A Bright, Late 19th-Century Corner Apartment in Amsterdam

On the ground and lower ground floors of a characteristic late 19th-century building in central Amsterdam lies this bright and spacious corner apartment with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The 163-square-meter apartment is located at the corner of the building and features large windows that flood the living spaces with natural light. The apartment is decorated in a light color scheme, paired with subtle color accents and beach-style elements.

A stone staircase leads to the private entrance on the raised ground floor. A white steel glass door opens onto the open-plan living room and kitchen.

Large windows on two sides flood the room with natural light and offer views of a typical Amsterdam canal. The ceiling height of almost three meters contributes to the living room’s spacious, bright atmosphere.

Even though the living room is on the raised ground floor, the space is private thanks to its corner position and the lack of nearby neighbors.

The living room is divided into three areas. There is a cozy sitting area around a light-pink-painted fireplace on one side, a large dining table in the center, and a second cozy sitting area on the other side of the room.

The Piet Hein Eek ‘Waste Table’ made of reclaimed wood stands in the center of the space, connecting the two sitting areas, and is in close proximity to the kitchen.

Two Normann Copenhagen Bell pendant lamps hang above the dining table.

A wide opening with a large built-in cabinet leads to the apartment’s kitchen, where modern design pairs beautifully with a raw, exposed brick wall.

The modern kitchen is fully equipped with high-quality built-in appliances, including a combi steam oven, a luxurious integrated extractor system within the cooktop, and a Quooker Cube (5-in-1 tap).

French doors open onto the balcony, which features a black steel staircase leading to a sheltered city garden. The built-in shelves are perfect for displaying glassware and crockery.

The long hallway is painted in a warm ochre shade with zellige tiles on the back wall.

From the hall, you can access the living space, a guest toilet, a large built-in closet, and the staircase leading to the basement floor.

The basement floor features three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a laundry room. The master bedroom has its own en-suite.

The entire basement floor features a light-toned concrete-ciré cast floor. The master bathroom is designed in a beach-style with pebbled walls, rustic wood, and exposed beams. It features a freestanding bath and a large walk-in shower.

The rustic barn door hides built-in storage space.

The basement floor offers plenty of storage, with the long hallway fitted with built-in wardrobes and beautiful wooden louvred doors.

The second largest bedroom opens directly onto the small, private garden.

The second bathroom features a custom black steel shower enclosure with a rain shower, handcrafted Moroccan zellige tiles, a solid wooden vanity with a concrete washbasin, and a wall-hung toilet.

The apartment is listed for €1,495,000 at The Agency The Netherlands.
