Description
YES! Mezenstraat 20. Discover this well-maintained and bright 1930s apartment of approximately 85 m2. Be surprised by the space: private entrance, entire first and second floor, a large storage attic on the third floor and a sunny south-facing balcony. Here you will find the best of both worlds: the green and trendy Amsterdam North with Amsterdam’s city center just a stone's throw away.
You will find the Mezenstraat in the central Vogelbuurt with all amenities nearby and supermarkets around the corner. The adjacent banks of the river IJ are developing rapidly with surprising new hotspots, trendy restaurants and café’s. From the front door you can walk to the North/South metro station Noorderpark in 5 minutes, just one stop away from Amsterdam Central Station. And within only 6 minutes by bike you are at the Buiksloterweg ferry, which also takes you to Central Station in no time.

- The municipality’s leasehold (erfpacht) has been PAID OFF IN FULL FOR PERPETUITY.
- Brand new window frames (2023) made of hardwood with HR++ glass. Gutters and roof pipes were also replaced in 2023 and all exterior painting has been done.
