Charming duplex upper apartment with sweeping views of vibrant Mercatorplein. The home offers three well‑proportioned bedrooms, a broad and bright living room, a spacious eat‑in kitchen, and a fantastic 30 m² roof terrace facing west. Here you can enjoy the sun in complete peace and privacy while living in the bustling heart of De Baarsjes, just steps from lively Jan Evertsenstraat and leafy Rembrandtpark. I would be delighted to arrange a viewing.
Third floor
At the rear sits the inviting eat‑in kitchen with French doors to the balcony. Thanks to three sets of double doors, indoor and outdoor spaces flow seamlessly. The balcony spans the full width of the apartment and enjoys a perfect westerly orientation. The kitchen easily accommodates a large dining table and is fitted with built‑in appliances: fridge with freezer compartment, 4‑burner gas hob with oven, extractor, and dishwasher.
Also on this level are the first bedroom and a hallway with clever storage solutions, including a utility cupboard with connections for a washing machine and dryer.
At the front you’ll find the living room: a wide, light‑filled space with unobstructed views over ever‑lively Mercatorplein. The rectangular room is smoothly plastered and, thanks to double insulated glazing, remains pleasantly quiet.
Fourth floor
Here are the two additional bedrooms and the full bathroom featuring a walk‑in shower, vanity unit, bathtub, and recessed spotlights for a polished look.
Roof terrace
The show‑stopper is undoubtedly the 30 m² roof terrace. There’s ample room for a lounge set, dining table, and barbecue. With no adjoining terraces you’ll enjoy total privacy, and the sun graces the space all day.
Neighbourhood
De Baarsjes is a lively, relaxed, and highly sought‑after area. Within walking distance are long‑established local shops such as the bakery, fishmonger, organic greengrocer, and the famous Alladin nut shop. Jan Evertsenstraat (“Jan Eef”) offers a wide range of restaurants, cafés, coffee bars, boutiques, hairdressers, and wellness spots.
In summer, Mercatorplein becomes a popular meeting place where neighbours gather and children play in the fountain. A residents’ car park lies beneath the square, and a new Italian restaurant on the square was named “Best Newcomer in Amsterdam Hospitality” in 2024.
Rembrandtpark is close by, with several playgrounds, a petting zoo, primary school, play field, and even a riding school. The Mercator swimming pool borders the park. To the north you’ll find Erasmuspark, known for its wildflower garden and a beloved café. By car you’re on the A10 ring road in minutes, making the property easily accessible.
