Description
Offered for sale in Amsterdam South (De Pijp):
Generously sized and excellently maintained 1-bedroom apartment of approx. 58 m², quietly situated on the third floor just a stone’s throw from Sarphatipark. With an inviting living room featuring a fireplace and French balcony, a spacious bedroom with adjoining balcony at the green rear side, and a well-considered possibility to create a second bedroom, this property combines character and comfort in one of the city’s most sought-after locations.
The apartment forms part of an attractive and well-maintained building that was fully renovated in 2004, including a new foundation. The property is situated on freehold land and is in excellent condition, both internally and externally. Bright, tall windows, a beautiful wooden floor and various bespoke built-in cupboards in the living room, bedroom and bathroom give the apartment a warm and well-kept appearance.
A particularly notable feature is the flexible layout. By relocating the bathroom to the current workspace near the kitchen – where the required connections are already present – a fully-fledged second bedroom can be created without any structural alterations. The measurement report includes an alternative floor plan for indicative purposes. This allows the property to be easily converted from a spacious and comfortable 1-bedroom apartment into a practical 2-bedroom apartment.
SURROUNDINGS:
Van Ostadestraat is located in the vibrant heart of De Pijp, one of Amsterdam’s most popular and lively neighbourhoods. The area is known for its narrow streets lined with characteristic 19th-century buildings, countless traditional cafés, international restaurants and modern coffee bars. Around the corner you will find the famous Albert Cuyp Market, the daily market and beating heart of the neighbourhood, while directly behind the property lies Sarphatipark – an atmospheric city park laid out in English landscape style and the green oasis of De Pijp.
For daily groceries, there are various supermarkets, specialty shops and delicatessens within walking distance. Culinary options are also abundant: the many cafés and restaurants around Marie Heinekenplein, Gerard Douplein and Frans Halsstraat are among the most popular in the city. For relaxation and greenery, in addition to Sarphatipark, both the Amstel river and Oosterpark are also within easy reach.
Accessibility is excellent. De Pijp metro station (North/South Line, opened in 2018) takes you to the city centre, the Zuidas business district and Amsterdam Central Station within minutes, while tram lines 3, 4, 12 and 24 run through the neighbourhood. By car, the Ceintuurbaan and Amsteldijk provide quick access to the A10 ring road and onward towards Schiphol Airport.
LAYOUT:
The well-kept and attractively carpeted communal staircase leads to the entrance of the apartment on the third floor. From the central hallway, which connects to the living room and provides access to all rooms, you immediately experience the pleasant atmosphere and natural light.
The living area is situated at the front and has been smartly divided. On the street side is the generous seating area with a cosy fireplace and access to the sunny French balcony (orientation: southeast) – a lovely spot for the morning and afternoon sun. The adjoining dining area features beautiful built-in bookcases that add plenty of atmosphere and character. In the centre of the apartment is the semi-open kitchen, fitted with various Siemens built-in appliances, a gas hob and ample storage and worktop space, with an adjoining practical setup for a home workspace.
This workspace, in particular, is highly suitable as the future location for the bathroom: the connections are already located here behind a false wall. This means the current bathroom can easily be converted into a fully-fledged second bedroom – entirely without structural interventions (see the alternative floor plan in the measurement report).
At the quiet, green rear side are the spacious bedroom and bathroom. The bedroom offers plenty of space and direct access to the balcony, which, with pleasant views of greenery and the afternoon sun, forms a lovely outdoor area. The neat bathroom is fitted with a bathtub with shower, a washbasin and a wall-mounted toilet. An internal storage cupboard with connections for the washing machine and the central heating system completes the apartment.
