Atmospheric and cleverly laid-out 1-bedroom apartment on freehold land of approx. 50 m² gross (38 m² net), featuring a spacious roof terrace and a new foundation.
Located in a quiet spot along one of Amsterdam’s oldest canals, right in the heart of the historic city centre, this charming and surprisingly spacious 1-bedroom apartment offers a sunny roof terrace. The property is situated on freehold land (no leasehold) and is located on the third and top floor of a well-maintained building. Although the apartment measures approximately 38 m² according to NEN 2580 standards, it feels significantly more spacious. Thanks to its smart layout, generous gross floor area of approx. 50 m², and efficiently usable sloped ceilings, the home offers more living space than the square meters suggest. An ideal starter home or pied-à-terre in the heart of the city.
The location combines the best of both worlds: the vibrancy of the city centre within easy reach, while offering peace and privacy at home. The apartment is situated on a relatively quiet stretch of canal, while hotspots such as Nieuwmarkt, Dam Square, the Jordaan, and the Canal Belt are all within walking distance. Amsterdam Central Station is approximately an 8-minute walk away. Public transport (metro, tram, and bus) is excellent and located just around the corner.
In the immediate surroundings, you’ll find a wide range of restaurants, cafés, shops, and cultural amenities, from De Bijenkorf and Kalverstraat to boutiques, theatres, concert halls, and cinemas.

Roof terrace
A fixed staircase leads to the legally permitted roof terrace (built in 2017), measuring almost 10 m² and offering stunning views. A rare feature in this part of Amsterdam. Thanks to its favourable orientation, you can enjoy sunshine here throughout most of the day and into the evening. Next to the staircase is a practical storage cupboard, ideal for garden furniture and cushions.
