Two-bedroom apartment on the quiet end of the Ferdinand Bolstraat, above the shops but far enough along that the market noise stays where it belongs. The living room faces the street and takes the morning sun; both bedrooms look out over the courtyard behind, which is where you notice how quiet the building is for its address. The kitchen was replaced around ten years ago and works well enough that a buyer could leave it alone. Original 1931 windows at the front, double-glazed at the back. Energy label C, which for a building of this age tells you the roof and the back wall have been done and the front has not.

Bright double-upper apartment in the heart of the canal belt, with original nineteenth-century details, high ceilings and a south-facing living room overlooking the water. The building was fully renovated in 2019 while retaining the ornamental plasterwork, panelled doors and the original staircase. The living floor is arranged as one open space front to back, with tall windows on the canal side and a separate study overlooking the courtyard garden. The kitchen was replaced in 2021 with integrated appliances and a stone worktop. Two bedrooms sit on the upper floor, both with fitted wardrobes, alongside a bathroom with walk-in shower and underfloor heating. Parking is available via the municipal permit scheme, and the Westerkerk, Noordermarkt and the Jordaan cafés are all within a few minutes on foot.

Energy-efficient apartment with a west-facing balcony, a few steps from Oostpark and the lively stretch of cafés, delis and independent shops along the Javastraat. Built in 2018 to a high insulation standard, the apartment carries an A energy label and low monthly service charges. The open-plan living area connects to a fitted kitchen with induction hob and dishwasher; both bedrooms are quiet, facing the inner courtyard rather than the street. The building has a lift, secure bicycle storage and a shared roof terrace. Tram 14 is a two-minute walk and Amsterdam Muiderpoort station is under ten minutes by bike.

The VvE is active and the reserve fund is healthy, which is not something you can say of every building along here.
