Tweede Helmersstraat 79-H1054 CE AmsterdamHelmersbuurt-Oost

We are pleased to present this strikingly spacious and charming two-storey apartment (ground and first floors) with an attractive south-facing garden. It has a floor surface area of 140m2 and is situated in the most attractive part of the Oud West district. This building is exceptionally wide - more than 6.5 metres! The apartment has three bedrooms on the first floor. LAYOUT Entrance, porch, hall (with the cupboard containing the energy meters on the right), stairs to the first floor, a toilet, and access to the basement. To the left, a pair of French doors open into the large living room (46m2), with the elevated open kitchen at the rear. The former two-room configuration is still visible from the beautifully decorative stucco on the ceilings and on the ornamentation in the central part of the room. The original mantelpiece at the front of the room is home to an open-hearth fireplace. At the rear, you pass through French windows into the attractively designed south-facing garden, with a surface area of some 30m2. Beneath the kitchen is a basement, with running water and plenty of storage space. Connections for a washing machine and dryer are also located here. The stairs lead you to the first floor. At the rear to the right is the bathroom with a window, and to the left, two bedrooms separated by adjoining doors. One of these rooms has a south-facing balcony, and the other a French balcony at the front. To the right at the front is another smaller bedroom; this could also serve as an office. An interesting feature of the property is the abundance of attractive historic detail, including the original sliding doors on the first floor, beautifully decorative ceilings, and authentic mantelpieces. The bathroom has a delightful corner bath, a separate rain shower, and a two-sink vanity unit. The house has its own entrance at street level. Oak plank flooring adorns both storeys in the apartment, which has recently been re-decorated. The half-open kitchen comes with various appliances, including an American fridge, an oven, and a microwave, and has more than enough cupboard space. The building’s façade has been cleaned this year and the window frames painted; the floor on the ground floor was renovated three years ago and the crawl space fitted with ISO chips. LOCATION A striking feature of the Helmersbuurt neighbourhood is its position in or at the very edges of Centrum, Oud Zuid, and Oud West, and it offers the best of each of them - Leidseplein, the Jordaan, and Vondelpark are all within walking distance, and there are plenty of lively bars just around the corner. And even though the property is in such a popular area, its immediate surroundings are pleasingly peaceful and safe. The architecture in this area is a little more opulent and spacious than in most of the streets of Oud West. In short, this area of the city successfully combines the allure of Oud Zuid and the friendly ambience of Oud West, almost within touching distance of Centrum!
