*Schedule your viewing easily via our website, whenever it suits you, 24/7.*

A Wonderfully bright and spacious upper floor apartment of approximately 98 m², featuring two generously sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, a French balcony at the front and a balcony at the quiet rear. Arranged across the third floor and part of the fourth floor of a characteristic building dating from 1904, in an attractive location between Westerpark and the Jordaan.
The generous proportions provide a bright living floor and a comfortable sleeping floor with two spacious bedrooms. The current third bedroom could, if desired, be sacrificed to incorporate the kitchen into the living room, creating a generous open plan living space. The foundations were renewed in 2004.

*** In the past, the possibility of creating a roof terrace was investigated. Planning permission was granted for this in 2007. The roof terrace was not constructed at the time. ***


LOCATION:
Gerard Schaepstraat is situated in a pleasant part of the popular Frederik Hendrikbuurt, between Westerpark and the Jordaan. Enjoy peaceful living on an attractive street, while still being located directly on the edge of the city centre, with everything Amsterdam has to offer close by. The Jordaan, Haarlemmerdijk, Westerstraat and Noordermarkt are all within walking distance or a short bicycle ride. Hugo de Grootplein, Marnixbad and Westerpark are also nearby. There is hardly any need to leave the neighbourhood for coffee, drinks, groceries or excellent restaurants. Popular local destinations include KID Amsterdam, Duende Dos, Oakberry Açaí, Back to Black, De Willem and Morgan & Mees, alongside the many attractive places around Van Limburg Stirumstraat and Van Hallstraat.

Westerpark is just around the corner for relaxation, offering plenty of greenery and a wide range of cultural and culinary activities at the Westergasterrein. The Sunday Market also regularly brings extra energy to the area, with designers, food trucks, music and a relaxed weekend atmosphere. The nearby Food Center will be sustainably redeveloped over the coming years into a combination of residential space, commercial activity and greenery, with the Centrale Markthal as its cultural centrepiece. This is expected to further enhance the appeal of the neighbourhood.
Tram and bus connections are easily accessible, while the Haarlemmerweg provides convenient access by car to the A10 ring road.


LAYOUT:
The entrance to the apartment on the third floor is reached through the communal staircase.

Third floor
At the front is the exceptionally wide living room, featuring three large windows and a ceiling height of approximately 2.80 metres. The room feels bright and spacious and easily accommodates both a comfortable seating area and a large dining table. French doors provide access to the balcony overlooking the street.
The separate kitchen is centrally positioned within the apartment. Next to it is the internal staircase leading to the fourth floor. Several practical built in cupboards are also located throughout this floor.

At the quiet rear is a spacious room that is ideal for use as a bedroom, home office, children’s room or guest room. French doors provide access to the second balcony, overlooking the green inner gardens. Its northeast orientation makes this a lovely place to enjoy a cup of coffee in the morning sun. Next to this room is a compact bathroom with a shower, washbasin and toilet.

The current layout is practical, while also offering plenty of possibilities to adapt the apartment to your personal preferences. An open plan living kitchen could, for example, be created at the rear, with direct access to the balcony. This would create an inviting living space on the quiet side of the apartment, where the indoor and outdoor areas flow naturally into one another.
With a balcony at both the front and rear, there is always a pleasant place to sit outside.

Fourth floor
The fourth floor is reached via the internal staircase. This level includes two well proportioned bedrooms, a spacious bathroom, a landing and a built in cupboard. The largest bedroom is comfortably sized and includes a walk in wardrobe. The second bedroom is very suitable as a children’s room, guest room or home office.

The bathroom is spacious and fitted with a bathtub and shower, a double washbasin, a toilet and a connection for the washing machine. The room is functional, although the finish and overall appearance could benefit from some further attention. This floor also offers a surprising amount of storage space.

Solid oak flooring runs throughout the apartment, connecting both levels and creating a calm and well cared for appearance. The distribution across two floors also provides a pleasant sense of space and privacy.

SPACE AND POTENTIAL
With multiple bedrooms, two bathrooms and two balconies, the apartment offers plenty of flexibility for different living requirements and stages of life. There may also be potential to create a roof terrace. The feasibility and required permissions would need to be investigated again.
