The fully equipped kitchen features a large oven, an induction cooktop with range hood, a refrigerator with a separate freezer, a dishwasher, and ample counter space. A serving hatch provides a direct connection to the dining room. There is also a spacious guest bathroom on this floor with connections for a washing machine and dryer.

The Building
The building was designed in 1925 by architect Robert Soebert in the Art Deco style. The white natural stone facade, the handcrafted wrought-iron details, and the common entrance hall with marble accents reflect this history.
A photography studio is located on the ground floor; the apartments are on the floors above. The building also features private storage units, an elevator starting on the first floor, a shared bicycle storage area, and an intercom system.

The apartment is located in Zurenborg, within walking distance of Draakplaats and Dageraadplaats. Bars, restaurants, shops, and neighborhood parks are nearby.
