Charming and well-maintained property of approx. 181 m2 on freehold land, including a patio garden and a large roof terrace, located right in the heart of the Jordaan area.
This exceptional house (1913) comprises four floors. The perfect layout offers a comfortable and charming kitchen-diner with access to the patio garden on the ground floor, two living areas on the first floor, and multiple bedrooms and two bathrooms on the second and third floors. And lastly, a magnificent roof terrace boasting amazing views of the surrounding area and the striking Westertoren.
The municipal land registry shows that this house is divided into two addresses (172 A and B), but the current owners use it as one single residence. The new owners may apply for a permit to combine the two apartment rights into one residence (based on the owner-occupancy condition). Another option would be to create two self-contained apartments, as intended by the owner, which can easily be done with some minor adjustments. The real estate agent can provide more information about this during a viewing.
LAYOUT
Ground floor:
The front door opens to a vestibule leading to the comfortable kitchen-diner and a staircase to the first floor. Behind the cloak area is a good-sized guest toilet. The nicely appointed kitchen features a 5-burner gas stove, a large oven, an extractor hood, a dishwasher, and a free-standing fridge/freezer. The kitchen also offers plenty of storage space. Double doors in the kitchen lead to the patio garden of approx. 15 m2, which catches the late-afternoon sun. The kitchen-diner is the wonderful heart of the home, where the family comes together, from family breakfasts to catching up over dinner with family and friends.
First floor:
The first floor can be reached from either the kitchen or the original (main) staircase. Here, the dual-aspect living area catches the light beautifully, creating a lovely atmosphere. The seating area is at the quiet back of the house while the second (living) room at the front is now used as a music room/library. The typical “en-suite” sliding doors between the rooms can be opened or closed to separate them or make one large space. Also on this floor are a pantry and a built-in closet.
Second floor:
The second-floor landing offers access to the bedrooms and the bathroom, which features a bath, a shower, a washbasin, a lavatory, and a design radiator. The master bedroom is at the back and has direct access to the bathroom. The second bedroom is at the front.
Third floor:
The third-floor landing leads to the third bedroom at the back of the house and the second bathroom with a walk-in shower, a washbasin, a lavatory, and a design radiator. This floor also includes two practical closets, one with the central heating unit. The front part of this floor is an open space with a kitchenette and the white goods connections and double doors to the balcony (morning and afternoon sun), where you can enjoy the beautiful views of the surrounding houses. It will be easy to put up a wall here to create a fourth bedroom.
Roof terrace:
And last but not least, there is the amazing roof terrace boasting magnificent views of the surrounding city and various striking buildings. The roof terrace is a wonderful spot to enjoy the sun and the views from early morning to late at night and includes running water and electricity.
The available floor plans offer a good overview of the layout of the property.
LOCATION
The Egelantiersstraat is a very pleasant and sociable street in the heart of the Jordaan and still has that village vibe where residents know and greet each other. You will find everything you need within walking distance, such as the many shops along the Westerstraat, Rozenstraat, Haarlemmerstraat and Haarlemmerdijk. The many side streets are home to a vast range of bars, cafés and restaurants serving cuisines from all over the world, from Toscanini to De Klepel, Parlotte, and La Perla. The Lindenmarkt and Noordermarkt, both on Saturdays, offer a large variety of stalls and delicious goods. The house is also not far from the Westerpark, the Stenen Hoofd, and the Vondelpark – all great places to relax and enjoy outdoor activities and cultural events.
Public transport connections are excellent with several buses, trams, and Amsterdam Central Station nearby. Access by car from the A10 Ring is easy as well via the S103 and S105 arterial roads. Residents can apply for a parking permit and, from mid-2024, they can park in the Singelgracht parking garage.
