Description

Charming, light-filled two-story apartment with lift, roof terrace, and canal views – 80m² (GFA 106m²). This characteristic and charming two-story apartment of 80m² (gross floor area 106m²), complete with lift access and a cozy 6m² roof terrace, is located on the third and fourth floors of a beautiful 1860s building that was completely renovated in 2002, including its foundation. The property is situated on freehold land and has been designated a Municipal Monument.

This delightful upper-level apartment is part of a well-maintained building known as “De Leidsche Prins”, which is listed as UNESCO World Heritage. The building boasts a historic façade and features an elevator that reaches the apartment. One of the home’s key highlights is the abundant natural light on the living floor and the stunning original roof structure on the upper level, which offers access to the rooftop terrace with breathtaking views over the rooftops of Amsterdam’s city center.

The homeowners' association (VvE) “De Leidsche Prins” consists of 5 members and is self-managed. The monthly service charges are €170.

Layout
Through the communal entrance, you can reach the apartment via stairs or elevator. The private entrance is located on the third floor. A spacious open hallway offers room for a coat area and includes a custom-built workspace with a Velux skylight. A separate toilet is also located here.

The living room, located at the front of the apartment, features three large windows with sweeping views over the Prinsengracht canal. At the rear is the open-plan kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is designed in an L-shape with off-white cabinets and drawers, complemented by a wooden countertop, and includes mostly built-in appliances.

A custom-built wide cupboard connects the front and rear of the floor. Adjacent is a large storage space housing the central heating system and washing machine connection.

A stylish open staircase at the front leads to the upper-level sleeping floor, also the top floor of the building. There are two good-sized bedrooms, one at the front and one at the rear. The front bedroom is slightly elevated and includes floor-to-ceiling custom wardrobes on both sides. The rear bedroom is accessible via a sliding door and offers access to the cozy 6m² roof terrace—a perfect spot to enjoy stunning views of the city’s rooftops.

In the center of this floor is a spacious landing with a Velux skylight, a wide custom-built wardrobe, and access to the bathroom, which features a bathtub, separate shower, wooden vanity unit, and toilet. A pleasant detail: the bathroom also has two wide windows, allowing in plenty of natural light.

The living floor is fitted with light oak flooring, while the kitchen has dark anthracite floor tiles. The upper sleeping floor is carpeted in a warm brown tone.

Location & Accessibility
The apartment is located in central Amsterdam, between the Leidsestraat and Nieuwe Spiegelstraat. Major landmarks such as the Museumquarter, Leidseplein, and various shopping streets are within walking distance. The neighborhood is known for its variety of shops, charming cafés, upscale restaurants, and numerous galleries spread throughout the canal belt.

For nightlife, Leidseplein and Rembrandtplein are only 5 minutes away. The Central Station, tram, bus, and metro lines, along with main access roads, provide excellent connectivity.

The Prinsengracht is the third and outermost of Amsterdam’s three main canals. Together, these canals form the city’s "Fourth Expansion", a major urban development project initiated in 1612 and completed 50 years later. Upon completion, the city had quadrupled in size. In the 17th century, Amsterdam’s population grew from 50,000 to 200,000, making it the third-largest city in the world at the time, after London and Paris. In 2009, the Amsterdam canal ring was added to the UNESCO World Heritage List.
