Description
CHARMING, BRIGHT AND PERFECTLY LAID-OUT 4-ROOM APARTMENT OF APPROX. 75 M² WITH BALCONY, STORAGE ROOM, AND FREEHOLD OWNERSHIP IN THE HIGHLY SOUGHT-AFTER WATERGRAAFSMEER AREA!
Are you looking for a home that offers character, comfort, and a fantastic location? Then this beautifully maintained apartment in the heart of the green and popular Watergraafsmeer is absolutely worth a viewing. This charming and quietly situated apartment of approximately 75 m² features a sunny southeast-facing balcony, a spacious separate storage room, and is situated on freehold land — so no leasehold.
The property has an excellent layout and currently offers three bedrooms, making it particularly suitable for first-time buyers, remote workers, or a young family. Prefer a more generous living room? Without any major alterations, the layout can easily be changed to two bedrooms and an exceptionally spacious living area.
The apartment has been very well maintained and is finished with a sleek laminate floor throughout. The walls were plastered and painted in 2022, creating a fresh and modern look. Comfort and sustainability have also been carefully considered: both the front and rear façades are fitted with high-quality ultra-thin vacuum-insulated glazing, offering excellent thermal insulation comparable to, or even better than, triple glazing. In addition, the wiring, electrical outlets, and fuse box were renewed in 2022.
The kitchen is practical and neatly fitted, while the bathroom and separate toilet are tastefully finished. At the rear of the apartment, you will find the delightful southeast-facing balcony, where you can enjoy a cup of coffee in the sun. An added special feature is that the building has been designated as a municipal monument, contributing to its distinctive character and charm.
Location
The location is ideal. Just a stone’s throw away, you will find Middenweg with various tram and bus connections. The A10 ring road, Science Park railway station, and Amstel Station are also nearby, making the apartment exceptionally well connected. For daily groceries, specialty shops, nice coffee spots, and cosy restaurants, you barely need to leave the neighbourhood. Albert Heijn, Hema, and various other shops are all within walking distance, while the Oostpoort shopping centre is close by for a wider range of stores.
Watergraafsmeer is known for its green, spacious character and excellent amenities. In the immediate vicinity, you will find schools, childcare facilities, sports clubs, and numerous recreational options. From your home, you can easily walk or cycle to the sports fields, Jaap Eden Ice Rink, Park Frankendael, and Oosterpark.
