Living in one of the nicest neighborhoods of Amsterdam, in a light double upper house with a roof terrace. An apartment with many windows due to the corner location and a view over the green treetops. The building and the house itself are very well maintained, including a new foundation. The house exudes atmosphere through the beautiful authentic paneling, ceiling moldings, wooden doors, the marble fireplace in the living room and a very special fireplace with beautiful carvings and painting in the kitchen. Normally you only find this kind of finish in stately canal houses, but thanks to a former resident who was also an antique dealer, these original details can also be found in this house in the beloved Helmersbuurt in Oud West.

You reach the second floor via a well-maintained communal staircase. You only share this staircase with the occupant of the 1st floor.
