Oudegracht 401-AD3511 PH UtrechtSpringweg en omgeving Geertebuurt

Living on the historic Oudegracht in a listed national monument in Utrecht’s Museum Quarter The moment you step into the living room, you immediately understand why the current owner fell in love with this apartment thirteen years ago. The light. The height. The vaulted ceilings. The sense of calm in the middle of the city. Living in the former Martinus Church means living somewhere that cannot easily be captured in square metres or room counts. This is an apartment for those who consciously choose character, atmosphere and quality of life — right in the heart of Utrecht’s Museum Quarter, with the Oudegracht, museums, theatres, restaurants and terraces quite literally around the corner. And yet, it feels remarkably sheltered and green. In the living room, the natural light and impressive ceiling height immediately stand out. The large church windows and elegant lines of the former church building give the apartment an almost serene atmosphere, while the comfort fully reflects modern city living. The open-plan living area connects seamlessly to the kitchen and forms the heart of the home: a bright and inviting space where architecture and everyday life come together effortlessly. From the balcony, you look out over the green inner gardens and the trees lining the singel canal — a view you would hardly expect in such a central location. The former Martinus Church was carefully redeveloped in the 1990s into a distinctive residential building, while beautifully preserving its historic architecture. The monumental details, Gothic forms and impressive height give this property a character rarely found in the centre of Utrecht. On the square in front of the church stands the characteristic equestrian statue of Martinus, after whom the church was named — a subtle reminder of the building’s rich history. Here, you live in the heart of the city’s energy, yet return home to peace and space. A morning walk along the canals, an impromptu museum visit, dinner around the corner or an evening at the theatre — everything is within easy reach. At the same time, the apartment offers the tranquillity of a hidden retreat tucked away behind the city. A home like this is not simply about location or layout. It is about a way of life: comfortable living in a place full of character, surrounded by culture, history, greenery and the vibrancy of city life. The photographs offer an impression of the light, atmosphere, remarkable architecture and unexpected tranquillity in the middle of the city — but some places truly need to be experienced in person. Practical and comfortable living The apartment of approximately 78 m² is situated on the second floor of the former Sint Martinus Church, a listed national monument designed around 1900 by architect Alfred Tepe and carefully redeveloped into apartments in 1992 under the direction of architect Dolf de Maar. The apartment can be reached via both lift and staircase. The spacious living room with original vaulted ceilings, oak flooring and French doors opening onto the south-facing balcony forms the heart of the home. The semi-open kitchen is fitted with various built-in appliances and a natural stone worktop. In addition, the apartment offers a generous bedroom with built-in wardrobes and views over the church square, a bathroom with walk-in shower and vanity unit, a separate toilet, an internal storage room with space for a washing machine and dryer, and an additional private storage room on the ground floor. A particularly unique feature of the complex are the shared wharf cellars along the Oudegracht canal, where residents can store a canoe or SUP board, or gather by the water. The location combines the best of two worlds: the peace of a green and sheltered residential setting with the vibrancy of Utrecht’s historic city centre. The Twijnstraat, Ledig Erf, Zocherpark along the singel canals and the Kromme Rijn walking route towards Amelisweerd are all within walking distance. Utrecht Central Station, Vaartsche Rijn Station and the tram connection to Utrecht Science Park are also easily accessible. The service charges are expected to be increased by approximately 30% during the Owners' Association meeting in May. • Located in a listed national monument in Utrecht’s Museum Quarter • Part of the former Sint Martinus Church • Original vaulted ceilings fully preserved • Apartment of approximately 78 m² on the second floor • South-facing balcony overlooking the inner gardens • Accessible via both lift and staircase • Private storage room on the ground floor • Shared wharf cellars along the Oudegracht canal • District heating for heating and hot water • Located within a protected historic cityscape
