Planciusstraat 17-E1013 MD AmsterdamWestelijke eilanden

Fantastic loft apartment on the second floor, accessible by elevator, offering over 220 m² of living pleasure, located on the water and virtually all on one level. The beautiful natural light, robust finishes, elevator that opens directly into the apartment, the urban, almost un-Amsterdam-like appearance, and the intimate, homely feeling make this a unique place. And all of this right in the heart of the city. For many, this is the real Amsterdam experience, with everything literally around the corner. The apartment has a façade width of almost 10 meters and a depth of nearly 21 meters and is situated in a former warehouse. It is directly on the water and provides an optimal Prinseneiland feeling. The ceiling height of almost 4.5 meters, the many large windows, the various usage possibilities, the waterside location, and the private land make this apartment a true ‘hidden gem.’ Layout Wide entrance with spacious communal hall and access to the elevator. Upon entering the apartment on the second floor, the impressive ceiling height of approximately 4.32 meters immediately stands out; this height is present in the majority of the home, giving the rooms a loft-like atmosphere with plenty of light and air. What makes this home extra special is that the elevator opens directly into the apartment, providing an exclusive, safe, and comfortable sense of arriving home. The central entrance gives access to the various rooms. Immediately to the right is a large wardrobe/utility storage, very practical for extra belongings and coats. From the entrance, you walk into the spacious living room, which, thanks to the high ceilings and open layout, forms a true living space. Adjacent is the dining area, connected to the open kitchen. The spacious kitchen with an island is at the front of the house. The kitchen, living room, and dining area are connected by two large pillars and feature large windows at the front with two French balconies. The living area is particularly generous (approximately 90 m²) and has a beautiful wooden floor. Despite the height and size, the space feels very comfortable, with cozy corners and plenty of room for art or musical instruments. If desired, the current laundry area can easily be converted into an extra study or playroom. Above, there is a very spacious loft, which is not included in the living space but can be considered an absolute bonus. The current owners have previously used this loft as a children’s play area, TV/lounge space, or study. The height here is 1.81 meters, so this space is officially classified as other interior space. The central heating unit is also housed in a closed cabinet here. The home features three bedrooms at the rear of the apartment, offering privacy and tranquility. The master bedroom has a large, tall closet and access to the terrace at the rear. Between the bedrooms and the two bathrooms is a hallway (with a separate toilet and laundry area) that logically connects the various spaces and leads to a unique feature: a hidden gentlemen’s toilet. A special detail is that the two children’s rooms are connected but can also be separated, each with a playful sleeping loft (height 1.81 meters). At the rear is a terrace (seven meters wide), accessible from all bedrooms, serving as an extension of indoor living. An additional storage unit can be rented through the Owners’ Association (currently included in the service costs) if needed. Surroundings Located in a beautiful and quiet spot on the main waterway of the Smallepadsgracht, yet close to the vibrancy of the Western Canal Belt, Haarlemmerstraat, and Jordaan. The Noordermarkt, Westermarkt, and Westerpark are within walking distance. This ‘one-of-a-kind’ apartment is ideal for those who love the charm of Amsterdam but also want to retreat to the unique Prinseneiland. The Jordaan is within walking distance, and Central Station is only a five-minute bike ride away. Haarlemmerdijk/-straat, with its trendy shops and delicatessens such as Marqt, Ekoplaza, and Stach, is also nearby. In addition, there are typical Jordaan cafés and excellent restaurants such as Toscanini, Café de Koot, Calisto, De Willem, and Tannay, making this neighborhood especially attractive. The Noordermarkt with its organic market on Saturdays is just around the corner, as are Slagerij Louman and the famous apple pie from Winkel 43, both Amsterdam institutions. Prinseneiland The picturesque and quiet Prinseneiland, a hidden gem in the center of Amsterdam, lies directly behind Planciusstraat and is visible from the terrace. Residents range from artists to carpenters, and from families to musicians. Prinseneiland is a village in the city: a car-restricted area (only local traffic), accessible via only two bridges, where neighbors still know each other. The island has beautiful communal gardens by the water, accessible to residents.
