Laurierstraat 22-H1016 PM AmsterdamElandsgrachtbuurt

Distinctive allure in the heart of the Jordaan On the corner of Prinsengracht and Laurierstraat, in one of the quietest streets of the Jordaan, lie two adjoining ground-floor maisonettes that together form one remarkable home. Spread across three levels, with at least four bedrooms, four ensuite bathrooms, an interconnected living floor and an extra-wide sheltered west-facing courtyard. The total living area is approximately 302 m² (NEN 2580). Two separate front entrances on the street create a combination of international allure that is rare in this part of Amsterdam: the scale of a townhouse with the flexibility of two self-contained units under one roof. Multifunctionality in the broadest sense of the word. The renovation has been carried out with attention to detail. New wooden floors, bespoke kitchens, modern installations, a new foundation and a newly insulated roof. This exceptional apartment has been awarded energy label A. 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 building its distinctive character today. Especially when the two maisonettes are inhabited as a single home, a sense of space emerges 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. The building has also been fully renewed, with modern installations, good insulation and a careful finish. Layout There are two separate entrances on Laurierstraat, which makes the property exceptionally suitable for using part of it as an office. On the ground floor, the two living floors are connected by folding partitions: opened, they create one continuous living area; closed, each side retains its own privacy. On the Laurierstraat 20 side lies a spacious open kitchen with natural-stone countertops, a kitchen island with bar, Siemens built-in appliances, a Quooker tap and a wine cooler. Between the two areas a skylight has been installed that brings in additional daylight and elegantly connects the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen flows into a dining area and a sitting room at the rear, with French doors opening onto the wide courtyard. On the Laurierstraat 22 side lies a second bespoke kitchen, with a sitting and dining area that also opens onto the courtyard at the rear. At the heart of the ground floor lies a bright connecting space with a second custom-made Velux skylight, suitable as a study, media room or fifth bedroom. Both sides have a separate guest toilet and a cloakroom on the ground floor. The rear of the building has been completely rebuilt. The bedrooms have no upstairs neighbours. On the first floor lie two spacious master bedrooms, each with its own ensuite bathroom (walk-in rain shower, double sink and toilet). A laundry area has been arranged on each side of the landing. On the second floor lie two further bedrooms, also each with their own ensuite bathroom (walk-in shower, sink and toilet). Both floors are accessible via separate spiral staircases, which means the building can naturally be divided into two self-contained parts. In total the building offers four bedrooms (with the option of a fifth and even a sixth), four ensuite bathrooms, two guest toilets and two laundry areas. Living and working The two separate entrances are a distinctive feature of this property. For anyone working from home, receiving clients or patients, or running their own practice, this provides an ideal arrangement: one door for professional life, one for private life. Thanks to the folding partitions on the ground floor, the professional area can be fully separated from the living space, with its own toilet and cloakroom directly at the entrance. Suitable for lawyers, therapists, designers, consultants, artists and other professionals where discretion, space and accessibility need to come together. On one side you live in luxury, and in the detached rear wing you sleep peacefully and privately. The other side on the ground floor is for receiving guests, holding meetings or focused work. For those who prefer to inhabit the property as a whole, the apartment can be used as one continuous home. 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 (Negen Straatjes) 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.
