Layout This thoroughly renovated (2006) apartment with energy label C includes double glazing, mechanical ventilation, underfloor heating in the bathroom, and insulation. The apartment spans approximately 110 m², consisting of a beautiful living room with a bay window that flows into the dining area with an open kitchen, 2 well-sized bedrooms with built-in wardrobes, a spacious bathroom, and it offers views of and access to the fantastic garden with a large garden house of approximately 14 m². Everything inside is on one level, enhancing the sense of space. The spacious rooms are connected via the large hall, and the hardwood floor runs seamlessly through all areas. Both bedrooms are light and spacious, featuring built-in wardrobes. The tiled bathroom has underfloor heating, providing cozy comfort in the winter. The renovation was carried out under the direction of a designer from the Rietveld Academy, who was inspired by natural materials, depth, and spaciousness. This is evident in features such as the "sightlines" found in the bathroom and in the hall where windows provide visibility and light between the hall and the kitchen. Finally, the built-in bookcase in the living room was designed around the concept of openness. The apartment boasts high ceilings and a very generous living room with a beautiful bay window that allows natural light to flood in. The floor is made of Sucupira hardwood, as are the high doors that adorn the rooms from the hall. The built-in wardrobes in the bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom are also finished with Sucupira wood. The bathroom is equipped with Vola faucets, and the shower has light gray/green hardstone tiles that offer a beautiful contrast to the wood/plaster design of the bathroom. In the open kitchen, a robust designer faucet adorns the spacious sink, and a stunning Belgian bluestone countertop completes the look. The garden house is used for guests, as a hobby space, and for storage with its spacious mezzanine and cabinets. The garden features hardwood terraces combined with Belgian bluestone tiles, which also cover the floor of the garden house. The garden has two outdoor taps, one under the kitchen window with both hot and cold water, and one near the garden house with cold water. A sprinkler system is installed in the middle of the lawn, which can be connected to the outdoor tap. Additionally, there are electrical outlets at two points in the garden. The garden offers plenty of privacy and sunlight throughout the day. The original clawfoot tub from 1920 adds a unique historical touch to the garden experience. The tranquility of the garden on a summer day is delightful, lying in the outdoor bath with views of all the blooming colors, right in the heart of Amsterdam. This garden, approximately 16 meters deep and 10 meters wide, offers a lot of privacy due to the distance to the rear neighbors (32 meters of garden in between), mature trees, and blooming shrubs that line the borders. In the morning, enjoy a cup of coffee on the terrace by the house in the sun, relax on a sunbed in the back of the garden later in the day, and dine on the terrace in the warm evening sun. The garden is large enough for multiple seating areas, both in the sun and shade. Location The apartment is surrounded by monumental buildings with characteristic 1930s architecture.
