Renovated Monumental Apartment with Elevator in Amsterdam City Center
Key Features
Description
This exceptional three room apartment is situated on the third floor of a monumental building on Reguliersdwarsstraat, right in the heart of Amsterdam's historic city center. The property has been comprehensively renovated to high standards and now offers a contemporary living experience while preserving the character of its 1717 origins. With an energy label A rating, elevator access, and positioned on own ground, this apartment represents a rare find in one of Amsterdam's most sought after locations.
Reguliersdwarsstraat is widely recognized as one of Amsterdam's most vibrant and centrally located streets. The area is known for its lively atmosphere, diverse selection of restaurants, cozy cafés, and excellent connectivity to the rest of the city. The apartment falls within the Rembrandtplein area, placing residents within easy walking distance of the iconic canal ring, the popular Utrechtsestraat shopping street, and numerous cultural hotspots. Living at this address means having the best of Amsterdam conveniently close by.
The building itself dates back to 1717 and holds Rijksmonument status, recognizing it as a nationally significant heritage site. Despite its considerable age, the property has been thoughtfully modernized. The renovation was executed with premium materials throughout, resulting in a refined finish that respects the historic character while meeting contemporary expectations of comfort and efficiency.
Access to the apartment is via an elevator, which is an exceptionally rare feature for a monumental building in the Amsterdam city center. Upon arrival on the third floor, a generous hallway welcomes residents and provides access to all rooms. This central hall creates a practical circulation pattern that connects the various spaces efficiently.
The living room is positioned at the front of the apartment and enjoys large windows that allow abundant natural light to fill the space. The open layout creates an inviting and sociable atmosphere suitable for both relaxation and entertaining guests. The generous proportions and excellent daylight contribute to a sense of spaciousness throughout. Beautiful new herringbone parquet flooring runs through the apartment, adding warmth and sophistication to the interior.
The kitchen is newly installed and forms a key highlight of the renovation. It features a modern design with clean lines and is fully equipped with a comprehensive range of built in appliances. These include a dishwasher, oven, microwave, and a refrigerator with freezer compartment. The kitchen layout prioritizes both functionality and visual appeal, creating a pleasant space for everyday cooking and social gatherings alike.
The apartment offers two well proportioned bedrooms. Both rooms comfortably accommodate a double bed and provide sufficient space for wardrobe storage. The bedrooms serve as quiet retreats from the vibrant city life outside, maintaining the same high standard of finish found throughout the property. The practical floor plan ensures each bedroom is accessible from the central hallway while preserving a sense of privacy.
The bathroom has been designed with a contemporary aesthetic and includes modern fixtures. It features a walk in shower and a new washbasin vanity unit. The finishes are consistent with the overall quality of the renovation. A separate toilet room adds convenience, particularly when hosting visitors. Additionally, there is a dedicated storage and laundry room equipped with connections for a washing machine and dryer, ensuring household tasks can be managed efficiently within the home.
Energy efficiency is a standout feature of this property. Achieving an energy label A rating in a monumental building from 1717 is particularly noteworthy and reflects the thoroughness of the renovation. The apartment is heated by a central heating boiler, which also supplies hot water. This level of energy performance results in lower utility costs and contributes to a more sustainable living environment.
The property measures 70 square meters of usable living space with a total volume of 203 cubic meters. A NEN 2580 measurement report is available, confirming these dimensions according to the national standard. The entire apartment is situated on a single level, making navigation straightforward and accessible.
Ownership of this apartment includes the ground beneath it, classified as volle eigendom or full ownership. This is a significant advantage in the Amsterdam market where leasehold arrangements are common. Owning the ground outright eliminates ongoing leasehold payments to the municipality and provides greater long term financial certainty.
The homeowners association, known as the Vereniging van Eigenaren or VvE, is described as healthy and active. Monthly service charges amount to €269. The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, has an established maintenance plan, and carries proper building insurance. These are all positive indicators of responsible building management.
Parking in the area operates through a municipal permit system. Given the central location, excellent public transport connections are readily available with multiple tram and bus stops nearby. The compact scale of the city center also makes cycling an ideal way to navigate Amsterdam from this base.
The Reguliersdwarsstraat location offers an unbeatable urban lifestyle. The street connects Rembrandtplein with Muntplein and is lined with an eclectic mix of dining establishments, bars, and shops. Cultural institutions such as the Hermitage Museum, the Dutch National Opera and Ballet, and Royal Theater Carré are all within comfortable reach. The UNESCO World Heritage listed canal ring provides scenic walking routes just moments from the front door.
Delivery of the property is available by mutual agreement, offering flexibility for prospective buyers to coordinate their move. This apartment presents a compelling combination of historic prestige, modern comfort, energy efficiency, and an outstanding central location. The careful renovation has transformed a centuries old monument into a comfortable and efficient home equipped for contemporary living while retaining its inherent architectural character and charm.
