About this property

Light and charming 123 m² apartment with two large bedrooms and a sunny south-facing balcony, on the 3rd and 4th floors of a characteristic building in the sought-after Da Costabuurt in Oud-West. On freehold land (no ground lease) and fully renovated in 2003 including the foundation — on the nicest stretch of the street, between the Jacob van Lennepstraat and the Kinkerstraat.

Layout

Entrance is on the second floor via a private staircase with space for coats and shoes. The sprawling third floor is fully open: a living room with wood-burning fireplace at the front and a dining room at the rear, with a modern kitchen in between — granite worktop and new appliances including a Smeg 6-burner range, Smeg fridge-freezer and dishwasher, plus generous storage opposite. The 6 m² south-facing balcony sits off the dining area, with an electric awning. Comfortable stairs lead to the fourth floor: the master bedroom at the front with exposed beams and ample built-in storage; a central bathroom with bathtub, double rain shower, double washbasin and underfloor heating; a separate toilet; and a second bedroom at the rear, almost as large as the master.

Location

The Da Costabuurt is one of Oud-West's most popular, leafy neighborhoods. The Elandsgracht, Bellamyplein and Rozengracht with their many shops are within walking distance, and the Jordaan's bars and cafés — Waterkant, Bar Spek, Hendrix — are close by. Easy car access via the A10 (exits S100, S105, S106); Schiphol within about 20 minutes by car and Central Station a 10-minute cycle.
