Live in a former monastery in the heart of the Jordaan! This apartment combines urban living with an oasis of tranquility. Located on the ground floor and facing a communal garden, the property is spread across three levels and features two bedrooms. *** Visit our website to plan your viewing *** Layout: The monastery has two entrances; the one on Elandsstraat is the most convenient for this apartment. You enter into a beautiful hallway, which retains its original historic features. This area houses the mailboxes, an elevator, and a communal staircase. The entrance to the apartment itself is on the ground floor. You step into a foyer containing a guest toilet and space for a coat rack. From this foyer, you enter the living room. The first thing you’ll notice is the stunning view of the garden and the abundant natural light, enhanced by a ceiling that soars to over 4 meters in height. The living room includes a 17-square-meter mezzanine, currently used as an office. With a clearance of 1.94 meters beneath the beams, this space is not officially counted toward the living area, yet it remains fully functional for various uses. A set of French doors in the living room opens directly onto the garden—a large, recently landscaped space featuring mature trees and a walking path. An internal staircase leads down to the basement level, which is entirely dedicated to a spacious eat-in kitchen. It is beautifully designed with industrial accents and equipped with high-end built-in appliances (including brands such as Gaggenau and Bora). This level also includes a utility room with connections for a washing machine and dryer. The first floor is also accessible from the living room via an internal staircase. You enter into a hallway, from which the bedrooms, the bathroom, and the second toilet are accessible. The master bedroom is located on the garden side and offers a lovely view of the greenery. Adjoining this bedroom is a spacious dressing room; it is larger than the master bedroom itself and could, of course, also be used as a bedroom. Also on this floor is an alcove bed (a *bedstede*), which serves as an efficient guest room. It is cozy and also connects to the hallway. The bathroom features a bathtub, a walk-in shower, and a double vanity. In the lower level of the former monastery, there is a private storage unit measuring over 8 square meters. Finally, the complex includes a large communal bicycle storage area, where you can safely store your bikes, as well as a shared rooftop terrace.

The section facing Elandsstraat was constructed in 1927. The complex originally housed a school, an orphanage, and living quarters for the sisters. It served a religious purpose until 1991, and in the 1990s, it was converted into 44 residential units. The complex consists of two sections, both built around a communal garden, and also features a roof terrace. Its location in the heart of the Jordaan is ideal. Everything that makes life in our city such a privilege is literally within walking distance of this property. The Elandsgracht, with its array of shops, countless pubs, and restaurants, as well as the canals and the full range of metropolitan amenities, are all close by. While the vibrancy of the city is within easy reach, Elandsstraat itself remains a quiet street, used only by local traffic. It runs parallel to both the Elandsgracht and the Lauriergracht. Public transport accessibility is excellent. Tram lines 3, 5, and 17 have stops on Marnixstraat, and the Elandsgracht bus station serves as a hub for regional bus lines—including a direct service to Schiphol Airport! The property is also easily accessible by car, as it is situated on the edge of the city center. The S-100 city ring road (Nassaukade) is just a short distance away, connecting this part of the city to all major arterial roads. From here, you can quickly reach the A-10 West ring road via the S-106 (Overtoom) or the S-105 (Tweede Hugo de Grootstraat). The current waiting time for a new parking permit in this area (Centrum 2) is just over a year. However, priority may be granted for electric vehicles; please check the latest information on the municipality’s website.
