Looking for a peaceful living space in the heart of Amsterdam?
Look no further. This surprisingly spacious and bright 3-room apartment of 86 m² (plus an additional 19 m² mezzanine) on the Looiersgracht is the apartment you are looking for! Situated on the ground floor of a small complex built in 1980, you'll find an ideal combination of space and character – with the icing on the cake being a generous, sunny south-facing garden bordering a beautiful, historic courtyard. The apartment features a spacious living room with an open-plan kitchen, two well-sized bedrooms – each with a practical mezzanine, perfect as a bedroom or office – and a private storage unit in the basement. Freehold, so no leasehold!
Description:
The communal entrance leads to the apartment's front door. All rooms are accessible from the hallway. At the rear of the building is the spacious living room with an open-plan kitchen. Thanks to the large windows and a maximum ceiling height of 3.83 meters, this space feels particularly bright and open. The living room opens directly onto the sunny south-facing garden. The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances, including an oven, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator with freezer compartment, and a 4-burner gas stove.
The private garden of approximately 69 m² faces south and borders a unique, historic courtyard. This courtyard dates back to the 17th century and was once part of a maze with fountains. Although these have since disappeared, the monumental chestnut tree remains the green heart of this peaceful, communal oasis in the heart of the Jordaan district.
At the front of the apartment are two bedrooms, each with a mezzanine floor with 1.58 meters of headroom. These additional spaces, totaling approximately 19 m², are ideal for use as sleep floors or offices. The bathroom is located in the center of the house, equipped with a bathtub/shower combination, two sinks, a washing machine connection, and the central heating system. There's also a separate toilet. Finally, there's a spacious storage room in the basement of the complex, also suitable for bicycles.

Location:
Looiersgracht is a charming and peaceful side canal of the Prinsengracht, located in the heart of the vibrant Jordaan district. While the neighbourhood is known for its lively atmosphere, Looiersgracht itself offers a quiet retreat, free from through traffic. Just around the corner, you'll find the famous Nine Streets and the bustling Elandsgracht — a former canal filled in back in 1891. The area is rich with cosy cafés, restaurants and unique boutiques. Local favourites include Koffiespot for your morning coffee, Pazzi for artisanal pizza, Ela Restobar, Balthazar’s Keuken, Bar Oldenhof, Thai restaurant Rakang, Bar Parry, and right across the street, the always welcoming Café Festina Lente. For groceries, you can visit the nearby Albert Heijn on Elandsgracht or one of the many specialty shops in the surrounding Jordaan streets and canals. Public transport options are plentiful, with several tram and bus lines nearby on Marnixstraat and around Leidseplein. From here, you have quick access to Central Station, the Zuidas business district, or even Schiphol Airport via express bus.
