Planciusstraat 17-E1013 MD AmsterdamWestelijke eilanden

Fantastic loft apartment on the second floor offering over 220 m² of living enjoyment, situated directly on the water and almost entirely single-level, accessible by elevator. The stunning natural light, industrial finishes, and the elevator opening directly into the apartment create a metropolitan, almost New York-style atmosphere rarely found in Amsterdam. At the same time, it feels warm, intimate, and homely. A truly unique place, right in the heart of the city, just around the corner from the Jordaan district. For many, this is the true Amsterdam lifestyle, with everything literally just around the corner. The apartment has an impressive façade width of almost 10 meters and a depth of nearly 21 meters and is located in a former warehouse building. Positioned directly on the water, it offers the ultimate Prinseneiland feeling. Ceiling heights of nearly 4.5 meters, numerous large windows, flexible layout possibilities, the waterfront location, and freehold ownership make this apartment a genuine hidden gem. Layout A wide entrance with a 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 extends throughout most of the property. It gives the spaces a loft-like atmosphere filled with light and openness. What makes this home even more special is that the elevator opens directly into the apartment, creating an exclusive, secure, and comfortable sense of arriving home and leaving.The centrally positioned entrance hall provides access to the various rooms. Immediately to the right is a large wardrobe/storage room, ideal for coats and additional storage. From the entrance, you continue into the spacious living room, which forms the heart of the home thanks to its high ceilings and open-plan layout. Adjacent is the dining room, seamlessly connected to the open-plan kitchen.bThe generous kitchen with cooking island is located at the front of the apartment. The kitchen, living room, and dining room are connected by two large pillars and feature expansive front-facing windows with two French balconies. The living area is exceptionally spacious (approximately 90 m²) and features beautiful wooden flooring. Despite its scale and height, the space feels warm and inviting, with cozy corners and plenty of room for art or musical instruments. If desired, the current laundry room can easily be converted into an additional study or playroom. Above this area is a very spacious mezzanine level, not included in the official living area measurements but considered an absolute bonus. The current owners have previously used this mezzanine as a children’s play area, TV/lounge space, and/or study. The ceiling height here is 1.81 meters, which officially classifies it as ancillary indoor space. The central heating boiler is also located here in a closed cabinet. The apartment features three bedrooms, all situated at the rear of the property, offering peace and privacy. The master bedroom includes a large built-in wardrobe and access to the rear terrace. Between the bedrooms and the two bathrooms is a hallway with a separate toilet and laundry room, logically connecting the various spaces and leading to a unique hidden gentlemen’s toilet. A charming detail is that the two children’s bedrooms are interconnected but can also be separated, each featuring a playful sleeping loft (height 1.81 meters). At the rear of the apartment is a southeast-facing terrace (seven meters wide), accessible from all bedrooms and functioning as a natural extension of the interior living space. An additional storage room can be rented through the Owners’ Association (currently included in the service charges), if desired. Surroundings Located in a beautiful and quiet setting along the Smallepadsgracht canal, while still close to the lively western canal belt, Haarlemmerstraat, and the Jordaan district. Noordermarkt, Westermarkt, and Westerpark are all within walking distance. This one-of-a-kind apartment is ideal for those who love the charm of Amsterdam but also appreciate retreating to the unique atmosphere of Prinseneiland. The Jordaan is within walking distance, and Central Station is only a five-minute bike ride away. The nearby Haarlemmerdijk and Haarlemmerstraat offer trendy shops and delicatessens, including Marqt, Ekoplaza, and Stach. The neighborhood also features classic Jordaan cafés and excellent restaurants such as Toscanini, Café de Koot, Calisto, De Willem, and Restaurant Tannay, making the area especially desirable. Noordermarkt, with its organic market on Saturdays, is just around the corner, as are Slagerij Louman and the famous apple pie at Winkel 43, both iconic Amsterdam institutions. Prinseneiland Picturesque and peaceful Prinseneiland, a hidden gem in the center of Amsterdam, lies directly behind Planciusstraat and is visible from the terrace. The island is home to a wonderfully diverse mix of residents: artists, craftsmen, families, and musicians alike. Prinseneiland feels like a village within the city: a low-traffic neighborhood (accessible mainly to local traffic), reached via only two bridges, where neighbors still know each other. The island also offers beautiful shared waterfront gardens accessible to residents of the neighborhood.
