The apartment has approximately 95 m² of functionally usable interior space, 83 m² formal living area plus a generous multifunctional space, approximately 145 m² gross floor area and a permitted, easily accessible roof terrace of approximately 19 m². In addition, the apartment offers a surprising amount of storage space, including a spacious attic storage area.

Location
The Groenburgwal is a particularly picturesque canal in a quiet part of the city centre, around the corner from the Amstel. The Zuiderkerk and the Staalmeestersbrug give the area its distinctive character. Although the lively Nieuwmarkt is close by, there is a remarkable sense of calm here. In the immediate surroundings you will find many charming, authentic cafés and restaurants.

Within 5 minutes you can walk to the shops of the Utrechtsestraat, the Stopera, Carré, the Kleine Komedie and the Rembrandt House. The main canals, Spui and the Hortus Botanicus can be reached within 10 minutes.

The metro stations of both the North South line and the East line are practically around the corner and take you to Central Station within a few minutes and to Schiphol in approximately half an hour.

layout
Entrance via the front steps to the bright stairwell, which has recently been refreshed. Access to the apartment is on the second floor.

The living room stands out because of its beautiful width, approximately 6.60 m, and windows on three sides. There is plenty of room for a large dining table and a sitting area by the canal. Large French windows offer beautiful views of the water, the trees along the quiet quay and the last rays of sun at sunset. In addition, the space has a work corner, two dormer windows and an attractive beamed ceiling.

The semi open kitchen is pleasantly connected to the dining room, while remaining nicely out of sight from the rest of the living room. The layout lends itself well to integrating the kitchen more with the living space.
At the rear is the main bedroom of approximately 12.5 m² with large sliding windows and an adjoining walk in closet where the connections for the washing machine and dryer are also located. The bright bathroom has a walk in shower, washbasin and toilet.

On the charming attic floor there are two further rooms. On the canal side is an attractive guest room with an open ridge, 3.92 m high, and access to the spacious attic storage area. This room has a Velux roof window on both sides and characteristic shutters at the front.

At the rear is a second, generous multifunctional space with a large deep built in wardrobe, a Velux roof window on both sides, and French doors opening onto the sunny south facing roof terrace, where you can enjoy the sun from early morning until the evening. The terrace measures approximately 19 m² and is fitted with a pergola, irrigation system and electricity. Due to the ceiling height, this room has been recorded as a study. Ideal as a TV or lounge room, home office, gym, extra guest room or for the first cup of coffee in the morning sun.

A wonderfully spacious house with lots of light, views, a sheltered roof terrace and storage space in a particularly fine and sought after location in the city centre.

A bright and spacious top floor home on one of Amsterdam’s most iconic canals, featuring a sunny roof terrace, panoramic views over the city’s historic rooftops, and a remarkably quiet setting.
