Schuberts Allegro
We oversee the sale of a diverse range of properties. As a real estate agent, this variety is very challenging and contributes to the understanding of the overall housing market in Amsterdam. We are delighted when we come across a property that surprises us. This was also the case with this apartment. From the moment we entered, we were pleasantly surprised, and this impression was confirmed throughout the apartment. We are well acquainted with the dynamics of the neighborhood, and the amenities are good. We often cycle past the building, and at first glance, it is not apparent how special this building is. Due to the unique shape of the plot, which is also reflected in the apartment, this home has a surprisingly pleasant layout and beautiful sightlines. We acknowledge that this apartment is very spacious and has retained its grandeur. What I particularly like about the apartment is the tranquility you experience inside, despite being just around the corner from the lively atmosphere of Beethovenstraat. That is surprising. Additionally, there are the two balconies, each offering a quality outdoor space, especially thanks to the beautiful views over the green inner garden and the Stadionweg. If you are interested, we would be happy to invite you to visit and experience the qualities for yourself.

Architecture
The apartment is part of a building block located on Beethovenstraat, Stadionweg, and Schubertstraat. The complex was built as a single entity and encompasses seven plots, providing space for fifteen spacious apartments. Schubertstraat 40 is now a separate building with its own homeowners’ association (VVE). The complex was built in 1931 under the direction of architect Izaäk Blomhert. Little is known about this architect, as he mainly worked in the background. He gained some recognition shortly after World War II with the renovation of the military hospital on Sarphatistraat in Amsterdam. Later, he mostly designed residences in Slotermeer and Osdorp. The complex is built in the Amsterdam School style, which focuses on the exterior form, characterized by its solid and massive appearance. The ladder windows, with panes divided by numerous mullions, are a distinctive feature, clearly visible in the frames. Another striking detail of the building is the high brick plinth, executed in a darker brick compared to the rest of the building. Internally, the imposing staircase with a central lift and light well is a unique element, rarely seen in this type of building. Furthermore, the building adheres to Berlage’s urban planning principles, which prescribed that a building block on the corner of a street should accentuate a visual termination in form (extra height) and details.
Living and cooking
The third floor is accessible via the classic square staircase with a centrally located lift. The staircase is elegant and stylish, with the lift still retaining its original allure. The entire apartment is on one level and approximately 256 m² in size. Due to its size, all the rooms are spacious. Starting with the entrance, which includes a guest toilet, leading into a hall adjacent to the light well. The living space is divided into four different rooms, all connected to each other, either directly or via the hall. Centrally located is the dining room, a bright and very pleasant space situated between the kitchen and the living room. A space that invites you to dine with friends and/or family. The Bulthaup kitchen is large enough to prepare a wonderful dinner. The Gaggenau built-in appliances will certainly contribute to this. The living room is located on the street side (Stadionweg), but it is very quiet due to the new frames fitted with HR++ glass. The authentic details, such as the original ceiling moldings, en suite doors, and parquet floor, make this space fitting for the house. The gas fireplace adds extra intimacy to this beautiful room. The study can be completely closed off from the living room and the hall. The gas fireplace, clad in natural stone and built into the wall unit, emphasizes the function of this room. A nice and again spacious room with an adjacent delightful balcony.
Sleeping and bathing
What is unique about this apartment is the separation between the living area and the sleeping quarters. The entrance hall naturally creates this division. All bedrooms are accessed via an enclosed hallway. The master bedroom can be described as very spacious, with dimensions of over 4 by 5 meters and a ceiling height of 3 meters. The adjacent balcony and dressing room complete the experience. Due to its location at the quiet rear of the building, this is a very pleasant room to stay in. The two other bedrooms are situated at the front, both of excellent size and equipped with various original built-in closets. Both bathrooms are accessible from the hallway. The main bathroom is spacious and features, among other things, a bathtub, walk-in shower, wide sink unit, and toilet. The second bathroom is equipped with a shower, toilet, double sink unit, and washing machine connection. The central heating boiler is also located in this bathroom.
The outdoor space
The apartment has a total of three balconies with a combined area of approximately 18 m². The largest balcony, approximately 7 m² in size, is accessible from the study and is located to the east. It’s a delightful spot to enjoy a cup of coffee as the sun rises or an intimate drink at the end of the day on a warm summer evening. The second balcony, around 4 m² in size, is accessed via French doors from the spacious master bedroom. This balcony faces west, but due to its open position overlooking the green inner courtyard, it provides a qualitatively sunny outdoor space. The third, also the last, balcony is accessible from the large bathroom. With a size of approximately 1 m², it will be used minimally, although it’s beneficial for ensuring good ventilation in the bathroom.
