Luxury Double Ground Floor Apartment in 1740 National Monument, Amsterdam City Centre
Key Features
Description
This exceptional double ground floor apartment is situated in a national monument dating back to 1740, located at the quiet and characterful Oudeschans in the heart of historic Amsterdam. The property forms part of an exclusive boutique residential project where centuries of Amsterdam history blend seamlessly with contemporary luxury. Behind the stately facade of this nationally listed building lies a spacious family residence that excels in elegance, comfort, and tranquility, just a stone's throw from all the cultural and culinary hotspots the city has to offer.
The monument underwent a complete renovation in 2025, which included the foundation, while preserving characteristic details and adding high quality materials throughout. The renovation brought modern comforts such as underfloor heating, monumental glass, Italian marble, and a premium Bulthaup kitchen equipped with top of the line Siemens appliances. The apartment spans approximately 227 square meters of living space across two levels: the bel etage and the souterrain. The total volume of the property measures 814 cubic meters, providing a sense of spaciousness that is rare in central Amsterdam.
The bel etage welcomes residents and guests with an impressive living room featuring a void of approximately five meters in height, creating a remarkable sense of space and light. A generous dining room is positioned at the front of the building, offering views over the canal. The luxury open plan kitchen is equipped with a kitchen island and includes a four zone Bora induction hob with integrated extraction, dishwasher, Quooker, steam oven, combination oven and microwave, wine cooler, refrigerator, and freezer, all from Siemens. A hallway provides access to a separate toilet with hand basin, and a storage room containing the central heating system. The living area at the rear benefits from the high void and features the staircase leading down to the souterrain level.
The souterrain is accessed via a custom made metal staircase and houses the private quarters of the residence. This level comprises three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a workspace, and direct access to the private patio. The master bedroom features a luxurious en suite bathroom complete with a bathtub, walk in shower, and double vanity unit. A second bedroom at the rear includes built in storage and its own bathroom with washbasin and shower. There is an additional bathroom with washbasin and shower, a separate toilet with hand basin, a laundry room, and a walk in closet. The patio is described as a sunny private outdoor space featuring a green wall and drainage installation, offering a quiet oasis in the heart of the city.
The property is located on own ground, meaning there is no ground lease applicable, which is a significant advantage in Amsterdam. The building is part of a protected cityscape and holds the status of a national monument. The interior design has been executed with refined attention to detail, featuring clean lines and timeless elegance throughout. Additional features include a custom lighting plan, video intercom system, and mechanical ventilation.
