Live in Amsterdam Oud-West, with Vondelpark just around the corner, a full-width west-facing balcony and the security of freehold ownership. Welcome to Gerard Brandtstraat 4B, a bright first-floor apartment in a characteristic building dating from 1891, which was completely renovated in 2004 and has an energy label A. At the front, you will find the spacious living room with an open-plan kitchen, while the rear offers two bedrooms with unobstructed views over the green inner gardens. The balcony enjoys sunshine from the afternoon until the evening. I would be delighted to show you around.

The apartment
The communal staircase leads to the entrance on the first floor. The hallway divides the apartment, with the living room at the front and the two bedrooms at the rear.
The living room faces the street and is over six metres deep, with three large windows across the front. This makes the room wonderfully bright. The spacious open-plan kitchen has a practical corner layout and is equipped with a five-burner gas hob, extractor hood, combination oven and microwave, dishwasher, and a fridge-freezer. Wide drawers and plenty of cupboard space provide ample storage.
The main bedroom is situated at the quiet rear and opens onto the balcony. Measuring more than thirteen square metres, it offers enough room for a double bed, a full wall of wardrobes and a workspace. The second bedroom is next door and is currently used as a dressing room. It would work equally well as a fully functional bedroom or home office.
The balcony spans the full width of the apartment, measuring over five and a half metres, and faces west. It overlooks the inner gardens and enjoys sunshine from the afternoon until the evening.
The generously sized bathroom features a bathtub, a separate shower and a washbasin. Black floor tiles, white wall tiles and recessed spotlights complete the look. The toilet is separate, and there is also a dedicated cupboard with a connection for the washing machine.
The apartment has wooden window frames with tilt-and-turn windows, HR++ double glazing and fibre-optic internet. The building also has a communal bicycle storage area.
The location
Gerard Brandtstraat is situated in the Helmersbuurt, a quiet and popular part of Amsterdam Oud-West. Vondelpark is just around the corner, perfect for a run or a drink on one of its terraces.

The tram on the Overtoom takes you to the city centre in around fifteen minutes. The A10 ring road is easily accessible via Cornelis Lelylaan, and Schiphol Airport is approximately twenty minutes away by car.
