Description
In the heart of the Jordaan, along the much-loved Egelantiersgracht, lies this incredibly charming apartment.
Small in size, but with a view that is truly priceless. From the comfort of your own living room, you can admire the picturesque canals and the iconic Westertoren. A truly special corner of Amsterdam, rich in history and filled with an atmosphere unlike anywhere else.
What makes this apartment even more special is its beautiful corner position. Three large windows at the front flood the living space with natural light and offer phenomenal views. Along the side façade, a series of smaller windows with traditional glazing bars provides charming, picture-perfect glimpses of historic Amsterdam from almost every corner of the apartment. The characteristic exposed ceiling beams and recently installed wooden herringbone flooring add warmth and character throughout.
And the history here is particularly fascinating. The building has a special connection to Stichting Blijvend Applaus, a foundation that has supported performing artists since 1962. In 1976, the foundation acquired two properties on Egelantiersgracht to provide affordable housing for current and former performers. To this day, the foundation continues to rent out several apartments and the hospitality space, named after the legendary Dutch entertainer Wim Sonneveld. A wonderful piece of Amsterdam's artistic heritage that continues to live on within these walls.

The apartment is situated on the second floor and is accessed via the communal staircase.
The entrance hall provides access to the various rooms. Beautiful wooden herringbone flooring extends throughout the apartment, immediately creating a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Turning right from the hallway, you enter the living room, where your attention is instantly drawn to the three impressive windows at the front and the phenomenal views beyond. The traditional windows, featuring characteristic glazing bars and extending almost to floor level, beautifully frame the canals, historic façades and rooftops of the Jordaan. The undisputed highlight is the iconic Westertoren.
Thanks to its corner position, the apartment has an L-shaped layout, with three large windows at the front and a series of smaller windows along the side façade. Natural light enters from multiple directions, creating a wonderfully bright and surprisingly spacious atmosphere. There is ample room for a generous seating area with a large sofa, as well as a welcoming dining table.
The warm wooden herringbone flooring and characteristic exposed ceiling beams, which continue throughout the apartment, lend the interior an abundance of charm and character.
The kitchen is positioned as a natural extension of the living room and offers a practical layout with worktop space, cabinetry and various built-in appliances.
Here too, the smaller windows along the side façade bring in natural light and offer delightful glimpses across the surrounding historic buildings. Even while cooking, the beautiful Amsterdam scenery remains part of the experience.
On the opposite side of the apartment lies the surprisingly spacious bedroom, with plenty of room for a large double bed. The generous built-in wardrobe provides excellent storage, not only for clothing but also for suitcases, skis and anything else you might prefer to keep neatly out of sight.
There is also more than enough space beside the window to create a comfortable home office, with the added bonus of a beautiful view towards Tweede Egelantiersdwarsstraat.
The compact yet functional bathroom is accessed from the hallway and features a shower, wall-mounted toilet and vanity unit with washbasin. Dark wall tiles and terrazzo-effect flooring give the space its own distinctive character.
On the communal landing, there is a private storage room of approximately 2 m², offering space for a washing machine as well as plenty of additional storage. A particularly practical extra that completes the apartment.
