BRIGHT AND SPACIOUS DOUBLE UPPER HOUSE WITH TWO BALCONIES ON FREEHOLD LAND ALONG A CANAL IN THE JORDAAN

Located on one of Amsterdam’s most charming canals, this characterful apartment of 117 m² unfolds behind a distinctive façade, offering beautiful natural light throughout. This stylish double upper house, spread over the third and fourth floors, combines character, comfort, and a practical layout in a unique Jordaan location. High ceilings, a beautifully finished open ridge above the staircase, skylight and full-width balconies add to the sense of space and elegance.

LAYOUT
Via the communal staircase you reach the entrance on the third floor. You step into the spacious living room, where the view over the Lauriergracht, the beautiful wooden flooring and the abundance of natural light immediately set the tone. The wood-burning stove forms a warm and stylish focal point. The characteristic internal doors add an elegant and airy feel to the floor: open, they create one expansive living space; closed, they provide a more intimate atmosphere. At the rear, the open-plan kitchen seamlessly connects to the living area and is fitted with a range of appliances, including a Boretti gas stove, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and Quooker. From the kitchen, there is direct access to the full-width balcony, where you can enjoy the evening sun.

A wide, elegant staircase leads to the fourth floor. At the top, the open ridge reveals itself, allowing you to look up into the full height of the fifth floor — a striking spatial effect that makes the home feel even larger. The continuous skylight, integrated into the sloping roof, enhances this sense of space and fills the area with beautiful natural light. This floor offers two well-proportioned bedrooms, connected by a landing. The generous principal bedroom features exposed wooden beams that add character, as well as a stunning view of the Westertoren. The second bedroom is also spacious and perfectly suited as a study or guest room, with the possibility to create an additional bedroom. This level also features a second full-width balcony, where you can enjoy the sun from early afternoon until evening. The centrally located bathroom is equipped with a walk-in shower and washbasin, complemented by a separate laundry room and a separate toilet. Above the bedrooms, two loft spaces provide a surprising amount of additional storage.

OUTDOOR SPACE
The property features two full-width balconies (approx. 5.5 metres wide). On the living floor, French doors connect the kitchen to the balcony. The upper-floor balcony is a real highlight: west-facing, with sun from midday until late evening and open views over the city. The perfect spot for long summer evenings.

FREEHOLD PROPERTY
The property is situated on freehold land. This means there is no leasehold and no ground rent payable, a significant advantage in Amsterdam.

HOMEOWNERS’ ASSOCIATION (VvE)
The homeowners’ association is active, healthy, and self-managed. Monthly service charges amount to €240. The financial position of the association is solid, and a long-term maintenance plan is in place. The building’s foundation is in good condition.

SUSTAINABILITY & ENERGYLABEL
The property is partially fitted with double glazing and has an energylabel C.

NEIGHBOURHOOD
The Lauriergracht is one of Amsterdam’s most sought-after canals, located on the edge of the canal belt and the Jordaan. Here you live in an oasis of calm, while the vibrant city life is just around the corner. Nearby are the Nine Streets (De Negen Straatjes), Elandsgracht, and Noordermarkt, offering a wide variety of boutiques, cafés, and restaurants. Both Vondelpark and Westerpark are close by. A perfect balance between lively city living and tranquil canal-side surroundings.

HISTORY WITH CHARACTER
The property is located on a site with a rich history. In the 18th and 19th centuries, a sugar refinery stood here, as was common in the Jordaan at the time. After a fire at the end of the 19th century, the plot was redeveloped and several buildings in characteristic Amsterdam style were constructed. Notably, these buildings are wider than usual for the Jordaan, a rare quality that provides extra space and light.

ACCESSIBILITY & PARKING
The property is easily accessible by both public transport and car. Several tram and bus stops are within walking distance on Rozengracht and Marnixstraat, and Amsterdam Zuid and Central Station are easily reached by bike. The property is well connected to the ring road, and parking is available via a permit or in nearby parking garages.
