Situated on freehold land, with no ground lease obligations, and upgraded to an A energy label, this property is an ideal choice for first-time buyers entering the Amsterdam housing market. Its location at the rear of the building, adjacent to a peaceful inner courtyard, ensures a tranquil setting with optimal privacy.

Recently, the apartment underwent a complete renovation and has been equipped with modern amenities, including HR++ double glazing, underfloor heating, and an energy-efficient HR combi boiler. Thanks to the foundation repair in 2016 and the high-quality finish, the property is in excellent condition and ready for the future. The bright living room creates an open and comfortable atmosphere, while the separate bedroom offers a serene and private space. The south-facing balcony of 6 m² is a real bonus, allowing you to enjoy the sun for most of the day – perfect for relaxing or hosting friends.

The famous Albert Cuyp Market is within walking distance, and with the De Pijp metro station on the North/South line nearby, accessibility is excellent. This property combines the convenience of city life with the comfort of a sustainable and move-in-ready home.

Renovation:
During the renovation, the apartment was completely stripped and reconfigured, with a strong focus on sustainability. Insulated partition walls, an insulated anhydrite/fermacell floor with underfloor heating, an insulated ceiling, and HR++ glazing were all installed. These upgrades have resulted in an energy-efficient A label for the property, originally built in 1902.
All electrical wiring, water pipes, and drainage systems were replaced, and a modern, extensive electrical panel was installed. Ventilation was optimized with an Itho Daalderop mechanical ventilation system, and the home features climate control. The finish includes high-quality materials such as Gira switches, built-in LED lighting, recessed wall lighting, and a durable herringbone laminate floor. In summary, this property combines the modern amenities and energy efficiency of 2024 with the charm of a building from 1902.

Layout:
The covered portico on the raised ground floor provides access to a well-maintained, recently renovated staircase. On the third floor, a spacious and tidy landing leads to the apartment, which is quietly located at the rear of the building.
The apartment's entrance opens to a small hallway leading to the bright living room. Off the hallway, there is a separate toilet with a washbasin. The modern open kitchen features an island with a breakfast bar and a kitchen unit equipped with premium-brand appliances, including a wine cooler, combination oven, induction hob with integrated extractor, dishwasher, and Quooker. The warm sand tones of the kitchen complement the herringbone floor, creating a stylish and cohesive look. Thanks to its southern orientation, the living room is particularly bright, enhancing the sense of space. From the living room, you have access to the south-facing balcony, perfect for enjoying the sun most of the day.
A significant advantage of this apartment is the separate bedroom, which is large enough to accommodate a king-size bed. The built-in wardrobe will remain, as will the stylish recessed wall lighting.
The bathroom is efficiently laid out and features a tiled walk-in shower, a double vanity unit, and a heated mirror with backlight. There is also a storage closet in the apartment housing the 2024 HR combi boiler, the underfloor heating distribution unit, and connections for a washer and dryer. The modern electrical panel, located in the hallway, includes 9 circuits and 3 residual current devices.
