Unique, light, tasteful, and creative are the keywords that best describe this high-quality renovated duplex apartment. The property has a living area (according to NEN2580 standards) of 113m². However, the staircase from the third to the fourth floor, as well as the landings on the third and fourth floors and the storage room on the fourth floor, are part of the ownership of this property. Therefore, the total surface area is 126m². The building is located in the vibrant Helmersbuurt, on private land, and has a new foundation. A beautiful combination of high-quality, modern materials has been used, while the authentic style elements have been preserved, all under architectural design. A striking feature is the ceiling-high wooden wall panel on the living floor, which spans the entire length and integrates both the kitchen, TV unit, and fireplace. The entire apartment has a light and serene atmosphere. Additionally, the property is equipped with wooden window frames with insulating glazing, designer built-in lighting, and built-in speakers. The generous roof terrace of 41m² completes this upper house.
Noteworthy is that the apartment can be significantly expanded (according to NEN2580 standards) by incorporating the staircase, the two landings, and the storage room into the living area. See the alternative floor plans for details.
The VvE ("Kanaalstraat 37 in Amsterdam") consists of 4 apartments. The administration is managed in-house. The service costs are €217.85 per month, and a multi-year maintenance plan has been established.
LAYOUT
Through the central staircase, you reach the entrance on the third floor. A small hall, equipped with a separate toilet, leads directly into the spacious living floor. This floor is divided into a sitting area at the rear and a spacious open kitchen at the front. The wooden wall panel across the full length connects the front and back areas. French doors open onto the adjacent deep balcony of 8m², which extends the living area.
The kitchen is located at the front and features an unusually wide work island with an adjacent lowered dining area. The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances, neatly concealed in handleless cabinets and drawers. At the very front, there is space for a small seating area. There are also ceiling-high built-in cabinets. French doors open onto the French balcony overlooking the street.
From the hall, a grey staircase leads to the upper sleeping floor. The landing provides access to all rooms. At the rear are two bedrooms, each with an industrial built-in closet and access to the second 8m² balcony through a high window. The master bedroom is located at the front. It is spacious enough to accommodate a double bed and several wardrobes. Notable is the custom-designed lounge area with storage drawers underneath and the original wooden hoisting beam above the window. From this bedroom, a white wooden staircase leads to the attic room and roof terrace. The attic room provides space for a good work area and has a sliding door leading to the sunny roof terrace of no less than 41m². This sheltered roof terrace offers exceptional privacy due to its elevated position and, with its large surface area, offers ample space for both a lounge corner and a dining/bbq area. Finally, the roof terrace is fully finished with (maintenance-free) bamboo decking and is equipped with water and electricity connections.
The bathroom is also on the sleeping floor and is entirely finished in grey (concrete ciré). The bathroom features a walk-in shower, a floating toilet, and a wooden vanity with a beautiful wash basin.
From the third floor, a second staircase leads to the storage room on the fourth floor. This storage space can easily be converted into a bedroom or office.
The entire apartment is equipped with wooden window frames and double glazing. The living floor has a white wooden floor, while the sleeping floor has light grey laminate flooring.

NEN CLAUSE
The usable surface area is calculated in accordance with the NEN 2580 standard determined by the industry. The surface area may therefore deviate from similar buildings and/or old references. This is mainly due to this (new) calculation method. The purchaser states to be sufficiently informed about the aforementioned standard. The vendor and the broker of the vendor do their very best to calculate the correct surface area and content on the basis of own measurements and to support this as much as possible by posting maps with dimensions. However, if the dimensions happen not to have been (completely) determined in accordance with the standard, then this is accepted by the purchaser. The purchaser has been sufficiently given the opportunity to check the dimensions. Differences in the indicated measurement and size do not provide any right to the parties, also do not the adjust the purchase price. The vendor and the broker of the vendor do not accept any liability in this matter.
