Highlights
Located right in the heart of the peaceful Oostenburg district, the property sits just a stone's throw from the Scheepvaartmuseum and directly adjacent to the Oosterkerk. It is situated within a stately, recently fully renovated residential and commercial building dating from the early 20th century.
The apartment features a high-end and sustainable renovation, boasting an Energy Label A+ along with solar panels and a heat pump. It offers year-round comfort with underfloor heating and cooling, HR++ glazing, and tilt-and-turn windows. A custom lighting plan with dimmers provides ambient lighting throughout the entire space. Premium materials such as oak wood, walnut wood, and quartzite have been used, alongside custom built-in wardrobes and shelving. Outdoor spaces include a south-facing French balcony at the front and a regular balcony at the rear.
Layout
Take either the stairs or the secure elevator from the stately communal hall to your apartment. Upon entering the apartment in the central hallway, you turn right towards the wide living area, which features a characterful exposed brick wall and open solid wooden beams. You will immediately be captivated by the sweeping views over the Wittenburgergracht boulevard and water, especially when opening the double doors to the south-facing French balcony.
The custom-built kitchen features a center island topped with a stunning quartzite countertop. It comes fully equipped with an induction hob with integrated extraction, a quartzite sink with a boiling water tap, and high-end built-in AEG appliances, including a combi-oven, a large refrigerator with separate freezer drawers, and a built-in washer and dryer combination.
Returning to the hallway, you will find a bathroom fully finished in waxed concrete on your right. It is equipped with a rain shower, double sinks on a beautiful wooden vanity with two spacious storage drawers, and a heated towel rail. There is also a separate toilet with ambient lighting and a cleverly designed cloakroom for coats and shoes.
At the quiet rear of the property lies the master bedroom on the right, featuring a smartly designed, illuminated built-in wardrobe offering ample space for a full wardrobe. Additional storage is integrated into the walnut headboard of the bed, which includes hotel-style light switches on both sides. Tucked away behind the built-in wardrobe is the technical room, housing the heat pump and mechanical ventilation system. The bedroom also provides access to the cozy balcony overlooking the courtyard patio, which has already been fitted with pigeon protection nets. On the left is the second multifunctional room, perfectly suited as a second bedroom or a home office.
The apartment is fully semi-furnished, featuring elegant curtains at the front, full blackout curtains in the bedrooms, and a sleek lava-stone resin floor with underfloor heating and cooling. If desired, our interior stylist can fully furnish the apartment for you based on a pre-determined, fixed budget.
