Brouwersgracht 165-H1015 GH AmsterdamDriehoekbuurt

For Sale in Amsterdam Centre (Jordaan) Situated on the Brouwersgracht – voted Amsterdam's most beautiful street by the readers of Het Parool in 2007 – this bright ground-floor apartment of approximately 56 m² offers a private entrance directly on the canal. The property is situated on freehold land (no leasehold), features generous ceiling heights, and benefits from a beautiful light wooden floor extending throughout the entire apartment. The apartment is currently arranged as a spacious studio where the living, dining and sleeping areas seamlessly flow together into one open space. Thanks to its well-proportioned layout and the logical position of the kitchen, the floor plan can easily be converted into a fully functional one-bedroom apartment without compromising the sense of space. The high ceilings and the large windows overlooking the canal provide an exceptional amount of natural light throughout the day. A distinctive feature of this property is its location on the ground floor, with the canal literally on your doorstep. From the front of the apartment you enjoy charming views over the water, the houseboats and the characteristic historic buildings opposite, while the vibrant Haarlemmerdijk, Noordermarkt and the Jordaan are just around the corner. This charming apartment occupies one of the city's most desirable locations and is perfectly suited for first-time buyers, singles, couples or as an elegant pied-à-terre in the heart of Amsterdam. LOCATION: Stretching between the Prinsengracht and the Singelgracht, the Brouwersgracht forms the northern boundary of the Jordaan district and owes its name to the many breweries that were established here during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. Converted warehouse buildings, historic cast-iron drawbridges and the wide canal views have made this one of Amsterdam's most sought-after addresses. The apartment is located in the Driehoekbuurt, the northern part of the Jordaan, an area that has retained much of its authentic village-like atmosphere with neighbourhood shops, artisan boutiques and traditional Dutch cafés. Daily shopping is available within a few minutes' walk on the Haarlemmerstraat and Haarlemmerdijk, widely regarded as one of Amsterdam's finest shopping streets with over 200 boutiques, delicatessen stores, specialty shops, an Albert Heijn supermarket and several organic food stores. Several popular weekly markets are also within walking distance, including the organic farmers' market and Monday market at Noordermarkt, the Saturday Lindengracht Market, and the famous Monday textile market on Westerstraat. The area also offers an excellent selection of cafés and restaurants. Along the Brouwersgracht itself you will find the charming Café Thijssen and the renowned Restaurant De Belhamel, while the surrounding Jordaan and Haarlemmerbuurt offer countless restaurants, wine bars and traditional cafés, including Café Enté and Sins of Sal. For recreation and green space, both Westerpark and the Westergas cultural district are just a short walk away, offering a wide variety of restaurants, cultural events and walking opportunities. The picturesque Western Islands are equally nearby. Accessibility is excellent. Various tram and bus connections can be found within walking distance, including at Haarlemmerplein. Amsterdam Central Station is approximately a fifteen-minute walk or just a few minutes by bicycle, providing direct train connections to Schiphol Airport and destinations throughout the Netherlands. By car, the A10 ring road can be reached within minutes via the Haarlemmerweg (S101). LAYOUT: The apartment is accessed through its own private entrance directly from the Brouwersgracht. At the front of the apartment is the bright living area with large windows spanning almost the entire width of the property, overlooking the canal. The generous ceiling height and continuous light wooden flooring create a spacious and tranquil atmosphere. The apartment is currently arranged as an open-plan living and sleeping area, with the sleeping section subtly separated by a room divider. With only minor modifications, a separate bedroom can easily be created, transforming the property into a comfortable one-bedroom apartment. The modern kitchen adjoins the living area and is arranged in a straight-line configuration. It features a dark grey worktop, ample storage drawers and all standard built-in appliances. Its open connection to the living space preserves both the natural light and the visual depth of the apartment. At the rear of the apartment is the hallway, providing access to the bathroom, which is fitted with a shower, washbasin, toilet and heated towel rail. The hallway also leads to the technical and storage room, housing the central heating boiler together with connections for a washing machine and dryer. A second internal storage room provides additional storage space and is perfectly suited as a wardrobe or cloakroom. CREATING A SEPARATE BEDROOM: A separate bedroom can be created with relative ease, and the seller is happy to discuss the possibilities with prospective buyers. It is even possible to include this alteration as part of your offer, allowing the apartment to be delivered with a separate bedroom already in place. Apartment Brouwersgracht 163-H, which forms part of the same building structure, has successfully incorporated a mezzanine level by lowering part of the floor. Thanks to the generous ceiling height, an additional sleeping floor was created, demonstrating the potential of the space. The apartment is fully fitted with double glazing and central heating and has been well maintained throughout. The previous owner even created a charming, typical Amsterdam-style front garden facing the canal. In short, this is a bright and surprisingly spacious apartment with its own private entrance, situated on freehold land along one of Amsterdam's most beautiful canals.
