Noorderstraat 70

Fairytale Living on Noorderstraat

Every now and then, something truly special comes along. This charming property, tucked away in a peaceful little street in the heart of Amsterdam, is exactly that. Behind its characteristic facade lies a warm, cozy, and full-of-character home that instantly embraces you.

Lovingly maintained and styled with care and personality, this national monument is a true gem for those who appreciate historic charm. And to top it all off: a lush, sun-drenched garden stretching an impressive 20 meters deep — a rare luxury in the city.

Location
Noorderstraat is a tranquil, idyllic street in one of the most beloved and peaceful areas of Amsterdam’s canal belt, just around the corner from the picturesque Reguliersgracht. It’s a uniquely central yet serene location, with the vibrant inner city just a short stroll away — minus the hustle and bustle.

The neighborhood offers an excellent mix of culture, gastronomy, and convenience. Think of the popular Buffet van Odette, Brasserie Nel, and several other restaurants and cafés—including two Michelin-starred establishments. At Amstelveld or along Utrechtsestraat, you'll find many more delightful spots. Especially the latter street boasts a variety of charming boutiques, diverse restaurants, and cozy terraces.

For daily groceries, there's an Albert Heijn supermarket on the nearby Vijzelstraat, along with a pharmacy and the renowned patisserie Holtkamp. Art enthusiasts can indulge in the Museum Van Loon, the FOAM Photography Museum, or the Museumplein—all within walking distance. The Stopera, Concertgebouw, and Carré are also easily accessible on foot.

For sports enthusiasts, the modern SportCity on Lijnbaansgracht is available. Parking is possible with a municipal parking permit. There are two parking garages nearby, and permit holders can use the garage on Vijzelgracht.

Public transportation via metro and tram provides quick access to Central Station, Station Zuid, Amstel Station, and Schiphol Airport. For drivers, exits S108 and S100 offer access to the A10 Ring Road.

Layout

A charming double door on the raised ground floor leads into a spacious hallway featuring a lovely built-in desk overlooking the street. One of the first things you’ll notice is the abundance of natural light flooding in through the large south-facing windows at the rear of the house.

From the hallway, you’ll find a guest toilet, a handy wardrobe, a cozy, slightly lower-positioned dining kitchen, and a slightly elevated living room with a working fireplace — a perfect space for relaxing. The kitchen provides access to the deep, sunlit garden: a lush, green retreat right in the heart of the city.

The traditional spiral staircase leads to the first floor, where you’ll find a stunning landing with a beautiful, authentic toilet featuring Delft blue details. The spacious primary bedroom at the rear offers a tranquil view over the garden and has a simple en-suite bathroom. At the front, a second bedroom includes a built-in wardrobe and a hidden washbasin.

A third, charming bedroom — accessed by a steep staircase from the main bedroom — offers additional storage space in the attic above.

The basement, also accessible from the street, includes large built-in closets, connections for a washing machine and dishwasher, and space for the central heating system. Throughout the home, you’ll find beautifully crafted built-in cabinets and bookshelves that provide ample storage space.
