LAYOUT
The complex features an intercom system, a spacious entrance hall with elevator, and a shared bicycle storage area. From the hall, you can access the communal inner garden, peacefully located by the water and blessed with lovely morning sun. The apartment is situated on the second floor.
The open hallway accommodates a compact wardrobe and flows seamlessly into the living area, which is divided into a sitting room on one side and a cozy dining kitchen on the other. While the two areas are connected, a partial dividing wall creates the feeling of two separate rooms.
The kitchen features white cabinets and drawers, complemented by a dark countertop. It includes built-in Smeg appliances (partially compact size), with the washing machine connection and central heating unit neatly tucked away.
The living area boasts large windows with folding glass doors ("harmonica doors"), providing excellent natural light. A standout feature is the lounge space by the window, which gives a sunroom-like feel thanks to the folding doors.
A large frosted glass sliding door leads to the bedroom, which fits a double bed and includes ample storage space with custom-built cabinetry. The adjacent bathroom features dark floor and wall tiles, a walk-in rain and handheld shower, a wooden vanity with oval sink, a modern mirror with lighting and anti-fog heating, underfloor heating, and a wall-hung toilet.
The basement includes an additional shared bicycle storage area and access to the communal garden.
LOCATION & ACCESSIBILITY
The apartment is centrally located, near Haarlemmerplein, which flows into several of Amsterdam’s most lively neighborhoods. Haarlemmerdijk is a particularly trendy street with many boutique stores, cool clothing shops, and hip cafés—also home to the charming art-house cinema The Movies. The street connects to the well-known Nieuwendijk, one of Amsterdam’s main shopping streets (along with Kalverstraat).
On the other side, it borders the popular Jordaan area, known for its unique boutiques, galleries, cozy markets, and abundance of restaurants and cafés.
The Westerpark, often referred to as the “Vondelpark of West Amsterdam,” is within walking distance.
Amsterdam Central Station is just around the corner, and public transportation is practically on your doorstep. Major roads are easily accessible from this location.
PARKING
Paid street parking is available, and a permit system is in place. According to the City of Amsterdam website (as of June 5, 2025), there is a waiting list for a parking permit in permit area Centrum-2a.
