Korte Prinsengracht 16-A1013 GS AmsterdamHaarlemmerbuurt-West

Living in a historic Amsterdam warehouse dating from 1656, on freehold land and on the edge of the Jordaan. Situated on a quiet section of the Korte Prinsengracht, this exceptionally spacious ground-floor apartment of approximately 253 m² offers a unique combination of historic architecture, contemporary comfort and a surprisingly generous living arrangement. Dark wooden beams, characteristic low ceilings and the substantial construction of the former warehouse define the atmosphere. At the heart of the apartment is the generous open-plan kitchen, flanked by two full-sized living rooms, one overlooking the canal and the other at the rear. The two bedrooms, an additional study/bedroom and three bathrooms provide ample space and flexibility. Two sunny west-facing terraces add a wonderful outdoor dimension to living alongside the canal. The property benefits from a lift, a private storage room and a multifunctional layout. In addition, the apartment rights offer the possibility of converting the property back into two independent apartments. A characterful city residence for those who appreciate space, history and a distinctly Amsterdam living experience. Location and accessibility: The Korte Prinsengracht forms a quiet and intimate enclave on the edge of the Jordaan. Haarlemmerdijk is literally around the corner, offering a wide range of specialist shops, cafés, restaurants and everyday amenities. Haarlemmerstraat, Noordermarkt and Lindengracht are also within a short walking distance. The location combines the best of both worlds: the vibrancy of the historic city centre and the tranquillity of a charming canal. Westerpark is nearby for sports, relaxation and walks, while Amsterdam Central Station is within walking distance. From there, trains, trams, buses and the metro are readily accessible, with excellent connections to Schiphol Airport. By bicycle, the Negen Straatjes, Museumplein, Leidseplein and Vondelpark are all within easy reach. For motorists, the main arterial roads are easily accessible via, among others, the IJ Tunnel and the western side of the city. Street parking is available with a permit; there are also options to rent a parking space in a nearby parking garage. Layout of the property: Via the monumental entrance on the Korte Prinsengracht, a broad staircase or lift leads to the first floor, where the exceptional apartment begins. The spacious hallway forms the central point of the property and provides access to the various living and sleeping areas. The atmospheric heart of the home is the generous open-plan kitchen, equipped with a range of built-in appliances, which connects the different living spaces. At the front is a characterful living room with gas fireplace, study area and built-in storage cupboard. The authentic timber construction and relatively low ceilings enhance the distinctive atmosphere of the Amsterdam warehouse: robust, warm and inviting. The property features two spacious bedrooms. The master bedroom has a generous fitted wardrobe, direct access to the terrace and an adjoining bathroom with shower, toilet and double washbasin. The second bedroom also has a fitted wardrobe and its own bathroom. A third bathroom with bathtub, shower, washbasin and toilet provides additional comfort. At the rear is a second generous living room with gas fireplace and attractive views of the terrace. The adjoining study/home office can also be used as a third bedroom. This flexible layout offers plenty of possibilities for comfortably separating living and working areas. A particular highlight are the two west-facing terraces. The first terrace is directly accessible from the apartment; a fixed staircase leads up to the sunny roof terrace. The ground floor also features a spacious private storage room, with ample space for, among other things, two bicycles.
