Charming and atmospheric two-Level ground-floor apartment (88m² usable floor Area / 106m² gross floor area) with garden in the vibrant Frederik Hendrik neighborhood.
This characterful and inviting 88m² (GFA 106m²) two-level ground-floor apartment features a playful layout, charming original details, and a lovely, sheltered rear garden of approximately 35m². The property sits on freehold land (no leasehold!) in the lively Frederik Hendrik neighborhood, bordering the sought-after Jordaan district and Westerpark.
Van Oldenbarneveldtstraat is a quiet and popular street in Amsterdam-West. Thanks to its central location near the City Centre and Oud-West, this part of Westerpark is highly sought-after. The area's wide range of cultural and culinary hotspots further enhances its appeal.
The Homeowners' Association (VvE) is self-managed. Monthly service charges are €200, and a long-term maintenance plan (MJOP) is in place.
Layout
The apartment spans the ground and first floor. The bright living floor stands out due to the abundant natural light and the serene atmosphere that permeates the entire home. The thoughtful layout includes large windows, solid wood flooring, a cozy eat-in kitchen, and access to a private rear garden and terrace. There is potential to reconfigure the layout or even add an extension.
Accessed via a stone staircase, the property can be entered from both levels. On the ground floor, a spacious entrance hall offers plenty of room for a wardrobe and features a sleek white staircase leading to the upper living floor. This open-plan space includes a living room at the front and a kitchen/dining area at the rear. The sitting area features a charming mantelpiece and space for a large sofa and additional seating by the window. The living room flows seamlessly into the cozy kitchen-diner. A separate toilet is located centrally on this level. The space easily accommodates an 8-person dining table. The kitchen features matte white cabinetry with stainless steel handles and a wood-look countertop, and is mostly equipped with built-in appliances along with a freestanding Smeg fridge. From the kitchen, you step onto the cozy terrace—perfect for your morning coffee—which leads down a staircase to the garden, also accessible from the ground floor.
The west-facing, fully paved garden offers about 35m² of privacy and tranquility.
The ground floor comprises two bedrooms, a spacious hallway, and the bathroom. The larger bedroom is at the rear, facing the garden, with ample space for a double bed and a full-width, floor-to-ceiling wardrobe. The adjacent bathroom is finished with sand-colored floor and wall tiles, partially white tiled walls, a wooden vanity unit, a bathtub/shower combo, wall-mounted toilet, underfloor heating, and a towel radiator. A deep built-in closet houses the central heating system, and there is direct access to the garden.
The second bedroom is at the front and is also a good size.
The entire apartment features wooden flooring and is almost entirely fitted with double-glazed windows.
Additionally, a separate storage room of 6m² is located on the top floor and is included in the sale.
