Welcome to this beautifully renovated home, located on the top floor at Nicolaas Maesstraat 112. This charming upper floor apartment is part of a characteristic building from 1910, located in the heart of the beloved Museum Quarter in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid. Nicolaas Maesstraat is known for its stately early 20th-century residences and the quiet, green atmosphere that is so characteristic of this neighborhood. Here you will live in a perfect combination of historic allure and modern living comfort, within walking distance of shops, culture, restaurants, and the Vondelpark. The building in which this apartment is located was built in the early 20th-century eclectic style, recognizable by the elegant brickwork, high windows, and subtle bay windows that are typical of this neighborhood.
Layout:
The entrance to the apartment on the third floor is reached via the well-maintained, shared staircase. There is a spacious closet in the stairwell for extra storage. An internal staircase provides access to the apartment on the fourth floor. Upon entering, you will immediately notice the high-quality finish, including a beautiful herringbone oak floor that runs throughout the apartment. There are two bedrooms at the front. The master bedroom is equipped with custom-made built-in wardrobes across the entire width and has a sleek, concealed air conditioning system integrated into the wardrobe design. A particularly attractive detail is the original wooden beams, which have been restored by the contractor and give the house a warm, authentic character.
The bathroom, internal storage room, and separate toilet are located in the center of the house. These rooms are finished with matte, beige ceramic tiles in a natural stone look, creating a calm and timeless whole.
At the rear is the beating heart of the house: a spacious, bright living room with an open kitchen. The enormous floor-to-ceiling windows provide an abundance of daylight and a direct connection to the wide balcony facing northwest. From here, you can enjoy not only the pleasant evening sun, but also a unique view of the iconic tennis court in the green courtyard behind the building. The luxurious kitchen is designed in Japandi style and equipped with all modern built-in appliances, including a wine climate cabinet, induction hob, Quooker, combi-microwave oven, refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher. Air conditioning is also installed here. The balcony also has an insulated storage cupboard in which the central heating boiler and hybrid heat pump are located, keeping them neatly out of sight and freeing up space inside the home.
From the living room, an internal staircase leads to the spacious roof terrace of approx. 17.5 m². Here you can enjoy a fantastic and unobstructed view of the Museum Quarter and Oud-Zuid. The roof terrace offers plenty of privacy, sun, and a beautiful view. A place to relax, dine, or enjoy long summer evenings.
