Description

UNIQUE CHANCE for individuals, investors and developers: a very undivided upper house (apartment right) of four spacious floors (total 239 m² living space) being one house and with a roof terrace in Amsterdam South. This cozy upper house in the popular district of De Pijp is located on private land, is completely rent-free and can be moved in immediately.

The apartment is versatile: you can live in it in various configurations, you can live with your children living in it, you can have students living in it, and you can investigate whether you can live with more people; in short, opportunities abound.

It can also be an interesting investment property: when subdivided into (several) upper houses, the liberalization limit for the free sector rent will be reached. Conversion to studios, apartments or upper houses is also an interesting possibility. For all of the above options, we recommend checking with the municipality to see what possibilities and permits are available. An additional possibility for a development is the fact that the retail space on the first floor with garden is also for sale so that the entire property can be acquired (see Albert Cuypstraat 258 hs)

General
The house has been lovingly renovated and restored over the past 20 years, retaining as many original features as possible, such as the fireplaces and window sills. As it nears completion, the owners have decided to move to their next challenge in the countryside. They have enjoyed living there: “We love this house and leave it with a pain in our hearts.The neighborhood is lovely, and living by the market is surprisingly quiet.No traffic noise or ringing streetcars.We do have the opportunity to buy fresh food every day, and to enjoy the many terraces in De Pijp, with the center within walking distance.
At the front Amsterdam buzzes, at the back you imagine yourself in the forest, with a courtyard full of big green trees and singing birds. And in the summer there is nothing better than lounging with a white wine on the lovely roof terrace overlooking Amsterdam.”

Surroundings
The house is located in the vibrant De Pijp neighborhood, with its mix of hip terraces, cafes, restaurants, street food stalls, stores and concept stores.It is located on the quiet part of the market, near the Van Woustraat. Within walking distance from the Ferdinand Bolstraat, the Utrechtsestraat, the Rembrandtplein and the Amstel.At 3 minutes walk you will find several supermarkets.The Sarphatipark is nearby, where you can picnic in the summer, jog or work on your fitness at the work-out area.Dog owners can meet at the special dog meadow, and children can have fun at the playground.

A 1-minute walk away is a streetcar stop, and 10 minutes away is a station on the North-South line, which leads to train stations CS or Zuid.This puts the whole of the Netherlands within easy reach.
By car, you have a quick connection to the A10 ring road. Permit holders can park their car in the nearby underground parking garage 'Albert Cuyp'. If you don't have a car, don't worry: the neighborhood is full of convenient shared cars.

Entrance
As you approach the property you see it immediately: this is one of the few properties with the beautiful original facade still in place. The green and white details of the ornate woodwork stand out, and the beautiful old front door makes your heart jump. You then enter a hall on the first floor, which leads you up a staircase.

First floor
The second floor was extensively renovated in 2015. The spacious kitchen diner is placed on the bright front with three wide windows, and the bedroom on the quiet rear. The kitchen features a custom stainless steel countertop with hospitality sink. Two built-in refrigerators, built-in oven, dishwasher, Zanussi gas stove with 5 burners, including wok burner. In the kitchen, the original ceiling trim has been redone. The carefully chosen colors (paint from quality store De Ru) make the kitchen a cozy space to meet and eat.

Through a convenient walk-in closet you enter the bedroom, completely plastered with clay stucco, good for the climate in the bedroom. The bedroom is insulated, so very quiet and constant temperature for wonderful sleep. Attached to the bedroom is the extraordinary bathroom, which cost as much as a small passenger car.The bathroom is entirely plastered with Oriental tadelakt: a waterproof plaster also used in hammams, polished by hand and a semi-precious stone.The result is silky smooth: this is a bathroom that asks to be caressed! In addition, beautiful handmade Moroccan zellige tiles, a double artisan zellige sink, and faucets from the solid Kludi brand. The pipes to the oversized towel rack run through the floor, which can thus get nice and warm.The pebbles provide a nice foot massage.In addition, the floor has a large built-in closet and a very spacious toilet.The floor has French doors to the balcony.

With a few minor interventions, the walk-in closet can be converted into a bedroom, and the bedroom into a living room, making this floor independently habitable.

Second floor
The second and third floors were renovated in 2003.Through the cheerfully painted staircase you walk on to the second floor.This floor has the most original details: two fireplaces, beautiful ceiling ornaments and a passageway that once contained sliding doors.The whole breathes comfort and living bliss.The front room enjoys three wide windows, and is just the right size to feel comfortable.The back room is a sea of space, with which you can do whatever you like.

In the spot of the former kitchen, a study nook has been created for working from home.The connections are still there, so it can be turned back into a kitchen in a jiffy.There is a pantry that was once a shower, and can also be brought back that way.
Also here a toilet and doors to the terrace, where it is nice to drink coffee until late in the morning. Here you can also regularly see great titmice and nuthatches hopping around in the tree.

Third floor
The third floor still has a fireplace, but it is the lightest floor. Here daylight pours through the windows. The floor is one large space, which can be used in all directions. Here the kitchen is preserved. In addition, a shower and a very spacious toilet, and another lovely balcony.

Attic
The attic is almost the same size as the other three floors.The exposed beams give extra atmosphere.A window in the front gives light, and you could make additional skylights.There is a large built-in closet in the front.The back has two bedrooms of which one is with a sink.

Roof terrace
The roof terrace is the icing on the cake.Huge, accessible with a fixed staircase from the attic.Equipped with a faucet and two outlets.Very tastefully made of hardwood, and with a privacy screen so you don't look directly out on the neighbors.The view here is magnificent!
The recipe for many long balmy summer evenings.

In short, a rare opportunity to acquire an upper level or entire property for an ideal combination of living and working and/or developing. Make an appointment to get your options confirmed.

The VVE
The VVE consists of two members: the upper house (Albert Cuypstraat 258-1) and the store (Albert Cuypstraat 258-H). The voting ratio is 50/50. The division of costs and deposit maintenance reserve is 4/5 upper house (because four floors) and 1/5 store. When the upper house is divided, the voting and deposit ratio changes (see division deed). The VVE cash includes funding for regular painting and minor repairs.
