Charming Amsterdam canal apartment fully renovated in 2025 with balcony and Energy Label A
Key Features
Description
This delightful apartment is situated on the first floor of a characteristic corner building from 1888, positioned at the intersection of two iconic Amsterdam canals: the Leidsegracht and the Lijnbaansgracht. The property offers 63 square meters of living space and has been completely renovated in 2025, presenting itself in an excellent state of maintenance with high-quality finishes throughout.
The layout comprises two generously sized bedrooms, a bright living room, a modern open kitchen, and a luxurious bathroom. The spacious living room serves as the heart of this home, where large window panels flood the space with natural light and provide beautiful views over the canal. The room features a high-quality oak floor with integrated underfloor heating, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere year-round. From the living room, you have access to the balcony where you can sit outside and enjoy the picturesque canal views in comfort.
The open kitchen has been tastefully designed with a stone countertop and is equipped with high-quality built-in appliances. A Quooker instant hot water tap is included for convenience. The washing machine has been neatly integrated into a cabinet, keeping the space organized. Both the living room and the master bedroom are equipped with ceiling fans, providing additional comfort during warmer months.
The master bedroom is well-proportioned and offers direct access to the balcony, making it a peaceful retreat with water views. The second bedroom is also comfortably sized and can serve various purposes such as a home office, studio, or guest room.
The bathroom features a luxury finish with floor-to-ceiling tiling, quality fixtures, an elegant sink with vanity unit, and a spacious walk-in shower. Underfloor heating ensures comfort in this space as well. In the hallway, there is a separate toilet with a small hand basin. The heat pump and central heating system are also located in this area.
Energy performance is excellent thanks to comprehensive improvements made during the renovation. Triple-glazed windows provide optimal insulation and significant noise reduction from the city. The entire apartment features underfloor heating powered by a new Remeha hybrid heat pump installed in 2025. The property holds Energy Label A, reflecting its very efficient energy performance.
Smart home features have been integrated, allowing control of most appliances and the heating system via smartphone and WiFi. This modern technology adds convenience to daily life.
The apartment is located on own ground, which means freehold ownership of the land. This is a notable advantage in Amsterdam where ground lease arrangements are common. The monthly VvE contribution amounts to 174 euros and covers professional management, building maintenance, building insurance, and reserve funds. The VvE is properly registered and organized with annual meetings and a maintenance plan in place.
A shared storage room is available on the ground floor, ideal for bicycle storage.
The location in the heart of historic Amsterdam offers excellent access to a wide range of facilities. Within walking distance, you will find numerous charming cafes, restaurants, and popular venues. Well-known spots in the vicinity include Cafe Pieper, restaurant Sinck, and Cafe de Koe. The Negen Straatjes area, with its distinctive boutiques and eateries, is also close by. For a cultural evening out, Leidseplein, Paradiso, and Melkweg are within easy reach. The Museumplein, home to several major museums, is also nearby.
For recreation and green spaces, both the Vondelpark and the charming canals and courtyard gardens of the Jordaan neighborhood are within walking distance. Daily amenities are well-served with various supermarkets and specialty shops nearby.
Accessibility is excellent with multiple tram and bus connections available directly at your doorstep. The bus station on Marnixstraat offers a direct connection to Schiphol Airport. The central railway station and the Zuidas business district are easily reachable by bicycle.
This property is being offered in move-in ready condition and can be taken over immediately after consultation.
