Living on a canal is often associated with the bustling and expensive historic center of Amsterdam. However, this listing offers a unique opportunity to enjoy the waterfront lifestyle in the quieter yet vibrant Admiralenbuurt in Amsterdam West. This three room apartment is situated on the second floor of a characteristic building dating back to 1925. The property is located on the wide Admiralengracht, providing residents with a beautiful and unobstructed view over the water and the green banks.
