Haarlemmer Houttuinen 297 Amsterdam

Description

A unique opportunity: living in a national monument at a prime location in Amsterdam. The 2-room apartment features large windows that let in plenty of natural light, creating a spacious feeling. The property includes a large rooftop terrace where you can enjoy peace and quiet in the heart of the bustling city. Additionally, the ground lease has been perpetually bought off.

Layout:
Via the shared and spacious stairwell, you arrive at the front door of the apartment on the second floor.
Upon entering, you step into an open space with a smart layout. The apartment has large windows that allow plenty of natural light. The kitchen and living room form one functional and cozy unit. The kitchen is equipped with built-in appliances and plenty of storage space.
The bedroom is cleverly and space-efficiently separated from the living room.
Adjacent to the bedroom is the bathroom, which is equipped with a walk-in shower, a sink with a vanity, and the toilet. The washing machine connection is in the hallway, next to the front door.

The absolute highlight of this property is the spacious rooftop terrace, where you can enjoy a stunning view of the city. Please note that the rooftop terrace is not included in the property division.

Surroundings:
The apartment is located directly next to the popular Haarlemmerstraat and Haarlemmerdijk, where you’ll find a wealth of unique shops, cozy cafés, and restaurants. This street is known for its mix of shops, ranging from boutiques to specialty stores. You can also enjoy dining at various restaurants here. Think of Restaurant Daalder, a place where modern French cuisine is served in a relaxed atmosphere, and Bar Boca’s, a cozy bar where you can share tapas-like bites. For a good coffee or breakfast, head to Vinnies, a charming café focused on sustainability and local food.
Another plus of this location is its proximity to the Jordaan, one of Amsterdam’s most characteristic and charming neighborhoods. With its picturesque canals, hidden courtyards, and a wealth of small galleries and art shops, the Jordaan offers a delightful place to wander and discover. The Saturday morning market on Lindengracht, for instance, is one of the city’s best-kept secrets, where you can find fresh fruit, vegetables, flowers, and local products.

Westerpark, within walking distance, is a green oasis perfect for relaxation and outdoor activities. Additionally, the park regularly hosts cultural events, such as food festivals and open-air cinemas. The nearby Westergas area is a creative hotspot with theaters, galleries, and excellent dining options, such as Pacific Amsterdam.
The location is easily accessible. Amsterdam Central Station is just a 5-minute bike ride away, providing quick connections to other parts of the city and beyond, via tram, bus, or train.
