Bloemgracht 66-C1015 TL AmsterdamBloemgrachtbuurt

On one of the most beautiful side canals of Amsterdam, lies this wonderfully bright apartment, renovated with great style, ready to welcome its new resident with open arms. This lovely home offers over 90m² of floor space, including a spacious living room en-suite with an open kitchen, a generously sized bedroom (which can potentially be divided into 2 bedrooms), a workspace and an abundance of extra storage space. This gem is located in a stunning spot, in the Jordaan district on freehold land. Location: Bloemgracht is highly sought after for its enchanting and peaceful atmosphere. It’s one of the few remaining cross-canals in the Jordaan that still has water. The wide canal is tree-lined and surrounded by 17th-century facades. From the south-facing apartments—including this one—there is a view of the Westertoren. The apartment is located on the most desirable part of the canal, between Eerste and Tweede Leliedwarsstraat. It’s in the heart of the Jordaan but pleasantly away from the crowds. Within a few minutes’ walk are the Negen Straatjes, Westerstraat, Rozengracht, and several tram stops. Also nearby are the Noordermarkt (with Monday’s textile market and Saturday’s organic market), Central Station, and Sporthub Marnixplein (with a pool, gym, and yoga). From the south-facing windows, you can watch boats float by and hear the gentle chatter of coffee drinkers at the café across the canal. Around the corner, authentic boutiques, local shops, cafés, and restaurants offer a vibrant but welcoming neighbourhood vibe, where residents know each other and rarely want to leave. The Building: The building dates back to the 17th century, originally built together with number 64. The rear section retains the typical split-level layout of the time. The front part was rebuilt in the early 1900s, evident in its decorative anchors, large windows, and flat roofline. Floors are evenly divided, with high ceilings and a tiled entryway with elegant front doors. In 2000, the building underwent an almost complete renovation, including: - Roof replacement - Facade restoration - Installation of new exterior stone stairs with wrought iron railing and a wooden bench - Floor structures, walls, and all plumbing As a listed national monument, the property is overseen by Monumentenzorg (heritage authority), working in coordination with the homeowners’ association (VvE), which receives subsidies for maintenance. The Apartment: Located on the second floor, accessible via a single straight staircase. We enter the flat in a central hallway. To the left, there is a spacious kitchen-diner with large windows overlooking the rear house and a large living room with three big windows facing the canal. The kitchen features a stylish L-shape with only base cabinets in a soft mint green and a Bianca Carrara marble countertop. Siemens appliances are hidden beneath: oven-grill, induction cooktop, dishwasher, and fridge. The sink is also marble, with an elegant tap and refined wall and ceiling lighting. There’s space for a large china cabinet and dining table. The living room is notably wide, with three tall windows offering sunlight from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. There’s room for a lounge area and a work space. It could be divided into a living room and a separate study using a glass-and-steel partition. Features include soft Farrow & Ball paint, a custom black marble fireplace, and ebony wooden handles on the windows. A built-in cabinet houses the washing machine. Throughout the home is a high-quality solid oak parquet floor in block pattern with tall baseboards. Via the hallway, on the left you will find the bathroom with a spacious walk-in shower, elegant Burlington sink, towel radiator, and Bianca Carrara marble tiling. The next door is a separate toilet with matching Burlington fittings. A few steps up, a bright and quiet workspace has been created, overlooking the interior courtyard. Below there is a large storage space, perfect for skis or other long items. In the backhouse you will find the bright and quiet bedroom, with no upstairs neighbours. French doors let in the afternoon sun (6–8 p.m.). Some neighbours have converted this space into two bedrooms—also possible here (see alternative floor plan).
