Details

Description

If this is what you’re looking for:
a large (and sunny) garden, at least 2 bedrooms, freehold ownership, located in Watergraafsmeer, no fixer-upper, and a well-managed homeowners’ association...
then you’ve probably just found your dream home!

Avogadrostraat 4-H offers all of the above—and more.

This charming ground-floor apartment of approximately 75 m² offers a surprisingly complete living experience, featuring a practical storage unit in the basement as well as a delightful garden house in the very spacious backyard. An ideal home for those seeking comfortable and versatile living.

Layout:
Upon entering, you arrive in the central hallway, which provides access to almost all rooms, as well as the utility cabinet containing the electrical meter and fuse box and a convenient built-in cupboard.

At the front of the property, you’ll find a spacious bedroom with a built-in wardrobe. This room is large enough to accommodate a king-size bed, a linen closet, and even a workspace, offering plenty of possibilities.

Adjacent to the bedroom is the neat bathroom, finished in timeless white with anthracite floor tiles. It features a bathtub with shower screen, a design radiator, and a vanity unit with mirrored cabinet. The bath is fitted with a thermostatic mixer tap, and the slightly lowered ceiling with recessed lighting creates a pleasant, modern atmosphere.

Opposite the bathroom is a separate toilet with a wall-mounted WC and a small sink.

The property then surprises with a generous open-plan kitchen. This space was created by combining it with the adjacent room, resulting in an exceptionally spacious and bright living area. If desired, it is easy to convert this back into an additional bedroom—this was already taken into account during the renovation.

The kitchen (2023) is modern in design, finished in a stylish olive-green color scheme combined with a speckled white composite worktop. It is equipped with various built-in appliances, including a four-burner induction hob, combi oven, and extractor hood.

The central heating boiler serves exclusively as a hot water supply, as the apartment is connected to a block heating system. The kitchen also features a built-in cupboard perfectly sized to accommodate a refrigerator.

From the kitchen, you can access the rear balcony. A few steps then lead down to the backyard, which is over 8 meters wide and 11.5 meters deep. The garden is well-maintained and child-friendly, laid out with grass, and further extended by a section of land rented from the Municipality of Amsterdam.

At the back of the garden, you’ll find the charming garden house, ideal for use as storage.

From the hallway, you also access the living room, which is located at the rear of the property and overlooks the garden. The living room and the front-facing bedroom are elegantly separated by a classic en suite layout. Authentic sliding doors form the central feature, flanked by two built-in cabinets that provide both practical storage and a distinctive character. This en suite arrangement beautifully combines atmosphere, functionality, and flexibility.

Surroundings:
The property is located in the popular and green Watergraafsmeer neighborhood in Amsterdam East. This district is known for its peaceful, spacious layout combined with a surprisingly wide range of amenities.

What makes this location special is the combination of urban living with plenty of greenery. Watergraafsmeer features broad avenues, sports fields, and parks, making it a relatively quiet and spacious residential area within Amsterdam’s ring road. Nearby you’ll find Park Frankendael and Flevopark, perfect for walking, exercising, and relaxing.

For daily amenities, the location is highly convenient. Within a short distance are several shopping streets such as Middenweg, Christiaan Huygensplein, Hogeweg, and the modern Oostpoort shopping area, offering a wide range of supermarkets, specialty shops, restaurants, and retail stores.

There are also numerous schools, childcare facilities, and sports clubs in the vicinity, making the neighborhood particularly attractive for families.

Accessibility is excellent. With tram and bus connections nearby and stations such as Amsterdam Amstel and Science Park within easy reach, both the city center and other parts of Amsterdam and beyond are easily accessible. The property also has good access to the A10 ring road by car.
