Charming three-room apartment of 57 m² (gross floor area 74 m²) in a prime location in vibrant Amsterdam East, just around the corner from Oosterpark and with views of the Tropenmuseum.

With its playful layout, partly high ceilings, and split levels, the apartment offers a bright living room with open kitchen, two bedrooms, and large windows providing abundant natural light and pleasant views towards the Singelgracht. Original beams in the roof structure, elegant black doors, and a beautiful wooden floor give the apartment a particularly charming character.
