DEscriptION Located in the historic city centre of Amsterdam, this unique and distinctive apartment enjoys a prime location on the edge of the Jordaan. This turn-key four-room apartment with sunny roof terrace is situated on the top two floors of an attractive listed building on freehold land. The property at Droogbak 5-6 was carefully redeveloped in the mid-1980s into eight apartments, with full respect for its monumental character, including foundation renewal. As a result, the apartment combines the charm and appearance of a national monument with the comfort and construction quality of a more modern home. Thanks to its open position and the presence of skylights, the apartment benefits from pleasant natural light, a high level of privacy, and unobstructed views over the characteristic rooftops, façades, and church towers of the city centre. The apartment is part of a small-scale, active, and financially healthy Homeowners’ Association (VvE), consisting of eight apartments, contributing to well-maintained management and a pleasant living environment. In short, a charming duplex apartment with a roof terrace in a unique location on the edge of the Jordaan, ready for immediate occupancy. LAYOUT (see floor plans) The apartment is accessed via a spacious entrance and a well-maintained, carpeted staircase, leading to the third floor. Upon entering, there is space for a wardrobe.
