Steve Bikoplein 6 2 Amsterdam

Bright and charming 4-room apartment of 80 m², featuring three balconies and impressive ceiling heights of 2.83 meters.
Located on freehold land, the apartment offers unobstructed views over the green Steve Bikoplein with its characteristic chestnut trees, perfectly combining space, character, and a prime location.

Built in 1911, the building retains many beautiful original details. A towering wisteria adorns the façade, earning the property the title of “Most Beautiful Green Façade in Amsterdam” in 2022. A distinctive and charming feature.

LAYOUT

Hallway:
The hallway leads to a bright and spacious living room, immediately noticeable for its high ceilings and elegant herringbone parquet flooring.

Living room:
The living room is a wonderfully bright, east west facing space with windows at both the front and back, flooding the room with natural light all day long, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere from morning to evening.
At the front, the living room opens onto a balcony with lovely views over the green square. A rare combination of tranquility and urban vibrancy. All morning until early afternoon the balcony is bathed with sunlight, making it the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or lunch in the sun.

Kitchen:
The modern 2023 kitchen features contemporary built-in appliances, a bright composite countertop, and a cozy handcrafted island with extra-wide drawers, as well as a built-in Avintage wine cooler with two temperature zones.
The kitchen opens onto a balcony overlooking the peaceful inner gardens, with a handy storage cupboard. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a cocktail or drink and unwind at the end of the day.

Three bedrooms:
The apartment has three bedrooms, which can also be used as home offices or guest rooms. Two bedrooms are located at the front. The first bedroom has a charming window nook, perfect for enjoying the morning sun with views over the green square. The second bedroom at the front has doors opening onto a balcony. The third bedroom is at the quiet rear of the apartment and provides access to the largest balcony.

Bathroom and toilet:
The generous bathroom (2019) includes a walk-in shower, bathtub, double washbasin, and a large towel radiator. The bathroom also features two built-in cupboards: the central heating boiler (Intergas Extreme 30, 2022) is installed in one of the two cabinets. There is ample storage space for towels and bathroom essentials.
Next to the bathroom, there is a separate toilet, and the hallway features a built-in cupboard housing the washing machine.

OUTDOOR SPACE

With three balconies and green views over the square with chestnut trees, there is always a pleasant spot to enjoy the outdoors.

HOMEOWNERS’ ASSOCIATION (HOA)

The apartment is part of an active and financially healthy, small-scale Homeowners’ Association consisting of four apartments. Members manage the administration and maintenance themselves, ensuring efficient and involved oversight. Monthly service costs are €104, including building insurance and maintenance reserves.
The homeowners’ association meets the legal requirement to set aside sufficient funds for future maintenance.

In 2024 the front roof tiles were replaced and the façade was repainted, keeping the building in excellent condition both technically and aesthetically.

FREEHOLD

The apartment is on freehold land, meaning no ground lease fees apply. This provides security and is a significant advantage compared to many other apartments in Amsterdam.

SURROUNDINGS

The apartment is located in the popular Transvaalbuurt, just around the corner from the bustling Linnaeusstraat, Krugerplein, Pretoriusstraat and Beukenplein. You’ll find a wide variety of coffee spots, trendy cafés and restaurants within easy reach. Nearby dining options include places like De Kas and VanOost Restaurant, both well regarded for their culinary offerings, as well as Clos, The Cottage, Fuku Ramen, and Bukowski for drinks and casual dining. You don’t even have to go far to enjoy a coffee at Rum Baba Coffeeroasters, or have a beer at Cafe Ruk en Pluk.
There’s also a good selection of supermarkets and local shops for everyday shopping right nearby.

Green space is plentiful in this part of the city. The Oosterpark and Frankendael park are just around the corner, and in summer you can enjoy the water and terraces along the Weesperzijde.

A number of primary schools are also located close by.
