Description
Loft-like living with unique ceiling heights of almost 6 metres, in an energy-efficient apartment with a stunningly luxurious finish. The apartment measures 115 sq m and has three bedrooms, a large west-facing balcony, an external storage unit, a parking space in the substructure and to top it off, the leasehold has been purchased in perpetuity! This gas-free home was completed in 2020 and has been fitted with underfloor heating, a heating recycling system and HR+++ glass, resulting in lower heating bills! As an added bonus, the ‘New West’ building won the Zuiderkerkprijs architecture prize in 2020 and boasts stunning views of the setting sun across the train tracks.
LOCAL AREA
The home is in a very appealing location in the Overtoomse Veld district of Amsterdam. This is the future: living just outside the city centre with plenty of amenities nearby, parking options and lots of surrounding greenery, and yet Amsterdam-West a mere 15 minutes away by bike.
Close enough to walk or hop on your bike and cycle through Rembrandtpark; the area boasts supermarkets and cafes and terraces for a quick coffee. The facilities within Amsterdam New-West are endless. There are two international schools in the area, a library, theatre, shops and plenty of nature, making New-West a great area to live in with plenty of options for shopping, recreational activities, meet-ups with friends, getting a bite to eat and enjoying culture. Rembrandtpark and Sloterplas are both a mere 5-minute walk away and are ideal for relaxing and having fun. Directly adjacent to the building you will find the completely renovated railway park and the new and improved August Allebéplein is two minutes away, boasting shops and cafes, bars and restaurants, including Albert Heijn and Lidl.
New West is easily accessible by public transport and by car. A metro stop is also located right around the corner. The metro takes you to the city centre in 15 minutes (stops for lines 50 and 51 are within walking distance and the stop for bus 18 is only 15 metres from the apartment). There are also multiple buses to neighbourhoods across the city. There are plenty of train connections at Lelylaan station and the close proximity of New West to the A10 orbital motorway makes travel by car easy too.
LAYOUT
The home was fully renovated in 2020.
Via the entrance on Postjesweg or the car park you can take the stairs or lift to the fifth floor, where the entrance to this sleek maisonette is located. The foyer provides access to the separate toilet and the indoor storage space with connections for your washing machine and dryer. From the second you step into this home via the foyer, you will fall in love with the stylish finish, the ceiling heights in the mezzanine and the views of the greenery. The living room/kitchen stretches from the front to the back, the ceiling high windows with electrical sunscreens and sliding doors to the balcony ensure that the room is wonderfully bright, bringing the outdoors in and vice versa. The balcony offers spectacular views of the railway park and Sloterplas and is west-facing, making it a perfect place to enjoy the sun in the afternoon and evening.
Barletti and Next123 designed the kitchen and island with a sleek finish in black and brown colours. The kitchen is also fitted with steam oven, combi microwave/oven, induction hob, downdraft extractor hood by Novy, dishwasher and a refrigerator. The kitchen blends in nicely in the generously-sized living room with a height that is nothing short of unique. The walls are plastered in a grey shade of concrete that connects seamlessly to the mezzanine above. The entire ground floor benefits from underfloor heating throughout.
A fixed staircase leads up to the sixth floor. The steel balustrade with a wall of glass was designed by the current owners, paying great attention to detail such as the planters that have been added to the upper edge. This floor offers three bedrooms with fixed built-in cupboards. Some thought was also put into the light switches and sockets, that work like hotel switches. The modern bathroom features a bath, shower, wash basin, toilet, designer radiator, and is fully tiled.
Both the entire ground floor and the first floor boast Senso poured concrete floors.
