Amstel 224 3

Amstel 224 3 | Description

Magnificently located apartment of 88m² (96m² GFA) with stunning views over the Amstel River and the H’Art Museum (formerly the Hermitage). With a width of nearly 7 meters and exposed beam ceilings of 2.7m high, this apartment radiates charm and spaciousness. The bedrooms at the rear overlook the picturesque canal gardens. The listed monumental building stands on freehold land and is equipped with a lift. The apartment was internally renovated in 2015 by the previous owners, using a light and natural color palette. The combination of the natural finish, the warm wooden flooring, the modern kitchen and bathroom, and the original historic details make this a truly special apartment in an equally unique location.

Layout

The imposing entrance door grants access to this monumental building, leading into a beautiful marble hall, from where both staircase and lift take you to the upper floor. The ceiling of the central hall partly features exquisite 18th-century paintings. Next to the lift is the private entrance to the apartment. The hallway offers ample built-in storage, the meter cupboard, and a modern separate toilet. The bright living room is situated at the front and features playful window designs, with radiator covers creating extra-deep window sills. From here, one enjoys unique panoramic views over the Amstel. The living area also features an original beamed ceiling and a fireplace. The spacious open kitchen is designed in light tones, with a ceramic sand-colored worktop. The wide cooking/washing island offers generous storage space on both sides. The kitchen is further fitted with various built-in appliances, including a 4-burner stove with double oven.
At the quiet rear are two bedrooms and a walk-in closet space. The second bedroom, currently used as a child’s room (formerly an atelier), can be opened up via folding doors. These rooms also feature radiator covers with storage and identical windows as the front, overlooking the canal gardens. The open bathroom combines anthracite floor tiles with light walls and a playful accent wall above the bathtub. It is fitted with an oval bathtub, walk-in shower, and a compact unit with oval basin. In the basement, a small communal storage space is available, primarily used as a bicycle storage.

Location & accessibility

The apartment is located in the historic city center, between the Herengracht and Keizersgracht, with magnificent views over the Amstel and a side view of the “Dutch National Opera & Ballet” and “Theater Carré.” This section of the Amstel has very little car traffic, ensuring a tranquil setting at the front. At the rear, the lush canal gardens provide a peaceful atmosphere, complete with birdsong. On both sides, excellent privacy is guaranteed. Despite this calm environment, the apartment is just steps away from the vibrant shopping and entertainment district, offering countless amenities such as shops, cafés, restaurants, and theaters. The “Hortus Botanicus” and “Artis” zoo are also nearby. Public transport and key roads are easily accessible (Central Station, IJ Tunnel, and Piet Hein Tunnel).
