Description

Characteristic, bright and charming duplex apartment of 80 m² (gross floor area 106 m²) with a cozy 6 m² roof terrace. The property is located on the third and fourth floors of a beautiful building dating from 1860, which was fully renovated in 2002 (including the foundation). The property is situated on freehold land.

This charming upper-level apartment is part of a well-maintained building called “De Leidsche Prins.” The property is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site and features a historic façade. What makes this home special is the abundance of natural light on the living floor and the stunning original roof structure on the top floor, which also provides access to the roof terrace with fantastic views over the rooftops of the city center.

The homeowners’ association (VvE), called “De Leidsche Prins,” consists of 5 members and is self-managed. The service charges for this apartment are €170 per month.

LAYOUT
Via the shared entrance, you reach the apartment by stairs. The entrance to the apartment is on the third floor. The spacious open hallway offers room for a wardrobe and includes a custom-built workspace with a Velux skylight. A separate toilet is also located here.

The living room is situated at the front of the apartment and, with its three wide windows, offers expansive views over the Prinsengracht canal. At the rear is the kitchen-diner with space for a dining area. The kitchen has an L-shaped layout and features off-white cabinets and drawers combined with a wooden countertop. It is largely equipped with built-in appliances.

The open space between the front and rear includes a wide custom-built storage cabinet. There is also a spacious storage room housing the central heating system and a washing machine connection.

The open staircase at the front leads to the upper sleeping level, which is also the top floor of the building. There is a good-sized bedroom at both the front and rear. The front bedroom is slightly elevated and features floor-to-ceiling built-in wardrobes on both sides. The rear bedroom is accessible via a sliding door and provides access to the cozy 6 m² roof terrace, offering fantastic views over the city center rooftops.

The middle section of this floor consists of a spacious landing with a Velux skylight, a wide custom-built wardrobe, and access to the bathroom. The bathroom is fully finished in white and includes a bathtub, separate shower, wooden vanity unit, and toilet. A pleasant detail is the presence of two large windows in the bathroom.

The living floor has a light oak wooden floor, except for the kitchen, which has anthracite tiles. The sleeping floor is fully carpeted in a brown color scheme.

LOCATION & ACCESSIBILITY
The apartment is located in the center of Amsterdam, between Leidsestraat and Nieuwe Spiegelstraat. The prestigious Museum Quarter, Leidseplein, and various shopping streets are all within walking distance. The neighborhood is characterized by a wide variety of shops, cozy, trendy, and exclusive cafés and restaurants, and numerous galleries spread throughout the canal belt.

For larger clubs and bars, you can reach Leidseplein or Rembrandtplein within 5 minutes. The proximity of Central Station, various tram, bus, and metro connections, as well as major roads, ensures excellent accessibility.

The Prinsengracht is the third and outermost of Amsterdam’s three main canals. Together, these canals form the “Fourth Expansion” of the city, a project that began in 1612 and was completed 50 years later. After completion, the city had grown fourfold. During the 17th century, Amsterdam’s population increased from 50,000 to 200,000 inhabitants, making it the third-largest city in the world at the time, after London and Paris. In 2009, Amsterdam’s canal belt was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list.

PARKING
Paid parking applies on public roads, as well as a permit system. According to the Municipality of Amsterdam (as of April 7, 2026), there is currently a waiting list for a parking permit (permit area Centrum-2f).
