See English translation below Tour On the edge of the canal belt, on one of the broader streets in Amsterdam’s city centre, stands this characterful five-level house on Vijzelgracht. Its dark façade with white window frames, three-window width, and classical raised entrance steps immediately give the property a recognisable and stately appearance. The bel étage is accessed via the stoop with its split stable door. Inside, the entrance hall, with dark slate flooring and a grey-green panelled ceiling, leads to the living room at the front. This room measures approximately 5.50 by 4.91 metres and has a ceiling height of three metres. Two tall sash windows bring in the morning light, while the richly profiled fireplace with cast-iron stove forms the focal point of the space. At the rear is the study/bedroom, finished in a warm olive-green palette with built-in bookcases, a slate floor, and views of the patio. Here, the afternoon sun enters the room. The basement is arranged as the kitchen and dining area. The kitchen has fronts in dark smoked oak, a black marble worktop with gold veining, and a generous island. Siemens StudioLine appliances, two ovens, a built-in Liebherr fridge and freezer with ice maker, and a floor of white marble and black bluestone give the space a distinctive and refined character. The patio can be accessed directly from the dining area. The secluded patio of approximately 26 m² is paved with brick and enclosed by high walls. Olive trees, a trained espalier tree, and green planting provide privacy and atmosphere. The afternoon sun falls generously here, and there is no overlooking from the street. On the first floor is the principal bedroom at the front, with two windows overlooking the Vijzelgracht, a ceiling height of approximately 3.10 metres, and a wall of built-in wardrobes. The bathroom is accessed through a steel-framed screen with frosted glass and includes a freestanding bath, oak vanity unit, walk-in shower, and Japanese toilet. The attic floor is a bright open space beneath the ridge, with pine roof trusses, wide pine floorboards, and rooflights on both sides. The ceiling height rises to approximately 3.91 metres. The layout offers space for two bedrooms. This floor also includes a bathroom, fitted with white tiles, a rain shower, and a Japanese toilet. The washbasins in all bathrooms were custom-cast locally by Meglio. All taps and showers are by Bongio. Above the attic floor is a storage loft with the central heating installation and a mezzanine. A remarkable property with five levels, historic details, and a secluded patio, in a central location close to Vijzelgracht metro station. What the current owners will miss "It feels special to have been able to be part of this house’s 350-year history, even for a while. We take many wonderful memories with us, especially of evenings spent here with friends and family. But one image will always stay with us: our first Christmas here, with the tree lit up in the living room, surrounded by the beautiful historic details of the house. We will never forget that moment." Neighbourhood The location on Vijzelgracht is exceptionally central, right at the crossroads of some of Amsterdam’s most beloved districts. The liveliness of De Pijp, the refinement of Utrechtsestraat, the cultural wealth around Museumplein, and the energy of Leidseplein are all within easy reach. For culture, this is a particularly rich part of the city. The Rijksmuseum, the Stedelijk Museum, and the Van Gogh Museum are nearby, as are Foam and the City Archives. There is also a wide choice for music, theatre, and nightlife, with the Concertgebouw, Carré, Paradiso, and Melkweg all close by. The neighbourhood offers a broad selection of restaurants, cafés, and specialty shops. For fine dining, Watergang, De Juwelier, and Veneur are popular addresses. Buffet van Odette and Café Caron offer a classic Amsterdam atmosphere, while lovers of Asian cuisine can visit places such as Isshin, An, Takeichi, Wagyu Kanata, Proper Indofood, NKThai, Xi’an Delicious Foods, and Taste of Culture. For coffee, drinks, or an informal evening out, there are many excellent spots nearby, including Café de Wetering, Café Brecht, Bar Mokum, Door 74, and La Dilettante. Shopping can be enjoyed in the many boutiques and fashion stores in the area, from Cowboys2Catwalk, Afura, and Maha to Tenue de Nîmes, Arket, and the shops on P.C. Hooftstraat. For daily groceries, the Albert Cuyp Market, butcher Alain Bernard, and Patisserie Holtkamp are close by. Cooking enthusiasts will also appreciate specialist addresses such as Duikelman and Karasu Knives within walking distance. Accessibility is excellent. Vijzelgracht metro station, part of the North–South line, is just around the corner and offers a fast connection to both Amsterdam Zuid and Amsterdam Central. Combined with the option of automated underground parking, this makes it a rare and comfortable location in the heart of the city.
