LAYOUT
Via the well-maintained staircase, shared only with the upstairs neighbours, you reach the first floor, where the entrance to the apartment is located.
Upon entering, you step into the generously proportioned, sun-filled living room with an open-plan kitchen. Thanks to the five large windows overlooking Kanaal- and Staringstraat, the living area is flooded with natural light throughout the day, while offering beautiful views of mature trees (plenty of privacy!) and the charming historic surrounding buildings.
The kitchen was completely renovated in 2025 and has been architecturally designed with a practical layout. It is equipped with all essential built-in appliances, including a refrigerator,separate freezer, induction cooktop with integrated recirculation extractor, and dishwasher (Bosch Fridge/Freezer and Electrolux dishwasher, oven and hob).
The bathroom is finished in elegant black tiles and features a walk-in shower, washbasin and floating toilet.
A spiral staircase in the living room leads to the second floor, which currently comprises two bedrooms. The principal bedroom is exceptionally spacious, easily accommodating a king-size bed while still offering room for a comfortable home office area. This generous open space can be divided with relatively minor alterations, allowing the creation of an additional (bed)room if desired.
This floor is equally bright, thanks to its many windows and French doors opening onto a charming French balcony.
The second bedroom is currently used as a nursery but is equally suitable as a guest room, office or hobby room.
On this floor, within the communal staircase, there is a private storage room of approximately 2 m² housing the washing machine connection and the central heating boiler, which was also replaced in 2025. The space also provides convenient additional storage.
The apartment is beautifully finished throughout, with solid wooden flooring on both levels, except in the kitchen and bathroom. All windows are fitted with double glazing, and the electrical installation has been modernised and expanded to accommodate the induction cooktop.
The apartment forms part of a small Homeowners' Association (VvE) consisting of just three members. The administration is meticulously maintained internally, and the monthly service charges amount to €150. An up-to-date Long-Term Maintenance Plan (MJOP) is in place, and the association has healthy financial reserves.
As the icing on the cake, the property is situated on freehold land, meaning there is no ground lease to worry about.
In short: a wonderfully bright corner apartment with a practical, playful and flexible layout. Combine that with the neat finish, the brand-new kitchen and Cv-boiler, and you have an exceptional home in one of Amsterdam's most desirable neighbourhoods. Could this be your new home?
