Authentic Amsterdam living simply doesn't get better than this.
Spanning across two floors, the property offers a generous, open living space on the lower level that flows seamlessly into the dining area and the modern kitchen island at the rear.

LAYOUT
First Floor (Living Area): Via the communal staircase, you reach the apartment's entrance on the second floor of the building. Upon entering, you are immediately welcomed into a bright, expansive living space. The living area sits to your right and stretches across the entire width of the apartment, bathed in natural light. Moving toward the rear, the dining area effortlessly connects the living room to the kitchen. Designed centered around an impressive island, the kitchen is a chef's dream and perfect for entertaining groups of friends. From the kitchen, you have direct access to the balcony. While you find Haarlemmerstraat at the front, this outdoor space offers an unexpected oasis of tranquility and relaxation at the back. Conveniently adjacent to the kitchen is a built-in closet for extra storage. A separate guest toilet with a washbasin can also be found on this floor.
Second Floor (Sleeping Quarters): The signature orange staircase leads you up to the top floor. Tucked beneath a charming pointed wood beamed cathedral roof, you will find two equally sized bedrooms—one facing the street and the other facing the peaceful inner gardens. The absolute highlight is the bedroom at the rear, boasting a spectacular cathedral ceiling and a characteristic historic upper window dating back to the building's original construction in 1760 —offering a wonderful breeze on balmy summer nights. Positioned between both bedrooms is the modern bathroom, fully equipped with a walk-in shower, a second toilet, a sink, and additional integrated storage with space for your washer/dryer.
Storage: Storage is never an issue here. Beyond the closets, there is a practical attic space accessible above the second bedroom, as well as a private storage unit located in the basement of the building.
While the property proudly dates back to 1760, it offers absolute modern comfort. In the year 2000, the entire building underwent a thorough, high-standard structural overhaul. The plumbing, electrical systems, and core structural elements were completely modernized, ensuring care-free living in a historic gem.
