THIS UNIQUE APARTMENT, PART OF A NATIONALLY LISTED BUILDING IN THE CITY CENTRE OF AMSTERDAM, OFFERS TRULY MAGNIFICENT VIEWS OF THE SINGEL CANAL! BEHIND THE HISTORICAL FAÇADE, ON THE SECOND AND THIRD (TOP) FLOOR, YOU WILL FIND THIS APARTMENT OF 116M2 (GFA 157M2) WITH AN UNUSUAL LAYOUT AND NUMEROUS ORIGINAL DETAILS AND PERIOD FEATURES.
The building has recently been divided into apartment rights, sits on freehold land, and the top-floor windows are double-glazed. The spiral staircases, the living area with a loftlike atmosphere, the playfully designed bedrooms, the ceiling with exposed beams, and various other original features have resulted in an extraordinary residence. The extensive maintenance works carried out two years ago included the outdoor paintwork and new roofing.
The Homeowners’ Association (VvE) is yet to be established.
LAYOUT
A few stone steps lead to the shared front door that opens onto a vestibule. A narrow wooden spiral staircase leads to the apartment’s private entrance on the first floor, where an internal staircase brings you to the living area on the second floor.
The loftlike layout of this space still retains many stunning features, such as the gorgeous beamed ceiling and the large windows at the front and back. The kitchen is centrally positioned. This floor offers plenty of space to create a cosy seating area by the fireplace and a generous dining area boasting splendid views of the canal. The living area is finished with beautiful wooden flooring and has long window sills running along the four large windows at the front, which offer spectacular and unobstructed views of the Singel.
The kitchen features taupe-coloured units combined with a grey worktop. The cupboards and drawers that make up the kitchen island offer plenty of storage space. The built-in appliances include a 5-burner gas stove with a wok burner and an oven, a fridge, a freezer, a dishwasher, an extraction hood, and a microwave. On top of that, the kitchen features a practical pull-out larder unit and a high storage cupboard and a 1.5 stainless steel sink.
Another spiral staircase, made of steel with dark wooden steps, leads to a modest landing that gives access to the two generously sized and playfully designed bedrooms, both with ensuite bathrooms. The high ceilings in the bedrooms show the original wooden beams/roof construction and include mezzanines accessed by wooden stairs. Both mezzanines have a head height of 2m and are wonderful multifunctional spaces to be used as an additional sleeping area, a study, or as a storage space. Both bedroom suites have white goods connections.
The bathrooms are finished in an anthracite-white colour scheme. The first bathroom features a bath with the original wooden casing, a toilet, a washbasin, and white goods connections while the second bathroom offers a shower, a toilet, and a washbasin.
The windows on this floor are all double-glazed.
