Charming Upper-Floor Apartment with Spacious Roof Terrace in De Pijp
Key Features
Description
This attractive upper-floor apartment is situated on Van Ostadestraat in the Cornelis Troostbuurt area of Amsterdam, specifically within the highly sought-after De Pijp neighborhood. The property occupies the third residential level and is spread across two living floors, providing a total living area of 125 square meters. The apartment is located on freehold land, meaning there is no leasehold to consider, which is a significant advantage in the Amsterdam property market.
Access to the apartment is gained through a communal staircase that leads to the first residential level of the property. Upon entering, residents are welcomed into a spacious and open living area that immediately conveys a sense of warmth and character. The living room is positioned at the front of the property and benefits from large windows that allow abundant natural light to fill the space. French doors open onto a charming French balcony, adding to the appeal of this reception room. The ceiling features ornamental details, and a stylish fireplace serves as a focal point, both elements contributing to the characterful atmosphere that defines this home.
At the rear of the property, the dining area provides ample space for a large dining table, making it well suited for entertaining guests or accommodating family meals. The open kitchen connects seamlessly with this dining space and offers generous workspace along with a freestanding gas stove with a robust appearance and plenty of storage options. French doors from the dining area lead directly to a south-facing balcony, where residents can enjoy sunlight throughout the day. The direct connection between the interior dining space and the exterior balcony creates an extended living feel that enhances the overall living experience. A separate toilet is conveniently located on this floor and is neatly finished.
A characteristic staircase positioned in the center of the living space leads to the upper residential level. Here, one arrives at a spacious and bright landing that features a skylight providing pleasant natural daylight. A practical and modern built-in wardrobe on this landing offers ample storage space. Notably, this generous central area could relatively easily be converted into a third bedroom if desired, adding flexibility to the layout.
The upper level contains two large bedrooms, positioned at both the front and rear of the property. The front bedroom features subtly integrated shelving within the wall, creating a sleek and functional design. Additionally, there is a separate laundry room on this floor with sufficient space for both a washing machine and dryer, along with extra storage capacity.
The bathroom is located adjacent to the staircase that leads to the roof terrace and is well maintained with modern finishes. It is equipped with a bathtub, a rain shower, and a long double vanity unit, providing a comfortable and luxurious bathing experience.
The roof terrace is accessed via a fixed staircase and a roof extension. This outdoor space measures over 32 square meters and offers a wonderful setting for enjoying the sun throughout the day. The terrace provides ample room for a comfortable lounge set and is well suited for relaxation or socializing with friends and family.
The property is located in the heart of De Pijp, one of Amsterdam's most popular and vibrant neighborhoods. Van Ostadestraat itself is described as a quiet street, yet the lively atmosphere of the area is immediately accessible around the corner. Within walking distance, residents can reach the famous Albert Cuyp Market, a wide variety of cafes, restaurants, and coffee spots, as well as shops for daily grocery needs. Sarphatipark is also nearby, offering a pleasant green space for relaxation and recreation.
Accessibility is excellent by various means of transport. The city center can be reached within minutes by bicycle, and with nearby stops for the North/South metro line as well as various tram and bus connections, the rest of the city is easily accessible. Parking in the area is available through paid parking and parking permit systems.
