This charming duplex apartment of 71m², located on the edge of the historic canal belt (gross floor area 83m²), features a private entrance from the street, two spacious bedrooms, and a southwest-facing terrace. The apartment also has a storage room in the basement. The property spans the first and second floors of a monumental building situated on its own land, just around the corner from Leidsegracht. Notably, the building was rebuilt in 1998, preserving the façade dating from 1675.
The Owners’ Association, called ‘De Leidse’, is professionally managed by VVE.nl. Annual meetings are held, and there is a maintenance plan in place.
LAYOUT
The front door with a beautifully crafted window – a sign that the previous resident was not ‘from the street’ – is on the ground floor. The private staircase takes you up to the first floor, which serves as the living floor. The spacious and bright living room has two large sliding windows at the front and one at the rear, with a characteristic wooden beam ceiling. The entire space features an oak wood floor, finished with wax. From the living room, you enter the separate kitchen at the back of the property. The kitchen has Portuguese hand-made terracotta floor tiles and is fitted with cream-colored cabinets and a white tiled countertop. Additionally, the kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances. The terrace is accessible from the kitchen, sheltered and, above all, very sunny as it faces southwest.
The broad white wooden staircase in the living room leads to the second floor. Here, you will find two spacious bedrooms with visible beams and rafters. In the front room, the old, strong hoisting beam is still in place, accessible via a hatch high in the front façade. The room is nicely lit by a wide window with carved profiles. The back bedroom, also light-filled, offers a peaceful retreat overlooking the courtyard garden. Both rooms have a beautiful beam structure in the roof. The entire floor is also fitted with a wooden floor.
Between the bedrooms are the bathroom and a separate toilet. The bathroom features sand-colored floor tiles and fully tiled white walls. It is equipped with a walk-in shower, washbasin, towel radiator, and washing machine connection. The separate toilet has a blue and white floor with a partially white-tiled wall and blue and white trim.
Above the bathroom and toilet is additional storage space, which also houses the central heating system (C.V. boiler).
In the basement of the complex there is a separate storage room.
LOCATION & ACCESSIBILITY
Lange Leidsedwarsstraat is part of the major city expansion of 1658, known as the "fourth extension." The expansion was necessary due to the exponential population growth in Amsterdam. The extension from Leidsegracht to the Amstel continued the work that had begun with the construction of the iconic canal belt. This expansion completed the famous half-circle of the city plan.
The apartment is peacefully located amidst the vibrant city, bordering Leidseplein, the Spiegelkwartier, the Jordaan, Vondelpark, and Museumplein. The area offers a variety of shops, cafés, restaurants, and entertainment venues. What’s great about this apartment on Lange Leidsedwarsstraat 22A is that all of these amenities are figuratively right next door, meaning you can enjoy the perks without the drawbacks of living directly in the center. Schools, childcare, and sports facilities are also within walking distance. Public transport is excellent, and there is a good connection to the A-10 Ring Road.
PARKING
Paid parking is in effect on the public roads, and parking is regulated by a permit system. According to information from the City of Amsterdam’s website, there is a waiting list for a parking permit (waiting list data as of June 10, 2025, permit area Centrum-2f).
