SURROUNDINGS:
Minervaplein is located in the heart of the beloved Apollobuurt, an area known for its wide avenues, green squares and stylish architecture. On and around the square you will find high-quality amenities such as boutiques, delicatessens and excellent restaurants along Beethovenstraat and Cornelis Schuytstraat. Sports clubs, schools and medical practices are close by, as are several parks including Vondelpark, Beatrixpark and the Amsterdamse Bos. The neighbourhood offers a calm, refined living environment with everyday conveniences within walking distance.
In terms of accessibility, Minervaplein 5 is ideally situated. Station Zuid and the Zuidas business district are only a few minutes away by bike, with direct connections to Schiphol Airport, Rotterdam and other cities. Trams, buses and the North/South metro line provide excellent public transport links, while by car the A10 ring road can be reached within minutes. This location truly combines the best of both worlds: peaceful, green living with the amenities, recreation and vibrancy of Amsterdam close at hand.
LAYOUT:
Via the stately and spacious main entrance of the building, you reach the apartment entrance on the fifth floor by elevator. The wide central hallway provides access to nearly all rooms and continues through double doors at the end into the living room.
The bathroom and primary bedroom are directly connected and both are generously sized. A simple adjustment would allow access to the bathroom from the hallway. In addition to ample space for wardrobes and a large bed, the bedroom is also equipped with a connection for air conditioning.
The living room is located at the end of the hallway and adjoins the kitchen, which can be accessed both from the hall and through double doors from the living room. This kitchen could also serve as a second bedroom if the kitchen is relocated to the living room—there is more than enough space to do so. The living room has windows on both sides, an internal staircase to the sixth-floor space, and is fitted with an air-conditioning system.
On the sixth floor there is a pleasant additional room, ideal for use as a home office, for example. This room also provides access to the sunny west-facing terrace.
Also on the main living level you will find a separate toilet and a convenient internal storage room. In the building’s basement level (accessible by elevator), the apartment has an exceptionally large private storage unit of no less than 28 m².
