EXCEPTIONALLY BRIGHT AND EXTREMELY ATMOSPHERIC TWO-STORY APARTMENT OF 93M² (GFA 120M²) WITH A PRIVATE ENTRANCE FROM THE STREET. THIS CHARMING APARTMENT FEATURES A BEAUTIFUL LIVING FLOOR WITH AN OPEN ROOF STRUCTURE AND A SECLUDED SOUTH-FACING ROOFTOP TERRACE.

This spacious home is situated in a building from 1886 that was completely renovated in 2015, including a new foundation. What immediately stands out is the fantastic living floor located on the top level. The layout is perfectly optimized, utilizing every square meter effectively. This is especially evident on the third floor, where three spacious bedrooms are located. In particular, the serene atmosphere and tranquillity experienced in the home are remarkable.
The VvE “Gerard Doustraat 4 in Amsterdam” consists of only 2 members, with the administration managed in-house. The service charges are €76 per month, and a long-term maintenance plan has been drawn up. The painting of the front facade is scheduled for October, with the quote confirmed and financed by the current VvE.
LAYOUT
Via the private entrance, the carpeted staircase leads to this wonderful upper apartment. There is space for a wardrobe on both the first and second floors. From the third floor, an internal wooden staircase leads to the top floor, the living area of this upper house. This charming living floor is divided into three spaces: a cozy sitting room at the front, a modern kitchen in the middle, and a pleasant dining room with an adjoining rooftop terrace at the rear. This floor features air conditioning.
The modern open kitchen is equipped with high-gloss white cabinets and handle-less drawers, combined with an anthracite-colored composite countertop and matching backsplash. The wide drawers have a soft-close system. Additionally, the kitchen is largely equipped with built-in appliances, except for the standalone refrigerator. Worth mentioning is the Quooker (renewed in 2024) and the large Smeg stove with oven. Directly opposite to the kitchen, there is a deep storage closet housing the central heating system.
The secluded rooftop terrace is south-facing and offers expansive views over the green courtyards. This terrace has an area of 7m² and features new decking.
The lower sleeping floor offers space for three well-sized bedrooms and a tasteful bathroom. The hallway is spacious, equipped with a deep closet for a washing machine and dryer, and provides access to the separate toilet. The master bedroom is located at the front. This room is nicely proportioned and features air conditioning, a built-in closet, and the meter cupboard. The second spacious room is located at the rear and includes a beautiful custom-built wardrobe, with the right section serving as a built-in closet. The adjacent bedroom also features a beautiful custom-built wardrobe. Both custom wardrobes are equipped with a light sensor.
The modern bathroom, luxuriously renovated in 2022, is situated in the middle of the living floor. Like the separate toilet, it is finished with a mottled sand-colored floor and wall tiles, combined with partially plastered walls in a light color scheme. Additionally, the bathroom is equipped with a spacious walk-in shower with a rain shower and separate hand shower, a designer radiator, a beautiful vanity unit with wooden cabinets and built-in faucets. A light sensor automatically activates the LED lighting underneath the unit when entering the bathroom.
The property is fully insulated and features tilt-and-turn windows with double glazing (HR++). This results in a highly favorable energy label A.
