Come on in and be pleasantly surprised!

Surroundings:
Situated in the popular Indische Buurt in Amsterdam East, you’ll find this bright and well-laid-out corner apartment on the car-free Benkoelenstraat. The apartment is part of a block that was completely renovated in 2005 and designed by the renowned architect Berlage.

The neighborhood has undergone significant transformation in recent years, with many new amenities added—making it an even more enjoyable place to live. For relaxation and entertainment, you’re just steps away from a variety of trendy cafés and restaurants, such as Bar Basquiat, Drovers Dog, Walters, Studio K, Wilde Zwijnen, and of course, Brouwerij 't IJ.

Daily shopping is convenient with several supermarkets nearby, along with the bustling Dappermarkt. The area also offers two city parks (Oosterpark and Flevopark) and the Oostpoort shopping center. Public transport is excellent, with tram and bus stops around the corner and Muiderpoort Station just a few minutes' walk away. The A10 ring road is reachable within 8 minutes by car, and street parking is available via a permit system. In short: a fantastic place to call home!

Layout:
Access the apartment via the communal staircase to this bright ground-floor corner unit in a beautiful national monument building. You enter through a central hallway that connects all areas of the home.

From the hallway, you walk into the spacious living and dining room, beautifully positioned on the corner where Benkoelenstraat and Javastraat meet. The abundance of windows and the pleasant view onto Javastraat immediately give the apartment a bright and open feel.

The kitchen is accessible from the living room and features white finishes with a 4-burner gas stove, extractor hood, sink, fridge, and connections for white goods. This space also offers the perfect opportunity to create a second bedroom—see our alternative floor plan for inspiration.

A patio door from the kitchen provides access to the lush, communal courtyard—an absolute gem during the summer months.

The current bedroom is located off the living room and overlooks the street.

The bathroom, adjacent to the hall near the entrance, is also finished in white tones and equipped with a sink, walk-in shower, and toilet.

This well-maintained building is a joy to return to each day—experience it for yourself with a visit!

The Complex:
The complex is a designated national monument (1911–1915) and underwent full renovation in 2005. Berlage’s original style and color palette were carefully preserved during the renovation. Window frames were replaced, double glazing was installed, and acoustic insulation was added to the floors.

Owners’ Association (VvE):
This is a financially healthy and active association, professionally managed by “My Place” VvE Management. The association consists of 63 members and has a solid financial position. A multi-year maintenance plan is in place, and monthly service costs are €199.08. There are plans to renew the roof in the near future.

The property is located on municipal leasehold land, which has been bought off perpetually—ideal!
