Largely renovated in 2025 – bright and stylish 3-bedroom duplex apartment (122m² NFA / 145m² GFA) with two south-facing balconies and a roof terrace, overlooking the Jacob van Lennep Canal. This beautifully light and modern duplex apartment of 122m² (gross floor area 145m²), mostly renovated in 2025, offers a spacious living floor, three bedrooms, two south-facing balconies, and a rooftop terrace. The home enjoys stunning, unobstructed views over the water of the Jacob van Lennep Canal. It occupies the third and fourth floors of a charming building dating from 1899, situated on freehold land.
The homeowners' association, named "VvE Jacob van Lennepkade 153", consists of 4 apartments and is professionally managed. Monthly service charges are €337.75, and a multi-year maintenance plan is in place.
LAYOUT
Access to the apartment is via a central entrance and a well-maintained, carpeted staircase leading to the second floor, where the private entrance is located. From the hallway with meter cupboard, an internal staircase leads to the upper floors.
The living area is entirely located on the top floor and has an almost loft-like feel, thanks to its through-living layout and windows on multiple sides. The spacious lounge is at the front, while the generously sized open-plan kitchen is at the rear.
The kitchen features sleek white high-gloss cabinetry combined with a wooden worktop framed with stainless steel. A nice detail is the kitchen island with bar seating and extra storage. Along the wall is the sink and cooking area with various built-in appliances. French doors lead to the sunny south-facing terrace of 6m², fully decked in wood and overlooking the green inner courtyards.
From the kitchen, a small hallway leads to a separate toilet. An open wooden staircase and a skylight provide access to the 15m² rooftop terrace. Like the terrace below, it is fully decked with wood and offers panoramic views over the city. The terrace is spacious enough for both lounge and dining areas.
A carpeted staircase from the living floor leads down to the sleeping quarters on the third floor. All rooms are accessible from the hallway, where you'll also find a coat closet and a second separate toilet.
The master bedroom is located at the rear and offers enough space for a double bed and a wall of wardrobes. French doors open onto a private 3m² balcony facing south. Also at the rear is a separate dressing room, which houses the central heating system and laundry connections.
The two other bedrooms are at the front, both of a good size. The left bedroom features French doors opening to a French balcony with views over the canal.
The centrally located bathroom is spacious and, like the two toilets, features anthracite floor tiles combined with white wall tiles accented with a dark trim. It includes a bathtub, walk-in shower, two sinks each with its own mirror, and a heated towel rail.
The apartment is finished with a beautiful oak floor, mostly double-glazed window frames, smooth plastered walls and ceilings, and elegantly carpeted staircases.

The apartment is quietly located on Jacob van Lennepkade, just around the corner from Jan Pieter Heijestraat, in a lively part of Amsterdam Oud-West. Surrounded by Overtoom, the Ten Katemarkt, the Foodhallen, and Vondelpark. Oud-West borders the city center and is one of Amsterdam’s most beloved neighborhoods, full of trendy shops, popular restaurants, cozy cafés, and nightlife. Vondelpark is close by for relaxation, and there are several supermarkets and specialty stores nearby for daily groceries.
