FANTASTIC BRIGHT, SPACIOUS, AND ATMOSPHERIC GROUND-FLOOR APARTMENT OF 98M² (BVO 108M²) WITH A LARGE, SUNNY GARDEN OF APPROX. 90M². THIS APARTMENT FEATURES A BEAUTIFUL OPEN-PLAN LIVING ROOM WITH A MODERN OPEN KITCHEN, THREE BEDROOMS, AND A LOVELY BATHROOM. THE PROPERTY IS QUIETLY LOCATED AT THE HEAD OF MERWEDEPLEIN IN THE VIBRANT RIVIERENBUURT AND WITHIN CYCLING DISTANCE OF THE LIVELY ALBERT CUYP MARKET, THE BEAUTIFUL MARTIN LUTHER KING PARK, AND THE AMSTEL RIVER.
This great ground-floor home is located in a building from 1931 that was almost entirely renovated in 2017. Noteworthy are the width of the building, the depth of the living room, and certainly the spacious, sunny garden, which significantly enhances the living space. The entire apartment also features high ceilings with mostly dimmable recessed lighting, charming shutters, and a beautiful oak herringbone floor.
The popular Rivierenbuurt, and especially this area, is highly sought after due to the many dining and drinking spots, multiple sports facilities, well-known supermarkets, and various specialty shops. The expansive and green Merwedeplein in front offers seating and playground areas, and the pétanque court provides a weekly neighborhood outing.
The homeowners' association, called ‘VvE of the building De Hyacinth,’ covers multiple buildings. The administration is professionally managed by Minerva Vastgoed Beheer, and a multi-year maintenance plan has been established. It is an active association that meets annually.
LAYOUT
Through the private entrance with a vestibule, the cut-glass door provides access to the spacious hall. This hall features a deep wardrobe closet and provides access to all rooms. The living room has an open en-suite layout with the sitting room located at the front and a spacious kitchen at the rear. Both rooms have built-in cupboards, with the ones in the sitting room functioning as open bookcases. This fantastic space has a depth of no less than 13 meters and offers double doors at the rear, as well as an additional entrance to the south-facing garden.
The stunning kitchen accommodates a spacious dining area, which can be perfectly placed in front of the robust brickstone wall. The kitchen is arranged on two sides and is equipped with handleless sand-colored cabinets and drawers, with a solid dark natural stone worktop on the cooking side combined with a wooden worktop on the opposite side. The kitchen is fully equipped with built-in appliances, notably a 5-burner stove with wok burner and a Quooker. A fun detail is the space for a coffee corner.
Through the double doors or the single entrance, the expansive garden of approximately 90m² can be accessed. This delightful garden offers an oasis of calm amidst the bustling Rivierenbuurt. With its southern exposure, one can enjoy the sun all day, although there are also several shady spots. A wide terrace has been created on the house side, featuring hardwood decking and space for a large lounge area. A small step leads to the rest of the garden, which is partially covered with artificial grass and partially paved, providing an ideal spot for a large dining table. On the left side, there is a wooden shed equipped with electricity. With an area of over 6.5m², one could even create a workspace here if desired. There is also a back entrance that leads to Victorieplein.
The master bedroom is located on the garden side. This room is nicely proportioned and features a ceiling-high built-in wardrobe (handleless and with a push/click system). This bedroom has access to the aforementioned garden. The adjacent bedroom also has access to the garden and is equipped with a custom-made cabinet housing the central heating system.
The third bedroom is located at the front. Here, a wide built-in storage closet can be found, where the washing machine/dryer connections are located.
The sanitary rooms are accessible from the hall. The separate toilet and adjacent bathroom have a matching design. Both rooms feature a light gray tiled floor and marble-look wall tiles combined with a white plastered wall. The bathroom is equipped with a bathtub, walk-in shower, towel radiator, and a wooden washbasin cabinet with a marble top.
The entire apartment has an oak herringbone floor, white plastered walls, charming shutters, and double-glazed windows.
