** DUE TO GREAT INTEREST, IT IS NO LONGER POSSIBLE TO SCHEDULE A VIEWING FOR THIS PROPERTY. **
A unique opportunity in Jordaan Quarter. Loft-style apartment on the ground floor of a charming former monastery on a car-free street. With amazing 4.05m high ceilings, wide frontage with 5 tall windows facing the street and no internal structural/load-bearing walls, this space can be transformed into something truly spectacular.
The loft spans just under 55 sqm, not including the mezzanine nor the 7 sqm storage in the basement - but the space feels much larger. A freehold property at just 100 meters from Prinsengracht between Elandsgracht and Lauriergracht.
BUILDING:
Former monastery with a shared bicycle storage, 2 shared gardens and a communal terrace. The complex was built in 1856 and was expanded in 1927 with the section at 24-40 Elandsstraat under the supervision of architect Jac. Duncker. The building is constructed of bricks with natural stone accents and stunning stained glass. The complex was redeveloped in 1996 to create 40 apartments.
LOCATION:
The property is situated in Jordaan Quarter: a welcoming neighborhood in Amsterdam's city center. The area is characterized by its charming streets with shops, lovely markets and cafés, restobars and restaurants. Jordaan Quarter hosts three markets - on Lindengracht, Westerstraat and Noordermarkt (farmer's market) - held on Mondays and/or Saturdays, offering a wide range of products. Groceries are available from the shops on Elandsgracht, including Vlaamsch Broodhuys, Zuivelhoeve, Waldo Chocolade & Patisserie, Ekoplaza and Albert Heijn.
The apartment is easy to access by public transport, with stops on Marnixstraat, for a number of tram (lines 5, 7 and 10) and bus service (lines 347, 397, 62 en 800) to Amstelveen, Schiphol Airport and Amsterdam Central Station, all within walking distance of the home.
LAYOUT:
The characteristic central entrance, with a commanding staircase, large stained glass windows and original wall and floor tiles, leads to the home on the ground-floor level. The current layout is as follows: The hall opens to the kitchen, which is at the heart of the home. There are large rooms to both sides of the kitchen with large windows (a total of 5) that allow daylight to pour in. One of the rooms accesses the mezzanine, above the closet with the central heating unit and the hall. The other spacious room was in use as a bedroom. The hall leads to the bathroom with a shower, sink and the fittings for the laundry station. Across from the bathroom is a separate restroom with a toilet and washbasin. Featuring a unique ceiling height of over 4 meters, and with no load-bearing structural walls, the floorplan options of this home are endless.
The artist impressions depict one of these options. The kitchen is moved to one of the rooms, while a mezzanine is added to the other room, for use as a study/ guest area. The central heating unit and laundry space is also moved upstairs. The restroom and bathroom can still be accessed from the hall. The property is also ideal for double occupancy, where the current layout is mostly maintained and the rooms with a mezzanine can be used as living and/or bedrooms spaces. In this option, the kitchen, restroom and bathroom will remain where they are.
The apartment includes a separate large storage unit in the building's substructure and use of the communal bicycle storage.
