Lauriergracht 118-D1016 RR AmsterdamElandsgrachtbuurt

Lauriergracht 118D, a design apartment at its very best This is not just an apartment. It is a deliberately created whole, featured in the renowned photo book The Art of Living in Amsterdam as one of the most inspiring interiors in the city. Nestled at the top of a seventeenth century monumental warehouse on the Lauriergracht, this 64 m² duplex apartment offers a rare combination of historical Amsterdam character and thoughtful modern design. The original dark wooden roof beams rise above you like the hull of an upturned ship, raw, poetic and entirely unique, and everything around them has been designed with precision and taste. The living floor is made to enjoy the space. A bright sitting room with a gas fireplace, a semi-open kitchen fitted out for those who genuinely cook, with a six burner gas stove and professional mixer tap, French doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the canal, and light that moves through the space all day long. Storage is built in everywhere, intelligent and invisible. The internal staircase leads to the bedroom under the ridge, the most intimate and most dramatic space in the apartment. A custom made platform bed stands beneath the centuries old beams, flanked by built in drawers and shelves, every centimetre used with intention. At its centre is a freestanding bath, a design statement and everyday luxury in one. A walk in dressing room, a bathroom with a natural stone washbasin and a separate shower complete this floor, and a skylight gives access to a private roof terrace. This apartment suits a couple or an individual with a feel for design, a love of art and an appreciation for good living in a historic city. The Jordaan within walking distance, the canal right outside the window, and an interior that has been published, not just renovated. LAYOUT The apartment is situated on the third floor of a historic warehouse with a rich history. You enter the home via the communal staircase. Upon entering, you step into the bright living room with a semi-open kitchen at the rear. At the front is the atmospheric seating area with a beautiful gas fireplace, ideal for colder days. French doors provide access to a charming French balcony with a unique view over the Lauriergracht. The kitchen is fully equipped with various built-in appliances, including an oven, dishwasher, a 6-burner gas stove, and a professional-style faucet. On this floor you will also find a separate toilet and a storage space under the stairs. An internal staircase leads to the bedroom, located in the roof ridge of the building. The freestanding bathtub forms a striking and stylish centerpiece here. The bathroom is equipped with a shower and a natural stone washbasin. At the rear, there is also a spacious walk-in closet offering ample storage space. From the bedroom, a roof window provides access to the roof terrace. On the ground floor, the property has its own storage room and there is a shared bicycle storage area. The entire apartment is finished with a wooden floor and is heated via a central heating system. AREA Lauriergracht sits in the heart of the Jordaan, one of Amsterdam's most sought-after neighbourhoods. Within walking distance: the Nine Streets, the weekly markets on Lindengracht and Noordermarkt, and an endless mix of restaurants, galleries and independent shops. Vondelpark and Leidseplein are five minutes by bike. Amsterdam Centraal is a fifteen-minute tram ride via Rozengracht or Marnixstraat. The neighbourhood has it all, yet the canal itself is remarkably quiet.

Purchase agreement according to the Amsterdam Ring model STREETNAME The Lauriergracht derives its name from the laurel plant, which in the 17th century symbolized victory, fame, and prosperity. The canal was created during the major expansion of Amsterdam and is part of the Jordaan, where many streets and canals are named after flowers and plants. This historical naming tradition still contributes to the character and identity of the neighborhood.
