Elegant Corner Upper House on Nassaukade with Canal Views
Key Features
Upsides
- The property is situated on freehold land, meaning there is no ground lease (erfpacht) to pay.
- The location on the Nassaukade offers a prime position between the Jordaan and Westerpark, providing excellent views and access to amenities.
- The apartment features a generous living space of 136 m² with abundant natural light due to windows on three sides and a corner position.
- The monthly VvE contribution is relatively low at € 90, and the association is healthy with a good reserve fund.

Downsides
- The property is located on the fourth residential floor and there is no elevator, requiring the use of stairs for access.
- Parking in the area is paid and requires a permit, although the listing notes relatively easy options nearby.
- The VvE is small and self managed, which implies a hands on approach and shared responsibility for the owners.
- The building dates back to 1881, and while renovated, older buildings can sometimes come with unexpected maintenance needs compared to new construction.
- The asking price is over € 1.1 million, which is a significant investment.
Description
Located on the charming and tree lined Nassaukade, this corner upper house presents a distinctive living opportunity in one of Amsterdam's most sought after areas. The property offers approximately 136 square meters of living space characterized by beautiful natural light and appealing views of the canal and the adjacent park. Situated on the top two floors, the home is built on freehold land, ensuring full ownership without the complexities of ground lease. The layout has been carefully designed to provide a comfortable environment for family living and entertaining guests, featuring three well proportioned bedrooms, a modern bathroom, and a bright living area.
The entrance to the property is located on the second floor, leading into a welcoming hallway that provides practical space for coats and shoes. The third floor serves as the social heart of the home. Here, the open plan living room benefits from large windows on three sides, allowing for an abundance of daylight and views of the canal to the front and the park to the side. At the rear of this floor, a southwest facing balcony captures the afternoon sun, offering a pleasant outdoor space for relaxation.
The kitchen on this level is sleek and white, combining an elegant aesthetic with practical functionality. It centers around a large island that includes bar seating for six people, making it an ideal spot for social gatherings. The culinary space is fully equipped with high quality Siemens appliances. These include two ovens, a built in coffee machine, an induction hob, a Quooker tap for instant boiling water, a dishwasher, and a fridge freezer combination. Additional features such as a MOA wine climate cabinet and generous storage contribute to a polished and welcoming atmosphere. A guest toilet with a small sink is also conveniently located on this floor.
A staircase with classic spindles leads to the top floor, where natural light floods the space through two large windows and a skylight. This level houses three comfortable bedrooms, a laundry closet with connections for a washer and dryer, and the central heating installation. The master bedroom is particularly notable, featuring attractive exposed beams and windows on three sides that create a serene and luminous environment. The two bedrooms at the rear are quiet and cozy, with one currently configured as a walk in closet, offering flexible usage options.
The bathroom on this floor is spacious and finished with large anthracite colored tiles for a contemporary look. It is well appointed with a walk in rain shower, a double vanity, a toilet, and a standalone bathtub. A window in the bathroom ensures natural light and ventilation. Technical features of the home include mechanical ventilation and TV connections. The heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha Tzerra M 39c Plus CCS combination boiler from 2014, which is owned by the property.
The location of Nassaukade 70 3 is exceptional, positioned precisely between the vibrant Jordaan district and the Frederik Hendrikbuurt. Residents can enjoy the best of both worlds, with boutique cafes and green spaces within easy reach. The immediate vicinity offers a range of dining options such as Morgan and Mees, Roux Amsterdam, De Blaffende Vis, and La Perla, contributing to a strong sense of community. For culture and leisure, Westerpark and venues like the Het Ketelhuis cinema and the Westergasterrein are just around the corner. Other green retreats like Erasmuspark and Vondelpark are also easily accessible.
Accessibility is a key advantage of this location. Multiple tram and bus stops are within walking distance along the Nassaukade, Marnixstraat, and Hugo de Grootplein, providing quick connections to the Jordaan, Central Station, Zuid, and West. By bike, the city center, canals, and Sloterdijk are just minutes away. For drivers, the A10 ring road is easily accessible via the S105 or S106. Parking is facilitated by the nearby Van Oldenbarneveltplein, which offers ample opportunities, including options for electric vehicles.
The property is managed by a healthy and small scale Homeowners Association consisting of 7 apartment rights. The VvE is self managed and has a well funded reserve fund. The monthly contribution is set at 90 euros. The building dates back to 1881 and features a saddle roof covered with bituminous roofing. The apartment has an energy label B and is fully double glazed, ensuring comfort and efficiency. The property is move in ready, having been recently repainted with a renovated stairwell. The sale includes a non occupancy clause and follows the Amsterdam Model Contract, with the choice of notary left to the buyer.
