Description
In the most beautiful part of the beloved Helmersbuurt, just a stone’s throw from Vondelpark, you’ll find this stunning double upper level apartment of approx. 113 m². The home features a spacious open plan living floor, three full-sized bedrooms, and a generous, sunny rooftop terrace. The apartment is located in a charming, character-filled building dating back to 1899 and is situated on freehold land. In 2019, the property was extensively and tastefully renovated, including the installation of a beautiful oak wood floor. A modern bathroom and a toilet with a washbasin were added, and all windows were fitted with double glazing.
