Spacious Apartment in 18th Century Monumental Warehouse with Characteristic Beamed Ceiling

Located in the heart of Amsterdam, this spacious apartment offers a unique living experience in a monumental warehouse dating back to the eighteenth century. The property is situated at Koggestraat 5-D in the Hemelrijk area of Amsterdam, a location that combines historical charm with modern city living convenience. The apartment has a total living area of 81 square meters, measured according to the NEN2580 standard, which is a generous size for a central Amsterdam apartment. The entire space is situated on one floor, specifically the second living level of the building, accessible via a well-maintained staircase. The entrance to the apartment is located at the rear side of the building, facing the Teerketelsteeg, which provides a sense of privacy and tranquility despite the central location. Upon entering the apartment, you are welcomed into a central hallway that provides access to all rooms in the residence. This practical layout ensures that the living spaces remain undisturbed. The hallway offers ample space for a coat rack or wardrobe, and houses the meter cupboard as well as a separate toilet room. This separate guest toilet is a convenient feature that adds to the functionality of the apartment. The living room is particularly spacious, measuring 36 square meters, and features an open kitchen layout that creates a contemporary and sociable living environment. Three large windows in the living room provide an attractive view of the Dominicuskerk, a notable church in the area. The natural light streaming through these windows enhances the spacious feel of the room. The ceiling height under the characteristic beams is 2.30 meters, which contributes to the authentic atmosphere of the warehouse while maintaining comfortable proportions. The kitchen was completely renovated two years ago and therefore features modern built-in appliances that meet contemporary standards. The open connection with the living room makes this an ideal space for cooking and entertaining simultaneously. The bathroom is finished with classic marble tiles, giving the space an elegant and timeless appearance. The bathroom is equipped with a large bathtub and a vanity unit, providing a comfortable space for relaxation and personal care. Behind the bathroom, there is a built-in closet that houses the washing machine connection and the central heating boiler. This clever use of space keeps the utility functions out of sight while remaining easily accessible. The bedroom is an impressive 25 square meters in size, which is unusually large for an apartment in this part of Amsterdam. This bedroom includes a built-in closet for clothing storage. According to the listing, this bedroom can be easily converted into two separate bedrooms, which offers flexibility for different living arrangements. Whether you need a home office, a guest room, or a second bedroom, this space can be adapted to suit your needs. The building itself is a national monument from the eighteenth century, which means it is protected as part of the historic cityscape. This status contributes to the unique character of the property and ensures that the historical features of the building are preserved. The roof is a gable roof covered with tiles, which is typical for this type of historic warehouse building. An important financial aspect of this property is that it is located on owned ground, meaning there is no leasehold (erfpacht). This is a significant advantage in Amsterdam where many properties are subject to leasehold, as it eliminates periodic leasehold payments and provides full ownership certainty. The property is part of an active Homeowners Association (VvE) that has a maintenance reserve fund. The monthly service costs are 85 euros, which is relatively modest for a monument building in this location. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce (KvK) and has building insurance in place. It should be noted that there is currently no maintenance plan in place, and annual meetings are not being held according to the checklist, which potential buyers may want to inquire about. In the basement of the building, there is a communal bicycle storage area, which is a practical feature for residents in the center of Amsterdam where bicycle parking can be challenging. The apartment has double glazing throughout, which contributes to energy efficiency and noise reduction. Additionally, there is floor insulation. The central heating system is a gas-fired combi boiler from 2020 that is owned by the current owner, meaning it is relatively new and should provide reliable heating for years to come. The energy label is not mandatory for this property due to its monument status. Mechanical ventilation is present in the apartment, and there is a TV cable connection available. The WOZ value for tax year 2026 is 653,000 euros, which provides an indication of the municipal property valuation. The asking price is 550,000 euros, which translates to approximately 6,790 euros per square meter. The location of this apartment is one of its strongest features. The Koggestraat runs from the Singel to the Kattengat and the Spuistraat on the so-called Nieuwezijde of the old city center. The property is directly adjacent to the beautiful Koepelkerk. Everything that makes living in Amsterdam so pleasant can be found within walking distance. The shops of the Nieuwendijk, the restaurants and cafes of the Haarlemmerstraat, and the Noordermarkt in the Jordaan are all easily accessible on foot. Amsterdam Central Station is also within walking distance of the property, making this an excellent location for commuters. Parking in the area is through paid public parking and parking permits, which is standard for the city center of Amsterdam. The property is available for immediate occupancy and is currently listed as available on the housing market. The apartment offers a rare combination of historical character, generous space, and a prime central location in one of Europe's most desirable cities.
