This splendid double downstairs apartment of approx 130m2 plus a garden of 13 metres long and a surface area of over 80m2 is centrally located in a beautiful and quiet part of Amsterdam-West! The property sits on freehold land in the De Baarsjes neighbourhood, around the corner of the Rembrandtpark and the river De Schinkel. All windows are double-glazed and the apartment comes with five solar panels. The ground floor plus the first floor comprise one apartment right, but the first floor can also be accessed separately via the communal stairwell. This offers great options for dividing the apartment right into two, renting out rooms, creating a home office, or – of course – turning the property into a wonderful family home with four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and three toilets.

Layout

Ground floor:
Private entrance leading to the hallway with a built-in closet, a toilet with a washstand, and the meter cupboard. Access to the kitchen and the adjacent living room. The open-plan kitchen includes a dishwasher, a fridge, a freezer, a 5-burner gas cooker with a large oven, an extractor hood, and a beautiful natural stone worktop. The ceilings are 2.95m high and the ground floor area still features the gorgeous original marble mantelpiece, a stained-glass door, and solid hardwood flooring. The front part of the living area is currently used as a study but can easily be added to the living room. Three French doors at the back lead to the garden – beautifully landscaped with lots of flowering and mature plants. The garden faces north and is a stunning 13 metres long. As it is not directly closed in by other houses, you can always find a quiet and private spot to enjoy the sun. The garden shed of 9m2 has electricity and the garden itself also includes outdoor electricity connections and a tap.

1st floor:
The spiral staircase goes up to a door in a double-glazed construction and the upstairs landing with access to the bedrooms. Two bedrooms are at the back and have doors to the generously sized balcony. One of these bedrooms includes a large built-in closet and comes with an en-suite bathroom featuring a bath and a double washbasin unit. Outside on the balcony, you will find two additional and practical outdoor closets. Back on the landing, other doors lead to the separate toilet with a washstand, a box room with the white goods connections, and a shower room with a washbasin. At the front of the house is a self-contained studio with its own internet connection and independently operated heating. The studio offers a living area, a kitchen with an induction hob and a hood, a fridge, a washing machine, and a built-in microwave. Off the living area is a private bathroom with a shower, a lavatory, and a washbasin. This studio can be accessed privately via the communal stairwell and is closed off from the rest of the house with an insulating and fireproof interior door. Incorporating this part of the house with the rest of the first floor will be easy and offers a great option to create a 4-bedroom house with 2 fully equipped bathrooms.

Surrounding area:
The house is located in the De Baarsjes neighbourhood, in the so-called “West-Indische Buurt”, which is a wonderfully quiet area. The central location will have you living within walking distance of the Vondelpark (6 minutes) and the Rembrandtpark (4 minutes). Other popular areas, such as the Leidseplein and De Pijp, are 10 minutes’ cycling. The area boasts a huge range of shops, cafés and restaurants, schools, and sports facilities. You can get your daily groceries on the Postjesweg, Amstelveenseweg, Jan Pieter Heijestraat, Kinkerstraat, or Overtoom. The nearby Ten Kate market is a great spot to buy fresh products from all over the world. If you fancy going out for a coffee, lunch, drinks, or dinner, we can certainly recommend Goldmund, Daalder, Kosta, Spaghetteria, or Stach. The nearby BasicFit or David Lloyd gyms are great options for regular workouts. Also within walking distance are cultural centres such as Het Sieraad (the home of, e.g., Toneelhuis Amsterdam, galleries, a café and a restaurant) and De Hallen (with a library, a theatre, cinemas, a food court, a TV studio, and an arts and crafts centre).

Families will be happy to find multiple primary schools, nurseries and out-of-school facilities, and playgrounds within walking distance.

Public transport connections are excellent and include trams 1, 7 and 17 and buses 18, 18 and 247. Railway station Lelylaan is 5 minutes cycling and the nearby S106 and S107 arterial roads offer fast access to the A10 Ring. The area offers ample on-street parking and, according to the Amsterdam municipal website, there is no waiting list for parking permits.
