Kerkstraat 459 4, Amsterdam

One of a kind! Stunningly bright and charming double upper house in a prime location, practically on the corner of Kerkstraat and the Amstel. Unique due to the remarkable width of the building of approximately 7.75 meters, unique due to the large windows, and unique due to the picturesque views at both the front and rear. Approximately 91m² excluding balconies, yet exceptionally spacious and well laid out, part of a well-managed homeowners’ association (VvE), and situated on freehold land.


LOCATION:
The apartment is beautifully located on a delightful stretch of Kerkstraat, between the lively Utrechtsestraat and the Amstel. Peacefully situated yet close to countless cozy cafés, restaurants, and shops. The Utrechtsestraat, with its unique boutiques, delicatessens, and excellent dining options, is just around the corner. Within walking distance, you’ll find the Magere Brug, Carré Theatre, Amstelveld, the Stopera, and Artis Zoo.
The property is also very well connected by public transport, with multiple tram, bus, and metro links nearby.


LAYOUT:
A fresh, spacious, and well-maintained entrance leads via a gentle staircase to the front door on the second floor (third floor according to the division deed and municipal records!).

On the third floor, you’ll find the bright and well-designed living room, which benefits from excellent natural light thanks to large windows on both sides. The charming bay window offers stunning views toward the Amstel and the Magere Brug. The generous open kitchen is practically arranged and equipped with various built-in appliances, including a Quooker. The kitchen overlooks the lower rooftops of the inner gardens of the beautiful buildings along the Amstel and Keizersgracht.

The hallway is elegantly separated from the living room by a steel and glass partition with a door, creating a spacious and modern effect. Adjacent to the hallway is a small yet very charming balcony that enjoys the afternoon and evening sun.

A beautiful staircase leads to the top floor, where two atmospheric bedrooms are located. The master bedroom at the front offers a lovely city view from the dormer window with French doors opening onto a Juliet balcony. Like the living room, this bedroom has windows on both sides, allowing for wonderful natural light. It also provides access to the second balcony, which features a storage cupboard. From here, a staircase leads to a cozy rooftop terrace with breathtaking views. Additionally, the bedroom includes a spacious built-in wardrobe.

The second bedroom, ideal as an office or nursery, is also located at the front and boasts a charming ambiance with French windows and a built-in bookcase.

The spacious, modern bathroom features a walk-in shower, sink with mirror, and a floating toilet. On the hallway, there is a closet with connections for a washing machine and dryer, as well as access to the handy attic storage space—perfect for extra storage. The central heating system is also installed here.
