Derde Weteringdwarsstraat 421017 TC AmsterdamWeteringbuurt

CHARACTERFUL LIVING, A SUNNY GARDEN AND A REMARKABLE STORY Some homes have a history that immediately sparks your curiosity. Derde Weteringdwarsstraat 42 is one of them. Behind its historic façade, you will find approximately 181 m² of living space, high ceilings and a generous south-facing garden. An exceptional home in the much-loved Weteringbuurt, where Ramses Shaffy lived, worked and made music for many years. Built in 1737, this listed national monument stands on freehold land and forms part of the former workers’ houses commissioned by the Burgerweeshuis, Amsterdam’s historic municipal orphanage. The foundations were renewed in 2002, and the kitchens and bathrooms were renovated in 2022. Historic character meets updated amenities, with plenty of scope to make the home your own. A HOME WITH A STORY From 1959 to 1983, Ramses Shaffy lived here with the great love of his life, actor Joop Admiraal. During those years, the house hosted exuberant parties and late-night music sessions. This remarkable history gives the address a distinctive place in Amsterdam’s cultural heritage. The property belongs to a group of lower and upper dwellings behind a shared façade with a straight cornice. These workers’ houses were commissioned by the Burgerweeshuis as rental properties, originally comprising separate lower and upper homes. The home still has two front doors but has officially been combined into a single dwelling. The property offered for sale comprises the entire building, excluding part of the lower ground floor. A permit allowing five people to share the home is also in place. LIVING AND ENJOYING Raised ground floor and lower ground floor The entrance opens into a hallway, providing access to the bedroom at the front and the centrally located bathroom. The bathroom features a shower, double washbasin and toilet. At the rear is a spacious room that can be used as either a living room or a bedroom. A ceiling height of approximately 3.48 metres gives the raised ground floor an impressive sense of space. A staircase from the rear room leads down to the kitchen in the rear section of the lower ground floor. The kitchen opens onto the approximately 66 m² rear garden. Its south-facing aspect, privacy and generous proportions make it a wonderful place for outdoor dining, gardening or simply relaxing in the sunshine. Private rear access via Weteringstraat also makes the garden conveniently accessible. First floor The second entrance on the raised ground floor provides access to the first floor via a staircase. This level features a kitchen at the front and a spacious living room at the rear. Top floor and attic The top floor accommodates three spacious bedrooms and a second bathroom with a walk-in shower, double washbasin and toilet. Connections for a washing machine and dryer are available on the landing. A folding loft ladder leads to the attic of approximately 16.8 m², with standing height beneath the roof ridge.
