Tour
On the Nieuwe Herengracht, number 5 marks a distinguished building with three French balconies adorning the second floor. The entrance lies at street level, with a staircase renewed in 1939. This floor houses a carefully designed apartment featuring generous ceiling height, abundant natural light and a serene atmosphere.
The living room at the front benefits from the full width of the façade. The ceiling height between the exposed beams approaches three metres. Three sets of double doors open onto French balconies with views over the Walter Süskind Bridge and the H’Art Museum. Natural light pours into the space, while the layout remains clear and open.
A wide-plank oak floor extends throughout all rooms. In the living area, a custom-built round bench with a dining table defines the dining space. Centrally positioned in the floorplan, the open kitchen was renovated in 2018 under the guidance of interior consultant Dorith Jessurun. Compact yet complete, the kitchen is fitted with a dishwasher, hob, oven and microwave. Open shelving adds a sense of lightness and accessibility. At the rear lies the bedroom, connected to a north-facing balcony that spans the full width of the apartment. This outdoor space is sheltered and accessed via double doors. The room features a built-in wardrobe, a tranquil ambience and a functional, refined layout. The en suite bathroom includes a walk-in shower and a minimalist washbasin. Materials have been carefully selected; the colour palette is neutral. The continuation of the oak flooring into this space contributes to a strong sense of cohesion throughout the home. The residence forms part of a 1905 building, which was subdivided in 1940 into a retail space and four upper apartments. The foundation was renewed in 2022. On the ground floor, a private storage room provides additional practicality. The setting is both central and peaceful, with metro and tram connections nearby. The Wibautstraat provides easy access by car. Water, greenery and urban amenities are all close at hand.
Nieuwe Herengracht 5 – 2 is a well-maintained and efficient apartment in a unique location in the heart of Amsterdam.
What the owner will miss
“What I will likely miss most is the magnificent view over the canal. With the three doors wide open, daylight would stream in abundantly. Sitting with the doors open and the view of Amsterdam’s oldest elm right outside, my home felt like a peaceful oasis. The sunlight reflecting off the water often created dazzling light displays on the ceiling.”
Neighbourhood
This apartment is located in the centre of Amsterdam, just around the corner from the Amstel River. A remarkable location, offering an abundance of activities and sights. The Utrechtsestraat is nearby and provides every conceivable amenity, from artisan bakers and butchers to high-end fashion and specialty shops.
The Amstelveld hosts a flower market on Mondays, and the Hermitage’s inner garden features an organic market on Saturdays. The central location offers excellent accessibility and seamless connection to the wider city.
