Luxury and design in the heart of the Jordaan A fully and high-quality renovated ground-floor apartment of approximately 148 m² in a prime location in the Jordaan, with energy label A, new foundation, newly insulated roof, and perpetually bought-off leasehold. The property combines a spacious living floor of approximately 100 m² with two large bedrooms each with en-suite bathroom, a sheltered city patio, and the option to create a third bedroom or home office on the ground floor. The Prinsengracht is literally around the corner and the Nine Streets (Negen Straatjes) are within walking distance. At the same time, this is a remarkably quiet part of Laurierstraat, allowing you to combine the liveliness of the city centre with the calm of a characterful Jordaan street. The apartment has been fully renovated and finished with attention to detail. New wooden floors, a bespoke kitchen, modern installations, a new foundation, a newly insulated roof and energy label A provide a living quality that is rarely found in the historic city centre. The comfort of new build, with the character of the Jordaan. Character and history The building at Laurierstraat 20-22 has a long history in the Jordaan. For decades it was connected to the Amsterdam graphic arts industry. That past is still palpable in the architecture, with large window openings, high ceilings, open spaces and a subtly industrial base. It is precisely that original function as a workspace that gives the apartment its distinctive character today. The generous proportions, abundant daylight and open layout create a sense of space that is rare in this part of Amsterdam. During the renovation, the historical character of the building has been carefully preserved. Characteristic elements have been retained and, where possible, strengthened. The original beams, among others, have been restored and remain visible, so that the apartment keeps its authentic atmosphere. The apartment has also been fully renewed, with modern installations, good insulation and a careful finish. The result is an apartment in which history and contemporary comfort come together naturally. Layout Through your own entrance you step into the living area of approximately 100 m². The open kitchen, dining area and sitting room flow pleasantly into one another and together form the heart of the apartment. The ceiling height on the ground floor is considerable and contributes directly to the sense of space and light. A custom-made Velux skylight brings additional daylight deep into the apartment. Combined with the large windows, the new wooden floor and the open layout, this creates a light and atmospheric living floor. The bespoke kitchen is a real eye-catcher, with natural-stone countertops, a generous kitchen island with bar, Siemens built-in appliances, a Quooker tap and a wine cooler. The island makes the space equally suited to cooking and to drinks or long evenings with friends and family. At the rear lies the sitting room, with French doors opening onto the sheltered courtyard of approximately 9 m² on the west side. A pleasant outdoor space for a cup of coffee or a glass of wine in the afternoon or evening sun. The ground floor also features underfloor heating, a cloakroom and a separate guest toilet. On the first floor lies the spacious master bedroom of approximately 28 m². The two French balconies bring in additional light and air. The ensuite bathroom is generously sized and features a walk-in rain shower, a double sink and a toilet. A laundry area has been arranged on the landing. On the second floor lies the second bedroom of approximately 25 m², also with its own ensuite bathroom with walk-in shower, sink and toilet. The adjoining technical room also offers space for additional storage. Thanks to the spacious living area on the ground floor, the apartment is flexible in its layout. Anyone wanting an extra room could add a third bedroom, workspace or guest room here. This makes the apartment suitable for a range of uses, from a city home for a couple to a family apartment or pied-à-terre with workspace or guest room. Surroundings Laurierstraat is one of those streets where the charm of the Jordaan is still genuinely felt. Quiet and full of character, with everything that makes Amsterdam appealing right around the corner. The Prinsengracht is at the end of the street and the Nine Streets are within short walking distance. The immediate surroundings include boutiques, coffee shops, restaurants, specialty stores and cafés. The Noordermarkt, the Lindengracht market and various supermarkets are also nearby. For relaxation, Westerpark, Vondelpark and Westergasterrein are easily reached by bike. For families, the location is practical, with several primary schools, daycare centres and playgrounds in the neighbourhood. Accessibility is excellent. Several tram and bus lines are within walking distance, Amsterdam Central Station is around 7 minutes by bike and the A10 ring road is quickly reached via the western connecting routes. Here you live in the middle of the city, in a place that feels surprisingly quiet.
