Very spacious two-storey apartment, with a floor surface area of almost 100m² and a lovely roof terrace, some 5m² in area.
The apartment has a good practical layout, including a sizeable living room with a semi-open kitchen on the third floor. On the fourth floor are two generously-sized bedrooms (with an option for a third), the bathroom, and the roof terrace.
The property forms part of a well-managed owners’ association, has Energy Label C, and the ground rent for the current period (which runs until 2058) has been paid (the ‘favourable conditions’ application was submitted on time).
LAYOUT
Shared smart entrance, leading to the first floor and the access door to the apartment.
Entry into the large and notably bright living room (with light entering at both ends), which has an open connection to the dining area and the kitchen at the rear. The kitchen is equipped with a gas cooker with an oven, an extractor hood, a dishwasher, a fridge-freezer, and has lots of cupboard space. There is also a toilet and sink on this floor.
Stairs from the living room lead up to the third floor, at the front of which is the sizeable master bedroom with a large fitted wardrobe. To the rear is the second good-sized bedroom. The configuration of both bedrooms can be altered in order to create a third bedroom. The roof terrace is accessible from the bedroom and is about 5m² in area - a fabulous spot to sit and relax in privacy, while taking in the morning and afternoon sun. The bathroom is situated in the central part of the apartment and comes with a bath, a sink, and a toilet. Finally, there is a useful storage cupboard, which also has room for a washer-dryer.
LOCATION
Pleasant location on quiet Swammerdamstraat, just around the corner from all the attractions the city has to offer. For your day-to-day shopping needs, lively Eerste Oosterparkstraat, Ceintuurbaan, and Van Woustraat, as well as the Albert Cuypmarkt (market), are all just a short distance away.
The nearby River Amstel offers plenty of opportunities for some great walks, with numerous delightful areas that are the perfect place to relax; the Oosterpark is similarly a lovely place to stroll. Almost every part of the city is within easy reach by bike - the centre, De Pijp, and the many shops in Oost. The hospitality sector is well represented locally too, including De IJsbreker, Rijsel, Loetje Oost (which is literally next door), and others.
There are excellent links to public transport and the road network. The apartment is just a few minutes’ walk from the important Weesperplein junction, with its range of tram and metro routes that take you towards Amsterdam Central and Amsterdam Amstel railway stations, as well as to many other parts of the city. If you’re travelling by car, Wibautstraat runs directly towards the A10 Ring Road (junction S112). You can park your car on the street in front of the apartment building (parking permit required). Your parking permit also grants you access to the two Q-Park car parks that belong to the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences, just around the corner.
In short, this is an excellent peaceful residential location, but with all the amenities you need within easy reach.
