Singel 145

Magnificent 1790 Canal House on the Singel with Private Basement, Patio and Stunning Canal Views

Located on the Singel, near the iconic Multatuli Bridge and the much-loved Café Van Zuylen, we are delighted to offer this distinctive 1790 Rijksmonument (national heritage monument) for sale. Its characteristic neck gable and original architectural details make this a truly exceptional property within Amsterdam’s historic canal belt.
The property offers an official living area of 150 m² (in accordance with the measurement report), complemented by a generous basement of approximately 45 m² with its own kitchen, bringing the total usable floor area to approximately 195 m². The property is situated on freehold land (no ground lease) and features a private patio of approximately 7 m². In addition, there is potential to create a second outdoor space of approximately 8 m² on the first floor.
Numerous authentic details have been beautifully preserved throughout the house: exposed beams, fireplaces, wall paintings and original window glazing divisions tell the story of more than two centuries of habitation. Until recently, the property was a warm and welcoming family home for a family with three children. A truly unique opportunity to live in one of Amsterdam’s most sought-after locations, surrounded by all the historic character and grandeur that comes with it.

Location
The property is beautifully situated on the Singel, close to the characteristic Multatuli Bridge and within walking distance of the much-loved traditional café Van Zuylen — a familiar landmark on the corner of the Singel and Torensteeg for decades. Living in the heart of Amsterdam’s canal district means living in a vibrant piece of world history: the area has been listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2010. Characteristic façades, stately trees lining the canals and an intimate, historic atmosphere define the streetscape.
Dam Square, home to the Royal Palace and De Bijenkorf, is just a few minutes’ walk away, as is the lively city centre with its boutiques, restaurants, galleries and cultural venues. The Nine Streets, Spui and Kalverstraat are also nearby. Public transport (tram and metro connections around Dam Square and Rokin) is easily accessible, as are routes towards Schiphol Airport and the A10 ring road.
