Houtrijkstraat 385, 1013 VB Amsterdam

Light, well laid out and quietly located 1-bedroom apartment of 46 m² with a sunny balcony and a separate storage room, in the popular Spaarndammerbuurt.
In 2018, the apartment was thoroughly renovated: the kitchen and bathroom were renewed and the layout was optimized. The ground lease has been converted to perpetual leasehold under favourable conditions (fixed).

LOCATION
The apartment is located in a charming part of the Spaarndammerbuurt, right between Westerpark and the Houthavens. A quiet street, just around the corner from lively Spaarndammerstraat, where you’ll find plenty of shops and popular restaurants such as Freud, Compartir, Morris & Bella, and De Walvis. Fine dining options like REM and Lars in the Houthavens are also within easy reach.

Westerpark is just a short walk away and is well known for its vibrant atmosphere with events, bars, terraces and cultural hotspots. The Jordaan, Prinseneiland and Haarlemmerdijk are a short cycle ride away, and the ferry to the NDSM wharf is also nearby. Within ten minutes you can reach the city centre by bike. Bus lines 22 and 48 stop close by and take you directly into the centre and to other parts of the city. By car, the A10 ring road can be reached in about five minutes via the S102. Parking on the street is generally easy.

LAYOUT
The apartment is located on the first floor and accessed via a well-maintained communal staircase. Inside, you’ll find a bright and well-kept home with an open layout. Upon entering the living room, the large windows and French doors immediately draw your attention, connecting the interior with the balcony at the rear. Here you can enjoy the afternoon and evening sun with views over the green courtyard gardens, a quiet and peaceful place to unwind at the end of the day.

The open kitchen is cleverly designed with a modern cooking island, giving it the feel of a cosy eat-in kitchen. Fully equipped with an electric hob and extractor, oven, dishwasher and fridge, it’s an ideal space for cooking and dining together.

At the front is the spacious bedroom, overlooking the wide street and mature trees. There is room for a double bed, wardrobe and a desk or home office. If desired, the space could be divided into two rooms, creating a second bedroom or study. The bathroom is compact yet practical, with a shower, sink and toilet. There is also a separate utility cupboard with washing machine connection, keeping everything tidy and organised.
An additional plus is the private storage room of approx. 5 m² in the attic, perfect for items you don’t use every day.
