Oudeschans 17-21011 KR AmsterdamUilenburg

NEW FOR SALE: Atmospheric and monumental apartment of approx. 74 m², rich in character, situated in one of the finest locations in Amsterdam. Set in an exceptionally beautiful location in the heart of the capital, this charming and characterful apartment of approximately 74 m² presents itself. It may sound like a bold claim, yet it is no exaggeration: this residence offers a rare combination of history, tranquility, and views one would normally associate with picture postcards. Situated along the stately Oudeschans, with sweeping views over the gently flowing canal, the iconic Montelbaanstoren and the picturesque Oude Waal, one is transported to another era. All of this within a monumental canal house, yet remarkably quiet and sheltered. A residence particularly suited to lovers of the old city, its rich history and cultural charm. LAYOUT: Via the well-maintained communal staircase, the entrance on the second floor is reached. The hallway provides space for coats and leads to nearly all rooms. The generous living room at the front is bathed in natural light through large windows, offering a living tableau of Amsterdam’s streetscape and the water beyond. The space is perfectly suited for both a comfortable seating area and an inviting dining area. Centrally located within the apartment is the separate kitchen, equipped with the necessary appliances and ample storage space. Two windows facing the courtyard provide pleasant natural light. At the rear of the property lies the spacious bedroom, featuring windows both to the outside and overlooking the ???? inner courtyard. The bathroom is fitted with a shower, washbasin with vanity unit, and toilet. Notably, both the living room and the kitchen have their own separate entrances from the staircase, offering flexible layout possibilities. The corridor between the front and rear sections features built-in storage, two windows facing the courtyard, and a separate cupboard housing the central heating system. HOMEOWNERS’ ASSOCIATION (HOA): The Homeowners’ Association is active and financially sound, with a long-term maintenance plan and building insurance in place. The monthly service charges amount to €100. The property is situated on freehold land, meaning no ground lease applies. In recent years, the building has been carefully maintained and improved, including façade restoration and painting, refurbishment of the staircase, renewal of the intercom system, and partial roof replacement. The foundation is in good condition. LOCATION: The apartment is located on the historic island of Uilenburg, a unique and highly desirable part of Amsterdam’s city centre. Due to its position and the absence of through traffic, the area enjoys a remarkable sense of tranquility—rare in the bustling centre. Within a stone’s throw are the lively Nieuwmarkt, Jodenbreestraat and Waterlooplein, offering a wide variety of shops, markets and restaurants. Yet Uilenburg itself remains an oasis of calm. Accessibility is excellent: Nieuwmarkt metro station, various tram and bus connections, as well as Amsterdam Central Station are all within walking distance. By car, the A10 ring road is easily reached via the IJ tunnel. THE ISLAND: Uilenburg is distinguished by its unique location and atmosphere. Away from the main tourist routes, yet right in the heart of the city, it offers a rare sense of serenity. One wakes here to the sound of birds rather than the bustle of the city. Numerous cultural institutions are within walking distance, including the Rembrandt House Museum, the National Maritime Museum, the Stopera, and the Jewish Cultural Quarter. For greenery and relaxation, Artis Zoo, the Hortus Botanicus and the Marineterrein are all nearby.
