Nieuwe Achtergracht 9-31018 XT AmsterdamWeesperbuurt

Living on a canal, overlooking the water and historic buildings, yet away from the bustle of the city center — that’s exactly what Nieuwe Achtergracht 9-3 has to offer. This bright and well-maintained top-floor apartment combines character with comfort. With a new foundation, recently renewed roof (2025), open views, and a legally assigned roof (with potential for a roof terrace or extension), this is a rare opportunity on one of Amsterdam’s quietest canals. FEATURES - Unobstructed view of the historic fire station and old diamond market - New foundation (2019) and completely renewed roof (2025, L&S Dakbeheer) - Roof legally assigned to the apartment – possibility for roof terrace or extension - French balcony facing the canal - Healthy and active homeowners’ association (VvE) - Leasehold paid off until 2039, then fixed under favorable conditions - Energy label C - New central heating system (2025) - Insulated walls, floors, and roof - Built around 1908 - Living area approx. 65 m² - Outdoor space of approx. 22 m² LIVING The apartment occupies the third and top floor of a characteristic building on the Nieuwe Achtergracht. From the moment you enter, the light and tranquility stand out. The living room, with three large windows and French doors opening to the canal, offers a charming view of the water and the historic fire station. Thanks to the room’s generous width, 2.60 m high ceilings, and the quiet, low-traffic location, the space feels both spacious and serene. A great place to live and work. The light laminate flooring and smooth wall and ceiling finishes enhance the bright atmosphere. Being on the top floor means complete privacy and no upstairs neighbors. KITCHEN The kitchen is located in the center of the apartment, beneath a skylight that floods the space with natural light — even on cloudy days. It’s simple but neat, efficiently laid out, and equipped with all basic amenities. From the kitchen you reach the flat roof via a fixed staircase. SLEEPING & BATHING At the rear is the spacious bedroom, large enough for a double bed, wardrobe, and small workspace. The bathroom is bright and well-kept, featuring a shower, toilet, sink, and bidet. Daylight also enters through a skylight. With a minor adjustment to the layout (for example, moving the kitchen into the living room), a second bedroom can easily be created. OUTDOOR LIVING Facing the canal is a French balcony — perfect for a morning coffee in the sun or a glass of wine at sunset. The roof, legally belonging to the apartment, offers great potential. It’s accessible via a fixed staircase and currently partly set up with decking tiles and planters. The homeowners’ association already has experience realizing roof terraces (number 13 has installed a railing and obtained a permit), so this option is within reach for number 9-3 as well. The foundation has been prepared for an additional structure. Want something truly special? With municipal approval, you can create your own roof terrace or even an extra floor — a rare opportunity in the heart of the city. LOCATION The Nieuwe Achtergracht is one of Amsterdam’s quietest canals, with a village-like charm in the middle of the city. The street is low-traffic and only accessible to local residents; children play outside, and neighbors know each other by name. The property is also close to higher education institutions and the university and has a good connection to Schiphol. Within 5 minutes by bike you reach De Pijp or Oost, and within 10 minutes you can walk to Carré, the Utrechtsestraat, or Artis Zoo. Tram, bus, and metro (Weesperplein) are just around the corner, and the A10 ring road is easily accessible via the Wibautstraat. Culture, nature, and city life meet here: Oosterpark, Sarphatipark, Wertheimpark, and the Hortus Botanicus are all within walking distance. Groceries are available at supermarkets on Wibautstraat or the Dappermarkt, while cafés and restaurants can be found throughout the Plantagebuurt and along the Amstel.
