Staalstraat 11011 JJ AmsterdamZuiderkerkbuurt

A listed monument flooded with light! This stately townhouse holds official monument status, making it a solid investment. Spanning six levels, it’s located on the charming Staalstraat, right in the historic heart of Amsterdam. The home features three bedrooms, a rooftop terrace, and a carefully considered layout that emphasises space, light, and ceiling height. Original elements such as beamed ceilings, panelled walls and wooden floors have been preserved and seamlessly combined with contemporary finishes. Situated on freehold land. Staalstraat is one of Amsterdam’s oldest and most picturesque streets, with a near-village character and unique views of landmarks like the Staalmeestersbrug and the stunning Hotel De L’Europe, just a stone’s throw away. The property has its own entrance via a natural stone staircase directly from the street. In the basement, you’ll find the kitchen-diner—a surprisingly bright space with street-facing windows and a view of greenery. The classic black-and-white tiled floor, robust wooden beams, and modern kitchen setup with recent built-in appliances—including a combination steam/oven, combo microwave/oven, gas hob, Quooker, and dishwasher—create a warm and welcoming space. There’s ample room for a large dining table. Adjacent to this level is a separate cellar, ideal for additional storage. On the raised ground floor is the dining room, with three tall windows at the front allowing in plenty of daylight. The combination of herringbone parquet flooring, smooth plasterwork, and high ceilings gives the room a bright, elegant feel. A guest toilet is located in the hallway. One floor up, the living room stretches across nearly the entire width of the property. Again, three windows flood the room with natural light, offering a charming view over the vibrant Staalstraat. The wooden flooring, beamed ceiling, and subtle finishes give the space a calm and understated character. The second floor houses a bedroom, also with three tall windows. White panelled walls, an original wooden floor and dark ceiling beams form a strong and well-balanced aesthetic. Built-in wardrobes are neatly concealed, and a washbasin unit is positioned in the corner. The third floor is currently used as an atelier. With windows on both sides, built-in storage and exposed wooden trusses, this is a stylish and well-laid-out space that also works perfectly as an extra bedroom or home office. This level also features the bathroom, equipped with a walk-in shower, washbasin unit, and toilet. An air conditioning unit is installed here but is currently not operational and requires servicing. The top floor is a multifunctional room under the roof. With a ridge height of approximately 1.66 metres and windows on both sides, the space is surprisingly bright. From here, you can access the rooftop terrace—a sheltered spot with views over the city rooftops.
