Eerste Helmersstraat 108 /2

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.

LAYOUT
You reach the second floor via a well-maintained communal staircase. You only share this staircase with the occupant of the 1st floor. At the bottom of the stairs is a beautiful round stained glass window. When you open the front door, you immediately notice the atmospheric details. You enter the dining room / kitchen with 4 large windows. This provides an abundance of light. There is an amazing antique wooden block floor. The luxury kitchen is equipped with all modern conveniences; a beautiful spacious island with natural stone countertops with chiseled edges. There is a lot of storage space in the kitchen itself, the space near the stairs has also been used, storage space has also been created here. All equipment is also present; combi oven / microwave, 5 burner gas hob, dishwasher, 1.5 sink and separate fridge with freezer. There is a separate toilet. Next to the front door is a handy and spacious storage cupboard with space for coats, among other things.

There is enough space for a large dining table in the dining area, next to which is the living room. An extra wide living room of 5.23 x 5 m. The charming bay window and beautiful marble fireplace with large mirror give this room extra atmosphere. Again a beautiful antique herringbone wooden floor with piping. The view here is very nice with an unobstructed view over the trees.

The stairs from the kitchen take you to the third floor. At the moment, this floor is arranged as an open space with a spacious bedroom on the one hand and a workspace on the other. In the middle is the bathroom with separate laundry room and separate toilet. The 'upstairs room' next to the stairs has been raised to create storage space. You could also make several bedrooms on this floor.
The roof terrace upstairs is licensed and offers a spectacular view of the city.

The foundation was repaired in 2009 and the roof covering was completely renewed last year. All electricity and all pipes have also been replaced. The roof is insulated from the inside, the facades on the third floor are insulated and the floors are also insulated. 2 new iron beams have been installed in the kitchen due to the the weight of the kitchen. Extra beams have been placed in both the floor of the bedroom and in the roof due to the weight of the bathroom and the roof terrace. The central heating boiler was installed in 2020.
