Sarphatistraat 90 3

Stylish, Light-Filled Three-Room Apartment with High Ceilings on the Prestigious Sarphatistraat

A stylish, light-filled three-room apartment featuring high ceilings and large windows, situated on the elegant Sarphatistraat, renowned for its beautiful trees and wide pavements.

This is the Plantage neighbourhood at its very best. Since Sarphatistraat became a bicycle street, cars are now very much the exception rather than the rule, creating a wonderfully peaceful atmosphere. At the same time, some of Amsterdam’s most beautiful landmarks are just a few minutes’ walk away, including the River Amstel, the Royal Theatre Carré and the historic canal belt.

The apartment is situated on freehold land (no leasehold) in a recently subdivided building. The owners’ association (VvE) has recently been established and a multi-year maintenance plan (MJOP) is in place. The foundations were completely renewed in 2005, and in 2022 the windows were replaced and fitted with double glazing.

Layout

The apartment is accessed via a well-maintained communal staircase and is located on the third floor. The central hallway provides access to all rooms. Immediately to the right is a separate toilet. The bathroom features a shower and washbasin.

At the rear of the apartment is the kitchen, fitted with a simple kitchen unit, various appliances and a freestanding refrigerator. Connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer are conveniently housed in a separate cupboard.

The magnificent living room was originally designed as a traditional en-suite room and measures an impressive 12.5 metres in length. The large windows and high ceilings give the space a wonderful sense of grandeur and period charm. At the rear, the apartment enjoys views over deep, tree-lined gardens.

The VvE's regulations allow for the possibility of installing a balcony at the rear of the building – facing south\!

At the front, the apartment overlooks the treetops lining Sarphatistraat. Thanks to its elevated position, the mature trees and the generous width of the street, the apartment offers an exceptional degree of privacy.

Also at the front is a spacious bedroom with a built-in wardrobe wall.

Location

The location is superb: close to the River Amstel, Royal Theatre Carré and Utrechtsestraat on one side, and the Plantage neighbourhood, ARTIS Zoo and Roeterseiland on the other. The surrounding area offers an abundance of cafés and restaurants.

For everyday shopping, there is a wide selection of local shops and supermarkets nearby. The popular Albert Cuyp Market is also just a short cycle away.

Culture lovers are spoilt for choice, with Royal Theatre Carré, Filmhuis Kriterion, H’ART Museum and the Tropenmuseum all within easy reach. And, of course, there is the opportunity to enjoy a refreshing swim in the River Amstel.

Amsterdam Central Station and Amsterdam Amstel Station can both be reached by bicycle in under ten minutes. The city centre, De Pijp and the vibrant Oost neighbourhood are all easily accessible.

With numerous tram, bus and metro connections nearby, getting around the city is effortless. The metro takes you to Amsterdam Central Station or Amsterdam Zuid in just a few minutes. The A10 ring road can also be reached in approximately ten minutes.

The Residents Say

"Living here is truly wonderful! What we particularly loved was the lovely atmosphere of our apartment on this floor. It feels both elegant and cosy at the same time. The original staircase is also something quite special.
Being on the third floor means the apartment enjoys an exceptional amount of natural light and a wonderful sense of space. With trees on both sides – overlooking both the street and the gardens – you sometimes almost forget you are living in the heart of the city. Yet everything is right on your doorstep, without being bothered by traffic or the hustle and bustle of city life.
The excellent accessibility was another major advantage for us. Metro and tram stops are just around the corner, making it easy to get to Amsterdam Amstel or Central Station, the Albert Cuyp Market or Leidseplein.
We especially enjoyed the summer months, with ARTIS Zoo, the River Amstel and Oosterpark all within walking distance.

We will certainly miss Sarphatistraat!"
