Located on the quiet and characterful Realengracht, in a popular part of Amsterdam’s canal belt, this special corner apartment of 126 m² is situated on freehold land. The property is located on the fourth and fifth (top) floors of a former warehouse that has been carefully transformed into comfortable and contemporary living, while retaining its characteristic appearance. The building is equipped with a lift, a private storage unit in the basement, and a beautifully landscaped communal garden. The fourth floor serves as the living level and is characterised by its atmosphere and sense of space. The spacious living room features French doors that offer unobstructed views over both the Bickersgracht and the Realengracht. A rotating open fireplace forms a stylish focal point in the room. At the rear, overlooking the green inner gardens, is the kitchen-diner with plenty of space for a large dining table. The simple kitchen includes a large, cosy bar but could benefit from an upgrade. The fifth floor houses the sleeping quarters. From the landing, there is access to the sheltered yet privately positioned rooftop terrace—a lovely place to enjoy the outdoors in peace. The front bedroom features a charming pull-out balcony and offers views of both the water and the city. A second bedroom is located at the rear. The bathroom is fully fitted with a bathtub, walk-in shower, washbasin, and a connection for a washing machine. There is also a separate toilet. Looking for an additional (third) bedroom or workspace? This can be realised relatively easily. Please refer to the suggested layouts in the floor plans for an inspiring alternative configuration. The apartment has a warm and inviting atmosphere thanks to the wooden floors and the combination of authentic elements with modern living comfort. In short, a unique and spacious apartment in a prime location, where tranquillity, space, and urban vibrancy come together harmoniously.
