Description
Sublime Loft-Style Penthouse of 98 m² in One of Amsterdam's Most Iconic Buildings. This exceptional loft-style penthouse of 98 m² is located in one of the most iconic buildings in Amsterdam, featuring an elevator and breathtaking panoramic views over the Damrak canal and the monumental Amsterdam Central Station, Victoria Hotel, and the Beurs van Berlage. The freehold property is situated on the second floor, on the quiet side of the "De Eenhoorn" residence. This national monument, dating from 1740, has been fully restored. The trendy apartment is accessible by elevator-a rare feature in a historic building. Thanks to excellent insulation and abundant natural light, this comfortable home offers the best of both worlds: an oasis of peace in the vibrant heart of the city, with all amenities within walking distance.
Layout
Via an impressive communal entrance on the ground floor, you reach the second floor where this stylish and spacious apartment is located. The generous living room exudes warmth and comfort, featuring a beautiful fireplace, a charming wooden floor, double glazing at the front, and a wide window wall with casement windows that allow in abundant light. The luxurious open kitchen is equipped with all modern built-in appliances and forms the heart of the home-ideal for intimate dinners and casual drinks.
There are two full-sized bedrooms with characteristic wooden beams and ample space for a double bed and wardrobes. The bathroom is modern and tastefully finished with large concrete-look tiles, a whirlpool bathtub, a spacious walk-in rain shower with spray function, and a double sink. Additionally, there is a separate laundry room and a separate toilet. A private bicycle storage room provides practical additional storage space.
This apartment combines luxury, space, and character in a unique location and is completely move-in ready. The entire space is imbued with a warm ambiance, enhanced by the stunning historic beams. From the expansive living room and kitchen, you'll enjoy fantastic views over Central Station, the Victoria Hotel, the Damrak, and the water. It's a place where you can truly spend hours admiring the view.
Historical Significance
This remarkable building appears in many historical prints and paintings and is still frequently featured on postcards and in advertisements that represent Amsterdam. The house bears the city's oldest illustrated house name ("Den Witten Hond"), already mentioned in a deed of transfer from 1456, when it was owned by mayor Jan Beth Jansz. The property is located in the historic city center, directly by the Damrak waterfront, where VOC ships once docked. Inside the apartment, you'll experience a peaceful haven. Yet, the monumental front door opens directly onto the bustling start of Warmoesstraat. Shops, a variety of restaurants, bars, and nightlife are all within immediate reach.
Surroundings
Living in the heart of historic Amsterdam means being surrounded by culture, charm, and character. The apartment is located on one of the city's oldest and most authentic streets, defined by monumental buildings and picturesque alleyways. Within walking distance are numerous landmarks such as Dam Square with the Royal Palace, the lively Rokin, the characterful Nine Streets, and the vibrant Nieuwmarkt square. For fashion and luxury enthusiasts, the iconic department store De Bijenkorf is just minutes away, as are Kalverstraat and the exclusive Magna Plaza. Warmoesstraat offers many high-quality and atmospheric dining spots. Start your day with an excellent coffee at Sweet Cup, a popular café with homemade treats. For a cozy drink, Café The Queen's Head is a beloved and characterful spot. Enjoy stylish dining at Mata Hari, known for its creative cuisine and warm ambiance.
Accessibility

Cycling is highly convenient here as well: all key amenities, sights, and shopping streets are just a short ride away. For car travelers, the A10, A2, and A4 highways are easily accessible via the IJ Tunnel and Piet Hein Tunnel. Parking is available in nearby garages such as Parking Centrum Oosterdok.
