Looking for a peaceful, green living environment while keeping all amenities—and the vibrant heart of Amsterdam—within easy reach? This charming apartment, located in the distinctive "De Gouden Leeuw" complex, offers the best of both worlds! Situated within the lush J. van Stigtpark, you can enjoy a pleasant, tranquil setting every single day. At the same time, the Ganzenhoef metro station is just a five-minute walk away, connecting you to the center of Amsterdam in approximately 20 minutes.
The apartment spans an area of about 52 m² and features a well-thought-out layout, including a spacious living room with an open-plan kitchen, a practical utility room, and a generous bedroom that has been cleverly divided into two separate areas—perfect for those needing an extra sleeping space, a home office, or a hobby room. The covered, southwest-facing balcony completes the package, providing a wonderful spot to relax and take in the green surroundings, even while enjoying the evening sun.
An added bonus: the ground lease (erfpacht) has been bought out in perpetuity!
The complex and its surroundings
The striking "De Gouden Leeuw" residential complex is nestled in the heart of the green and vibrant J. van Stigtpark. Its unique architecture has earned it the status of a municipal monument. It is a truly one-of-a-kind living environment where greenery, open space, and urban convenience come together.
For your daily groceries, you can easily walk to the Ganzenpoort shopping center, which also hosts a lively market every Saturday, offering a variety of fresh products. The Amsterdamse Poort shopping center and the Arena area are also just a short distance away. Here, you can enjoy extensive shopping, have a pleasant lunch, or plan an evening out at venues including Pathé, AFAS Live, and the Ziggo Dome.
With the Ganzenhoef metro station just a five-minute walk away, you can easily travel toward Amsterdam Central via metro line 53. Major roads such as the A9, A2, and A10 are also conveniently accessible.
Layout
Access the third floor—where the apartment is located—via the entrance to the third tower, using either the elevator or the stairs.
Upon entering, you are immediately struck by the inviting atmosphere and practical layout. The spacious living room flows into an open-plan kitchen, offering plenty of scope to create a comfortable seating and dining area.
The open kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances, including a refrigerator, freezer, gas hob, and oven. Adjoining this is a convenient utility room with space for a washing machine, as well as storage for groceries and household items.
Large sliding glass doors allow an abundance of natural light to fill the space and provide a seamless transition to the covered balcony. Facing southwest, this balcony is the perfect spot to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun. The green view overlooking the park adds an extra layer of tranquility to the space.
The generously sized bedroom is practically divided into two distinct areas: the sleeping zone—complete with a wardrobe—and an additional space that could serve perfectly as a home office, guest room, or a second sleeping area. The bathroom is situated at the front of the apartment and includes a bathtub, toilet, and washbasin.
Additionally, there is a communal storage area located in the building's lower level. There is plenty of space to park outside at the complex (parking permit can be requested) and inside in the garage. There is also the possibility to rent a parking space in the closed garage.
