The Tweede Boerhaavestraat is a quiet, residential street, yet it is perfectly positioned to take advantage of all the amenities the Oosterparkbuurt has to offer. The beautiful Oosterpark itself is just a short distance away, providing a perfect green space for relaxation, walks, or picnics. The famous Amstel river is also nearby, offering scenic routes for jogging or walking. Along the Weesperzijde, you will find a variety of popular terraces and coffee shops, such as De Ysbreeker and Hesp. For daily groceries, multiple supermarkets are within easy walking distance, while the famous Dappermarkt and Albert Cuypmarkt are just a short bike ride away, perfect for finding fresh produce and unique local products.
Culture and entertainment are also well represented in the area. Renowned institutions like the Tropenmuseum and the H'Art Museum are in close proximity. The neighborhood is dotted with vibrant squares and a diverse selection of restaurants and cafes, including known spots like Bar Bukowski and Bam Boa. The accessibility of this location is excellent. Amsterdam's city center is easily reachable within a few minutes by bicycle. Public transport links are outstanding, with several tram and bus stops nearby, and the Wibautstraat and Weesperplein metro stations offering quick connections to the rest of the city. For those who need to travel further afield, the Amstel, Muiderpoort, and Amsterdam Centraal train stations are highly accessible. By car, the Ring A10 motorway can be reached quickly via the Wibautstraat. Parking is available in the area through a municipal permit system for the Oost one a zone.
The property sits on land that is subject to a perpetual ground lease from the municipality, which has been fully bought off under the general conditions of two thousand and sixteen. This means that the ground lease is paid off forever, removing future financial burdens related to the lease. The building itself was originally constructed in nineteen twelve and underwent a comprehensive and high quality renovation in twenty thirteen, ensuring that all technical and structural aspects meet modern standards. The home features a favorable energy label C, partly due to the presence of double glazing throughout. Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha gas fired combination boiler that was installed in twenty thirteen and is the property of the homeowner association. Additional features include a Velux skylight and a light dome above the staircase, mechanical ventilation, and a high quality oak wooden floor that spans the living areas.
The Homeowners Association, known as the Vereniging van Eigenaren, is a small scale, active, and healthy entity consisting of only four members. The association has recently updated its multi year maintenance plan, ensuring the long term upkeep of the building. A reserve fund with a balance of approximately seven thousand three hundred euros is in place. The monthly service charges are set at two hundred and twenty euros, which covers the building insurance, maintenance of the common areas, and contributions to the reserve fund. This property is a rare find, combining spacious, thoughtfully designed interiors with exceptional outdoor living spaces in one of Amsterdam's most dynamic and historic neighborhoods. It presents an ideal opportunity for anyone seeking a high quality, ready to occupy home in the heart of the city.
