Characterful Monumental Home in the Heart of Amsterdam.
Tucked away in a quiet and secluded setting behind the characteristic buildings along the Prins Hendrikkade, this remarkable monumental home of approximately 169 m² offers a rare combination of space, character and tranquillity in the heart of Amsterdam.
Originally built as a coach house in 1848, the property retains its distinctive character, with a private entrance, high ceilings, abundant natural light and a generous layout. The house comprises two main floors and an intermediate mezzanine.
The combination of a central location, a peaceful gated courtyard and private parking makes this a particularly special property. The generous proportions also offer scope to adapt the layout to your own requirements. The first floor currently comprises two rooms and may, subject to the possibilities of the layout, be reconfigured to create a third bedroom.
Location and Entrance
The property is accessed from the public road through a gated entrance, wide passage and private courtyard. The gates are operated by remote control and close automatically, creating a comfortable, secure and secluded residential setting.
The house is entered through a generous hallway with cloakroom and separate toilet. The spacious living room has a distinctive loft-like character, high ceilings and three sets of French doors opening onto the courtyard, providing abundant natural light and a strong connection with the outdoor space.
Behind the curved wall is the open-plan kitchen, adjacent to a spacious pantry/storage room with ample space for a washing machine and dryer. The pantry can also be accessed directly from the hallway.
Upper Floors
The characteristic curved staircase consists of two sections with a landing between them, providing access to a spacious mezzanine with additional storage.
The first floor currently comprises two rooms and could potentially be reconfigured into three bedrooms, depending on the desired layout and possibilities of a future renovation. The bathroom is accessed via a short staircase and features a bathtub, washbasin and toilet.
Outdoor Space and Parking
At the front of the house is a terrace of approximately 2 x 10 metres, adjoining the private courtyard where the property's private parking space is located alongside the neighbouring residents' spaces.
The outdoor area could be further enhanced with greenery, climbing plants and planters, emphasising the property's charming, almost village-like character.
A Home Full of Character and Potential
This former coach house is ideal for someone who appreciates its unique architecture, generous proportions and exceptional location, while seeing the potential to modernise and adapt the property to their own taste and requirements.
The spacious rooms, high ceilings, abundant natural light and peaceful setting provide an excellent foundation for creating a distinctive home in central Amsterdam.
The property would benefit from modernisation in several areas and has a foundation-related issue requiring attention. This also offers an opportunity to consider further improvements or alterations as part of a future renovation, subject to applicable regulations and permits.
During a private viewing, we would be pleased to provide further information regarding the current condition, foundation situation and possibilities for renovation and reconfiguration.
A rare opportunity to create a spacious and highly individual home in one of Amsterdam's most central locations.
