Accessibility and Location
Tweede Helmersstraat is located in the popular Helmersbuurt in the Oud-West district of Amsterdam. This characteristic neighborhood enjoys a very central location, just west of the city center, and is known for its charming streets, historic buildings, and lively yet relatively ????? character.
The Helmersbuurt offers an attractive living environment with a wide range of amenities nearby. Within walking distance, you will find various shops, supermarkets, and restaurants. Well-known locations such as Leidseplein and Vondelpark are close by, as well as cultural hotspots like the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh Museum.
The neighborhood features a mix of young professionals and urban amenities, creating a vibrant yet pleasant residential atmosphere. Despite its central location, the area is experienced as relatively quiet compared to busier streets such as Overtoom or Nassaukade.
In terms of accessibility, the location is excellent. The property is within cycling distance of Amsterdam’s city center and within walking distance of daily amenities. Public transport is widely available, with several tram and bus connections nearby. Major train stations such as Amsterdam Central Station and Amsterdam Zuid are also just a few kilometers away. The property is easily accessible by car as well: the A10 ring road can be reached within minutes, providing quick connections to the rest of the Randstad. Parking is available via a permit system.
Layout
Ground floor:
Through your private entrance on the ground floor, you enter the property. You arrive in a vestibule, after which the long central hallway provides access to all rooms on this level. The hallway also includes a separate toilet.
At the front is the living room, featuring beautiful built-in cabinets. Large windows with stained glass provide stunning natural light and enhance the authentic atmosphere. The original fireplace forms a stylish centerpiece of the room. Adjacent, separated by sliding doors, is the dining room. Here too, you will find a characteristic fireplace and built-in cabinets. Thanks to the French doors, there is plenty of daylight, and in summer a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living is created. Both rooms are spacious and can be used either as an open or separate layout.
The open kitchen adjoins the dining room and is slightly elevated, creating a playful and spacious effect. The kitchen is finished in dark oak and equipped with floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinets and appliances, including a double oven, refrigerator, freezer, dishwasher, induction hob with integrated extraction, and a Quooker tap.
Through the dining room, French doors lead to the exceptionally large and, for this location, unique backyard. The garden faces southeast and therefore enjoys plenty of sunlight. Directly adjacent to the house is a covered terrace, ideal for long summer evenings and outdoor dining. The backyard, approximately 50 m² in size, offers ample possibilities for further design and use.
First floor:
Via the staircase in the hallway, you reach the sleeping quarters. Under the stairs, there is a practical built-in storage cupboard. On the landing, you will find a second separate toilet.
At the front are two bedrooms. The first is spacious and features a French balcony. The second room is ideal as a child’s room, office, or study. At the rear are two additional bedrooms, including a generous third bedroom with French doors leading to a balcony.
