Description
For sale in Amsterdam Centre (Grachtengordel Zuid):
Apartments with these specifications in the beloved Amstelveldbuurt rarely come on the market. Located on the fifth (top) floor of an imposing Municipal Monument—with an elevator, roof terrace, balcony, and a panoramic view over the entire city—this is truly a unique and durable apartment.
The building itself was constructed in 1912 on behalf of Rath & Doodeheefver, the largest wallpaper company in Europe. The imposing monumental entrance hall has remained completely intact and lends great allure to the property.
Inside, the apartment features a living area of approximately 109 m², a roof terrace and balcony with a combined area of around 38 m², two spacious bedrooms, and a large storage room in the basement (approximately 13 m²). Furthermore, the property is situated on private hold (no lease hold) and due to the good insulation, the apartment has an energylabel A.
SURROUNDINGS:
This particularly beautiful national monument is located on the Prinsengracht, near the corner with the Reguliersgracht (known as "the point of the seven bridges") and Amstelveld. In the immediate vicinity you will find the famous Utrechtsestraat, with numerous delightful and well-known shops and cozy establishments.
There are also many attractive, high-quality dining venues, museums, and attractions nearby. Rembrandtplein and the Amstel are literally just around the corner, and the lively atmosphere of De Pijp is only a 5-minute bike ride away.
Accessibility by car and public transport is excellent. There are stops for various tram lines and two metro stations within walking distance (Noord/Zuidlijn and Waterlooplein). The A10 ring road and several main routes are easily accessible, and ample parking is available through a permit system as well as several parking garages within walking distance.
LAYOUT:
A stately entrance on the ground floor of the building—with a marble floor, wooden wall panels, and access to the elevator, staircase, and storage areas—leads to the apartment’s entrance on the fifth floor. The spacious central hall provides access to all rooms.
The living room and bedrooms are all situated at the front of the building, offering an exceptionally wide view of Amsterdam’s inner city. With an area of approximately 52 m², the living room with open kitchen provides plenty of space for a generous sitting and dining area. The open kitchen was installed in 2010 and is equipped with all conceivable appliances.
Both bedrooms are very spacious, with the master bedroom adjoining the cozy and sunny balcony, which faces southwest. From the balcony, you can enjoy a beautiful view over the Prinsengracht. Centrally located in the apartment are the bathroom and a separate toilet with a small sink. The bathroom features a double sink unit, a walk-in shower, and a bathtub, and it adjoins the boiler and laundry room.
The roof terrace is accessible via the main staircase and offers a truly unique setting. With views ranging from the Rijksmuseum to the Adam Tower and from Carré to the Pontsteiger, the entire city is visible.
