Location / Surroundings
This characteristic street is located in the southern part of the lively Van der Pek neighborhood, where historic charm meets a vibrant community atmosphere. The Van der Pekbuurt is one of the first garden villages in Amsterdam, recognizable by its low-rise houses, red-brick facades, and cozy squares. A village feel in the heart of the city, and an area where you’ll feel at home right away.

Everything you need is within walking distance: the Van der Pekplein and Van der Pekstraat, with bakeries, cozy coffee spots, cafés, and restaurants with terraces. Mosveld shopping center, including two supermarkets, is just a few minutes away on foot. The Pekmarkt, held three times a week, is a local hotspot with fresh produce, street food, and a lively atmosphere. Within walking distance, you’ll also find the iconic Eye Film Museum and cinema.

Green spaces are abundant: Noorderpark, the IJ promenade, and several green strips along the North Holland Canal offer great spots for walking, cycling, or picnicking. In recent years, the neighborhood has seen significant investment: homes have been renovated, public spaces improved, and there’s now a lively mix of homeowners and renters.

Accessibility
This apartment is in a top location when it comes to accessibility. You live in a quiet, charming street, yet you’re quickly wherever you need to be. The North/South metro line is within walking distance—just a few minutes to the metro, and you’ll be at Amsterdam Central Station in under 10 minutes. Several bus lines connect you to other parts of the city and region—ideal for commuting or a day out.

Cycling in North is a joy: wide paths, little traffic, and beautiful views. Within 10 minutes, you can take the ferry to the city center or enjoy a relaxing ride along the IJ. Everything is within reach, from supermarkets to sports clubs and restaurants. By car, you’re well-connected too: within minutes you’re on the A10 ring road and other major routes. Parking on the street is relatively easy and affordable, with charging points for electric cars nearby.

Whether you’re walking to the market, the park, or your favorite café, everything is just a stroll away: shops, schools, playgrounds, and public transport stops. The neighborhood is compact, friendly, and safe—perfect for those who love the outdoors.

Layout
Through your private entrance, you step into a spacious hallway that serves as the central hub of the home, giving access to all rooms—providing a pleasant layout and excellent comfort.

The bright and inviting living room is a wonderful place to relax, featuring a solid oak floor throughout (except in the sanitary rooms). Large rear windows flood the space with daylight and offer a beautiful view of the well-maintained, green garden. The open-plan layout creates a spacious feeling and makes the living room the heart of the home.

The back garden—a true green oasis—is a hidden gem. Measuring approximately 48 m² and facing northwest, it offers plenty of privacy, tranquility, and long hours of sunshine. Thanks to the low-rise surroundings, you’ll enjoy sun from early afternoon until late evening in summer, with shady spots when it’s hot, and lots of privacy. The garden has a private back entrance through a gate—very practical for bikes.

At the rear of the garden, there’s a well-insulated wooden shed with electric heating, lighting, several windows, wired internet, wooden flooring, a desk, and ample storage. This makes for a perfect home office or studio, overlooking your own patch of greenery—working from home has never been this pleasant!

At the front of the apartment, you’ll find a small southwest-facing front garden, where you can enjoy your morning coffee in the sun.

In short: this well-designed and well-maintained ground-floor apartment is move-in ready and offers everything you’re looking for: space, comfort, a sunny garden, a separate workspace, and a central yet peaceful location.
