Vierwindenstraat 13

Vierwindenstraat 13 | Description

Perfectly laid out historical gem in a unique location. A lovely light 76m² 4-room apartment (on freehold land) situated on the third floor (with a lift) in the prestigious (former) warehouse complex “De Real” on the Realeneiland. The living room has a delightful view over the beautifully laid out communal interior garden. The apartment also has its own 6m² external storage area in the basement of the building. Realeneiland is one of the three West Islands [Westelijke Eilanden]. The islands are connected to each other via wooden drawbridges. This is one of Amsterdam's most picturesque, historical districts where it is still quiet and peaceful, where children play out in the street and there is no through traffic. A village-like oasis, with a lot of greenery, at a stone's throw walking distance from the buzzing city centre, the Jordaan, the Haarlemmerdijk, and the Westerpark.

Layout:

An ideal layout. The apartment is situated on the third floor and is accessible via the communal entrance by lift or via the stairway. The sunny living room has four charming arched windows and double doors to the French balcony. The apartment has no less than three bedrooms along an impressive hallway. Spacious bathroom with a bath, built-in sink, and cabinet, washing machine and dryer connection. There is also a separate WC. One of the bedrooms also has its own shower stall; however, this has not been in use since 2015.
A storage area on the ground floor (approx. 6 m²) is accessible via a separate entrance and offers enough space to store bicycles and other articles.


GARDEN:
The Mediterranean interior garden is professionally maintained and can be used freely by the residents. It is lovely to sit and relax in this oasis of nature on a sunny day.

Location:

A rich history, old canals, impressive warehouses, wooden drawbridges, hidden gardens, and lovely façades. The Realeneiland forms part of the West Islands [Westelijke Eilanden]: a quite 'village’ in between the Haarlemmerbuurt, the Jordaan, and the trendy Houthavens. You can picnic and relax in the various city gardens. Craft shops, concept stores, bookstores, and trendy cafés can be found around the corner in the Haarlemmerstraat/-dijk. This is also where the art-deco cinema the Movies is located where art-house films are played. There is a nice farmers’ market every Wednesday on the Haarlemmerplein where biological products are sold.
The apartment can be reached easily by public transport. There are various bus and tram connections on the Haarlemmerplein and the Central Station is about a 15-minute walk.
The Amsterdam ring road is easily accessible by car. Parking (paid or with a permit) is possible in the street or in the surrounding area including the Westerdok, the Prinseneiland, or the Silodam. In addition, parking places are regularly for sale or rent in this area.
