Key Features
Description
This exceptional duplex apartment is situated on the Pienemanstraat in the desirable Cornelis Troostbuurt neighbourhood of Amsterdam-South. The property occupies the third and fourth floors of a period building dating from approximately 1923, offering a total living area of 130 square meters measured according to the NEN2580 standard. The building volume is 465 cubic meters.
The location is particularly noteworthy, positioned directly on the Amstelkanaal with unobstructed water views. The apartment benefits from a corner position which provides privacy from neighbouring properties while maximising natural light throughout the day. The setting is surprisingly tranquil given its central location, with the possibility of mooring a private boat directly outside the property.
The surrounding area offers excellent amenities within walking distance. The Albert Cuypmarkt, Sarphatipark, and Beatrixpark are all easily accessible on foot. The Maasstraat with its more relaxed atmosphere is nearby, as are numerous restaurants, wine bars, and boutique shops. Multiple childcare facilities can be found in the immediate vicinity.
Transport connections are excellent. Tram and metro services, including the North-South line, are within a few minutes walk. RAI station, Amsterdam Zuid station, and Amstel station are all reachable by bicycle in approximately ten minutes. For car users, the A10 and A2 motorways are readily accessible. Parking is available through a resident permit system, and there are several electric vehicle charging points in the neighbourhood.
The property underwent comprehensive renovation in 2019 and has since been further refined with careful attention to detail. Recent improvements include a new roof terrace installed in 2022 and external redecoration with window and balcony renewal completed in 2025.
The living area is generously proportioned with large windows spanning the full width of the facade, framing views over the water and surrounding greenery. A bespoke fitted storage unit maintains clean lines in the space. The front-facing balcony provides a pleasant spot to enjoy morning sun.
The open-plan kitchen forms the heart of the home and features a substantial island unit that serves as a natural focal point for entertaining. The kitchen is equipped with high-quality Siemens appliances, a Quooker instant boiling water tap, and an integrated wine climate cabinet.
The sleeping accommodation comprises three bedrooms. On the main living floor, there are two bedrooms. One is currently arranged as a child's bedroom with access to the rear balcony. The second serves as a home office and includes a generous fitted wardrobe with plumbing provisions for a washing machine and dryer. A shower room with washbasin and a separate toilet serve this floor.
The principal bedroom suite occupies the entire upper floor and represents the most distinctive feature of the property. This loft-style space features soaring ceilings, electrically operated Velux skylights, and a dormer window that floods the room with natural light. A central planted terrarium divides the sleeping and bathing areas, creating a unique atmosphere. The bathroom facilities include a frameless glazed shower enclosure, a freestanding bath, and an extensive walk-in closet. The design and finish of this suite evoke the feeling of a luxury hotel.
Outdoor space is a particular strength of this property. The roof terrace, installed in 2022, is sheltered and private, oriented to capture sunshine from morning through evening. In addition to the roof terrace, there are two balconies at the front and rear of the apartment, allowing occupants to follow the sun or seek shade at any time of day. The total external space attached to the building measures 15 square meters.
The property benefits from underfloor heating throughout, ensuring consistent comfort. Smart home features include Philips Hue lighting in the living room, kitchen, and upper floor, with integrated spotlights and LED strips around features such as the terrarium, staircase, and bed surround. All lighting can be controlled via app or wall switches. The Velux skylights on the upper floor are electrically operated, as are the curtains and shutters, contributing to the overall sense of luxury and convenience.
