A truly romantic home in an exceptional location. Whether you have school-aged children or are living alone or as a couple, this property offers peace, beautiful open views on both sides, and an excellent connection to Amsterdam's city centre via Prinseneiland. Public transport and the Amsterdam Ring Road are also easily accessible. This beautifully maintained former captain’s house comprises a spacious double ground-floor apartment with a renewed foundation. The property features a generous living room, three spacious bedrooms, and a southeast-facing garden overlooking the waters of the Westerdok. A quiet playground is situated directly in front of the house, providing a pleasant place to relax. From the apartment you can easily walk to the Jordaan, Central Station, Prinseneiland, Stenen Hoofd and Entrepotdok. Dating from 1880, the apartment underwent a complete structural renovation in 2023 with no expense spared. The layout was redesigned to create three full-sized bedrooms, several structural walls were removed to maximize the living space, and the kitchen, bathroom and toilet were completely renewed. The apartment has smooth plastered walls, recessed lighting, new insulation, new flooring, a light oak floor throughout and entirely renewed electrical installations. The unobstructed view over the IJ from the front of the property is particularly impressive. LAYOUT The impressive entrance leads to the raised ground floor. A spacious hallway provides access to the bright living room and guest toilet. Thanks to large windows on both the front and rear elevations, the living area enjoys abundant natural light and wonderful views in both directions. The modern open-plan kitchen overlooks the Westerdok and the rear garden and is equipped with a range of built-in appliances. A wide staircase leads down to the garden-level basement. The basement benefits from the renewed foundation, resulting in comfortable ceiling heights and excellent insulation. This level accommodates three well-proportioned bedrooms, a spacious bathroom with bathtub, double washbasin, toilet and underfloor heating, several built-in storage cupboards, and a separate laundry room. The approximately 42 m² southeast-facing garden is directly accessible from two of the bedrooms and offers a rare combination of peace, privacy and outdoor space in the heart of Amsterdam.
