Amsterdam, Noord-Holland, Netherlands

Imagine living in one of Amsterdam's most iconic locations, overlooking the canal and the Oude Kerk, while still enjoying tranquillity in the vibrant city centre. This charming apartment extends over three floors above the Oudezijds Voorburgwal and also includes a private storage room in the basement level. A unique combination of historic character, comfort and an exceptional setting.

Layout
You enter the building through the grand entrance on the Oudezijds Voorburgwal, one of the most beautiful canals in the old city centre. The spacious staircase leads to the floor where the apartment begins. Here you enter a generous hallway with a warm and welcoming atmosphere. There is ample space for coats, and from the hallway you have access to the living room, kitchen, bathroom, separate toilet, cloakroom, the cupboard with the central heating boiler, an additional storage cupboard and the bedroom(s). The beautiful panel doors throughout the home add a luxurious and atmospheric finishing touch.

The living room is spacious and bright, characterised by three large front-facing windows. The exposed wooden ceiling beams and the wooden glass-in-lead doors from the hallway add plenty of character. There is more than enough space for a comfortable seating area as well as a cosy dining area. A French balcony adjoins the living room, offering lovely views of the canal and the historic buildings opposite. Because the surrounding buildings are spaced well apart, even more natural light enters the apartment, giving the room an open and airy feel.

The bathroom is a true place of relaxation, featuring a freestanding bathtub, a walk-in rain shower and an elegant vanity unit. The warm, large, brown-tinted wall and floor tiles give the space a chic appearance, enhanced by a radiator in a matching colour. Above the washbasin hangs a practical cabinet with built-in lighting. The bathroom was renovated in 2016, as was the separate toilet, which is finished in the same style and fitted with a wall-mounted toilet and a small washbasin for added privacy.

The central part of the apartment borders a lightwell, providing natural daylight. The kitchen is spacious and ideal for those who enjoy cooking. This modern kitchen with built-in appliances was installed in 2019. The Siemens appliances include an oven, microwave, dishwasher and a large fridge-freezer. Cooking is done on an Elica induction hob with integrated extraction. Two large windows bring in lots of light and fresh air, while the abundance of cupboard space makes it easy to store kitchenware and provisions neatly. The kitchen also contains a cupboard with the heat recovery system and the fuse box.

In the hallway is a practical built-in cupboard with washing machine connection, currently holding an AEG washing machine which will remain. Under the staircase is another convenient built-in cupboard, ideal for storing a vacuum cleaner, suitcases and other items you prefer out of sight.

At the quiet rear lies a spacious bedroom with windows on two sides and characteristic wooden ceiling beams. This room can easily be divided into two bedrooms if desired; two doors are already in place, making this straightforward. From this room you have access to a lovely loggia with French doors. Here you can sit sheltered outdoors, enjoying a beautiful view of the Oude Kerk. The wooden chest on the loggia currently serves as smart storage but can easily become a charming bench with cushions on top.

Third floor
The internal staircase leads to the next floor. The landing offers access to a large bedroom or the staircase leading further up. The bedroom on this level is bright, with windows on two sides and attractive wooden beams along the ceiling and walls. A full wall of bespoke fitted wardrobes provides abundant storage without compromising the spacious feel.

Fourth floor
Another staircase leads to the top floor: a beautiful room perfectly suited as a guest room, quiet workspace or creative studio. With windows on three sides, this room is flooded with natural light. The visible beam structure and the exceptional view of the Oude Kerk make this one of the most special spaces in the home.

Basement level
The private storage room is located in the basement level - ideal for bicycles, suitcases or other belongings you do not need every day but want to keep nearby.

In short: a remarkable apartment full of charm, spread across several floors, overlooking both the canal and the Oude Kerk, with abundant light, extensive storage and the potential to create additional bedrooms. A unique home for anyone wishing to live in one of the most enchanting locations in the heart of Amsterdam, with the city's vibrancy just around the corner yet a sense of calm as soon as you close the door behind you.

Surroundings
Living on the Oudezijds Voorburgwal means living in the oldest part of Amsterdam: monumental façades, quiet courtyards and characteristic bridges form your daily surroundings. Step outside and you can walk to the Oude Kerk, Dam Square with the Royal Palace, De Waag on Nieuwmarkt and the museum Ons' Lieve Heer op Solder.

For daily groceries, there are supermarkets and specialty shops around Nieuwmarkt and Rokin, with De Bijenkorf just a few minutes' walk away. Along Zeedijk and in the narrow alleyways you will find a wide selection of eateries, classic cafés and coffee bars, offering everything from early breakfast to late dinner. Popular nearby spots include The Lobby Nesplein, Van Stapele Koekmakerij, Ken Sushi and The Seafood Bar.

Despite being in the city centre, the canal often offers surprising tranquillity. In the mornings a boat glides past and you hear the city waking up; in the evenings the water reflects the warm lights of the historic centre. A place where history, vibrancy and comfort come together.

Accessibility
Accessibility is excellent: the metro stations Nieuwmarkt (East Line) and Rokin (North/South Line) are within walking distance, taking you to all parts of the city within minutes. Amsterdam Central Station is around a ten-minute walk or one metro stop away; from there you have direct train connections throughout the country and you can reach Schiphol Airport in approximately 15-20 minutes. Various tram and bus lines operate around Dam Square, Rokin and Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, heading towards the Museum Quarter, De Pijp, Jordaan and Oud-West. The city centre is ideal for walking or cycling; via Oosterdokskade or Spuistraat you can quickly cycle out of the city. By car, you reach the ring road via the S100/S116; parking is available in nearby garages such as Rokin and Oosterdok.
