Characterful Amsterdam Townhouse of 144 m² Overlooking the Water

With the waterfront right outside, Nieuwmarkt, the Marineterrein and the Plantage neighbourhood just around the corner, and Amsterdam Central Station only a ten-minute walk away, this is city living at its finest.
Layout
Ground Floor
At the front of the property, the generous living room enjoys beautiful views over the water and the quay. There is ample space for a large seating area, while the fireplace adds warmth, atmosphere and character.
The open-plan kitchen, fitted with built-in appliances, forms the heart of this floor and offers plenty of room for a large dining table. From the kitchen, doors open directly onto the patio, where a picnic table currently serves as an additional outdoor dining area. With the doors open, indoor and outdoor living blend seamlessly together, creating a peaceful oasis in the very centre of Amsterdam.
This floor also features a spacious bedroom with its own bathroom and a separate toilet.
Lower Ground Floor
The lower ground floor comprises two bedrooms, a private bathroom with toilet, and a separate storage room.
The wide central hallway is currently used as a play area but offers plenty of possibilities, such as a home office or additional storage space. The entire floor benefits from underfloor heating. This level provides a fully functional and independent living area, ideal for children, overnight guests or visitors. There is even the possibility of creating a separate entrance, offering a degree of privacy rarely found in an apartment.
First Floor
The upper floor is situated in the rear section of the property and offers a wonderfully versatile space. With a living area of approximately 11 m², a spacious bathroom featuring a bathtub, and direct access to the roof terrace, this floor can be adapted to suit a variety of needs. Currently used as a home office, it could equally serve as a fourth bedroom, guest suite, studio or additional living space.
Roof Terrace
The southwest-facing roof terrace measures approximately 21 m² and offers ample room for a dining table, a lounge area and plenty of greenery. Whether enjoying a quiet morning coffee, long summer evenings with friends or a glass of wine at the end of the day, this is a wonderful place to unwind. Right in the heart of the city, yet elevated above the bustle, with birdsong providing a peaceful backdrop. Peace and Quiet in a Vibrant Location The property is situated on the quieter eastern side of Prins Hendrikkade, with all bedrooms positioned towards the rear. As a result, the interior is remarkably peaceful, while the vibrant atmosphere of Amsterdam is right on the doorstep.
Thanks to its excellent insulation and the comprehensive renovation carried out throughout the property in 2019, the indoor climate remains comfortable all year round: pleasantly cool in summer and warm and cosy in winter.
What makes this property particularly special is its layout across three floors. Living, working and sleeping areas can be genuinely separated, creating the comfort and privacy of a townhouse combined with a level of flexibility rarely found in Amsterdam's historic centre.
