Location and accessibility

Grote Bickersstraat is part of the characteristic Western Islands, located on the western side of Amsterdam’s city centre. This area combines the tranquillity and distinctive waterside character of the islands with the vibrancy of city life. The surroundings are characterised by historic buildings, canals and quays, atmospheric streets and a wide variety of restaurants and cafés. At the same time, all the amenities of the city centre are within easy reach.

For everyday shopping, various shops and supermarkets can be found nearby. There is also no need to go far for a coffee, lunch or dinner. Haarlemmerstraat and Haarlemmerdijk are just a short bike ride away and offer an extensive selection of shops, specialist stores, restaurants and cafés. Westerdok and the Jordaan are also easily accessible.

The location is particularly convenient for commuting. Amsterdam Central Station is approximately 1.5 kilometres away, providing easy access to train, tram, metro and bus connections. By bicycle, you can reach the historic city centre and Dam Square within just a few minutes, while the main roads towards the A10 motorway are also easily accessible.

The Western Islands are known for their distinctive atmosphere: peaceful and village-like by the water, while the vibrant city centre is literally just around the corner. It is precisely this combination that makes Grote Bickersstraat an attractive location for those looking to live centrally in Amsterdam without having the hustle and bustle of the city centre directly on their doorstep.

Layout

The entrance at the front opens into the surprisingly spacious kitchen. The kitchen has a contemporary, slightly industrial feel, featuring a beautiful green natural stone worktop and plenty of workspace and storage. Large windows at the front allow an abundance of daylight to enter. The kitchen also creates a pleasant connection between the entrance and the living room.

A few steps higher, the living room is situated at the rear of the property. The difference in levels creates a playful layout and a natural separation between cooking, dining and relaxing, while keeping the spaces connected. Thanks to the wide windows, the living room is wonderfully bright. The flooring, calm colour palette and abundance of natural light create a warm and inviting living space.

A staircase leads to the first floor, where there are two generously sized rooms. The bedroom at the front is spacious enough for a double bed and benefits from large windows, allowing plenty of natural light to enter. At the other end of the floor is another spacious room, currently used as a home office and dressing room. Thanks to its generous size and natural light, this room could easily be used as a second bedroom, hobby room or guest room. Between the two rooms is the landing, with access to the bathroom. The bathroom is compact and practical, featuring a walk-in shower, toilet and washbasin, with the green natural stone beautifully incorporated here as well.

A basement is located beneath the property and provides useful additional storage space. It also has connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
