Apartment for sale at Amsterdam with reference 19410314477 Korte Prinsengracht 16 box A, 1013 GS Amsterdam

—Ref. AM108230

In the beautiful historic building “Het Pachvys van de Gouwe Wagen”, located on a wonderfully quiet part of the Korte Prinsengracht in the charming Jordaan district of Amsterdam, you’ll find this unique, single-level residence with a living area of no less than 253 m², accessible by both elevator and stairs.

This exceptional home features two spacious living rooms, multiple bedrooms, a study, three bathrooms, a living kitchen, and two sunny terraces.

This monumental warehouse, dating from 1656, exudes history and character and is situated on freehold land. Under the supervision of the architectural firm Claus en Kaan, the building was converted in 1992 into five luxurious apartments. In 2002, two of these apartments were combined into one warm and atmospheric home.

From the stately entrance on the ground floor, you reach the generous hallway, from which the first floor can be accessed via the lift or wide staircase. Due to its expansive and single-level layout, the home offers great flexibility for various configurations.

In the current layout, the front side of the apartment features a spacious living room with a (gas) fireplace and a beautiful view over the canal. Centrally located is the luxurious living kitchen, equipped with various built-in appliances. In total, there are two bedrooms and three bathrooms. A second living room is situated at the rear, also with a (gas) fireplace and access to a study/extra bedroom overlooking the terrace. At the rear, there are two sunny terraces, one on the first floor and one on the second, both facing west.

Thanks to the thick walls of the historic warehouse, the home remains pleasantly cool in summer and energy-efficient in winter. The serene and secure atmosphere of this residence truly has to be experienced to be believed.

Surroundings & Accessibility:
The property is ideally situated in a quiet part of the picturesque Korte Prinsengracht, right around the corner from the Haarlemmerdijk in the heart of the Jordaan. The Amsterdam canal belt, a UNESCO World Heritage site, makes this location particularly special.
