This bright corner apartment forms the top two storeys of an elegant building in one of the prettiest streets in the Watergraafsmeer district. It has a floor surface area of 137m2 and the building, which dates from 1910, is on freehold land - a real bonus in Amsterdam. The owner will be entitled to two parking permits, obtainable immediately.
LAYOUT
A communal staircase takes you towards the entrance to the apartment on the first floor. This is followed by a private staircase to the second storey - a hall and a toilet, and the kitchen at the rear featuring a modern U-shaped unit with plenty of work surfaces, as well as a 4-burner gas hob, a Smeg oven, and various Siemens appliances. Passing through the French windows, you find yourself on the covered balcony at the rear, extending across the entire width of the building, and from which you can enjoy lovely views of Frankendael Park. The living room has a beige lacquered wooden floor. There are two more small balconies at the front, and another on the side wall, so you are sure to be always out of the wind when relaxing outside! And being on a corner, the apartment is of course very bright.
Third floor: bright and spacious landing, with a large skylight and a sizeable cupboard offering plenty of storage space. There are two bedrooms at the front. In the centre part of the floor is the bathroom, including bath, walk-in shower, sink, towel radiator, and floating toilet; here too is a skylight, allowing in plenty of natural light. To the rear of the apartment is the third and good-sized bedroom. With its practical dimensions, there is the potential to add another balcony. Elsewhere on this floor is another capacious storage area and a space for a washing machine and central heating installation.
One possible future option for the new owners is to build a roof terrace, which could be reached by extending the stairs up to the roof via the landing (see the photo of the neighbouring property). It may also be possible to fit solar panels.
LOCATION
The apartment is located on the wide section of Zacharias Jansestraat, a tree-lined street with impressive buildings in the child-friendly Watergraafsmeer district. Bustling Middenweg and the Oostpoort shopping centre are just around the corner - the latter has a broad range of retail outlets, from exclusive delicatessens and speciality shops to well-known chains, as well as various restaurants and bars. The apartment is at the edge of Frankendael Park - a lovely spot for a walk or jog in the gardens. The grounds also host the monthly Pure Market, and the ‘De Kas’ restaurant is ideal for an evening out. There are primary schools, nurseries, and various sports amenities - including a swimming pool, football and hockey pitches, tennis courts, gyms, yoga, Pilates - all within easy walking distance.
OWNERS’ ASSOCIATION
The active ‘VvE Cornelis Drebbelstraat 22/Zacharias Jansestraat 37’ owners’ association consists of three members. The service charges are €285 per month and the association is managed in-house. The window frames in the apartment have recently been renovated, as has the roof (including the roof insulation). A long-term maintenance plan is in operation. The window frames are due to be painted in the autumn.
TRANSPORT CONNECTIONS
Zacharias Jansestraat has excellent public transport links. There are a number of tram and bus routes that pass nearby, while the Amstel and Muiderpoort railway stations are also within easy reach. There are also roads leading out of the city to the A10 Ring Road and A1 motorway. You are entitled to two parking permits, which can be applied for from the Amsterdam City Council. According to information from the council, there are currently no waiting lists for obtaining permits (permit zone Oost-5a). For the most up-to-date information, please go to the website from the municipality of Amsterdam.
