Prinsengracht 1029-B1017 KP AmsterdamVijzelstraatbuurt

For sale in Amsterdam (Grachtengordel-Zuid): On the Prinsengracht, in the heart of the canal belt and within walking distance of the Utrechtsestraat, the Amstelveld and the Amstel, lies this spacious apartment of approx. 124 m² in De Arenden, a national monument (rijksmonument) converted into an apartment complex. The apartment features a generous living room overlooking the Prinsengracht, a spacious kitchen-diner with balcony and two bedrooms facing the green communal courtyard garden. The complex comprises several listed canal-side buildings dating from the sixteenth century and was converted into homes in 1979. The character of the former warehouse can still be felt throughout the apartment: the timber-beamed ceilings and the windows, among other features, create a distinctive atmosphere and allow for generous natural light. Little has changed inside the apartment since its conversion. This offers a buyer the ideal opportunity to renovate the apartment entirely to their own taste and vision and to make it truly their own. Artist’s impressions of the possibilities can be found in the listing. The complex itself has recently received considerable attention: the owners’ association (VvE) has carried out renovation works, including painting and works to the inner courtyard. With its exceptionally beautiful communal courtyard garden, a green oasis of calm in the middle of the city, this is a rare opportunity for anyone seeking space, character and a prime canal-side location.
