Luxury Canal Living in the Heart of Amsterdam

Situated in the historic heart of Amsterdam, on the charming Uilenburg Island, this property offers a unique residential experience with views over the canal. Located at Nieuwe Uilenburgerstraat 7-E, the apartment is part of the characterful 17th-century warehouse known as Stad Riga. This stylishly renovated three-room apartment has a living area of approximately 110 square meters and is equipped with both an elevator and an east-facing balcony. The location provides the best of both worlds, combining the vibrancy of the city center within walking distance with the tranquility of living directly on the water. This makes it an ideal residence for couples, singles, or families seeking the best of Amsterdam without compromising on comfort.

The building is a national monument that underwent a complete renovation in 2001, which included the foundation, while preserving original beams and authentic details. The apartment is located on the first floor and is accessible via stairs or the elevator. At the rear, there is a sunny east-facing balcony offering wide views over the broad and peaceful Uilenburgergracht. This outdoor space allows residents to enjoy the morning sun and the sound of the water in peace. The property also includes access to a well-maintained courtyard garden at the rear. On the ground floor, there is a spacious private storage room. The entire property is situated on freehold land, meaning there is no leasehold ground rent to pay.

Upon entering the apartment on the first floor, one arrives in a deep hallway featuring a toilet and washbasin, a cloakroom area, and a practical storage space for a washing machine and dryer. This layout ensures practical utility space is tucked away neatly. From the hallway, there is access to the very spacious living room located at the rear of the property. This living area is exceptionally large and bright, benefiting from the orientation, and provides direct access to the balcony. At the front of the apartment lies the beautiful kitchen-diner, which is equipped with various built-in appliances suitable for modern culinary needs.

The sleeping quarters are well-proportioned. The generous master bedroom is located on the canal side, offering views over the water. The second bedroom is also of a good size and is situated at the front of the building. Positioned between the two bedrooms is the well-maintained bathroom. This sanitary space features a walk-in shower, a double washbasin unit, a designer radiator, and mechanical ventilation to ensure a fresh climate.

The location of the Uilenburgerhof complex is truly unique. Within a few minutes walk, residents can reach the terraces of the Nieuwmarkt, enjoy a performance at the Dutch National Opera and Ballet, known as the Stopera, or visit the ARTIS zoo. Walking along the Amstel river or visiting the Royal Theater Carre is also conveniently close. Despite being in the center, the immediate home environment on Uilenburg Island offers peace and quiet. The neighborhood is characterized by its cultural history, small creative entrepreneurs, and diverse shops, fostering a village-like atmosphere within the city thanks to the close-knit community.

Accessibility is excellent for this address. Tram, bus, and metro stops are located just around the corner, and Central Station is approximately a ten-minute walk away. For car travel, the A10 ring road is quickly accessible via the Wibautstraat and the IJ Tunnel.
