Historic Living with Canal Views on the Nieuwe Prinsengracht

Wake up to tranquil canal views while Amsterdam’s vibrant city life lies just a short stroll away.
This characterful loft apartment of approximately 64 m², located on freehold land, is nestled on the top floor of a municipal monument dating back to 1891 on the picturesque Nieuwe Prinsengracht. Here, historic charm, high-end finishes and a rare sense of privacy come together in perfect balance.

The apartment has been carefully renovated with great attention to detail, placing quality and comfort at the forefront. The open kitchen immediately draws the eye and is fitted with premium Miele and Gaggenau appliances, including an oven, steam oven, fridge with freezer, dishwasher, gas stove and a Quooker boiling-water tap.
The centrally positioned kitchen island forms the natural heart of the home — ideal for long evenings cooking and entertaining with friends.
Thanks to three large windows, the living room is filled with natural light throughout the day. At the rear of the apartment, the south-facing window seat lounge creates a favourite spot in the home: a sunny corner where you can effortlessly spend hours with a good book, a coffee or a glass of wine while the city slowly winds down. The fireplace adds warmth and an inviting, intimate atmosphere.
The luxury bathroom features underfloor heating and heated mirrors, a generous bathtub and a spacious walk-in shower — a space designed for comfort and relaxation.
 
Layout
Via a private entrance, you reach the apartment on the fourth floor. The open connection between the living area and kitchen creates a spacious and welcoming living environment with room for a comfortable dining area.
The bedroom offers built-in wardrobes on both sides and provides direct access to the bathroom. In addition, there is a separate toilet near the stair landing, as well as a utility cupboard with the central heating system, washing machine and dryer.
 
Location
Living on the Nieuwe Prinsengracht means residing in a place where tranquility, history and vibrant city life subtly merge.
Situated between the Amstel River and the green avenues of Plantage, this is one of Amsterdam’s most charming and sought-after neighbourhoods. The area is known for its elegant architecture, wide streets and abundance of greenery, combined with a rich cultural scene.
This part of the city was developed in the 17th century as an expansion of Amsterdam, originally intended for residents seeking space beyond the busy canal belt. 

The neighbourhood is particularly popular with international residents thanks to its calm atmosphere, central location and proximity to Amsterdam’s cultural institutions.

Within walking distance you will find the lively Utrechtsestraat, known for its boutique shops and excellent restaurants, as well as several museums, theatres and cultural institutions. The banks of the Amstel River are also nearby, offering beautiful routes for relaxing walks along the water.

Public transport connections (tram and metro) and main roads are easily accessible, allowing quick travel to other parts of the city.
In short: a unique top-floor apartment in one of the most beautiful and peaceful locations in Amsterdam, where historic charm, luxury and dynamic city living meet.
