Description
NEW TO THE MARKET:
Charming and energy-efficient apartment in a characteristic monumental building – on freehold land!
Experience the best of both worlds: living in the very heart of Amsterdam while enjoying the peace and quiet of a charming side street. This beautiful apartment on Schippersstraat offers exactly that balance. The building, originally a listed monument, was completely rebuilt in 2013, combining timeless historic charm with modern comfort and quality. Even more unique – the property is situated on freehold land and received an energy label A+ in January 2025, an exceptional feature in the city centre!
Ideally located in the Scheepvaartshuisbuurt/Lastage neighbourhood, the apartment sits between the lively city centre and the tranquil Oosterdok area. Within walking distance, you’ll find cosy cafés, great restaurants, boutique shops, and of course, Amsterdam Central Station. Everything the city has to offer is right on your doorstep.
The active Homeowners’ Association (VvE) maintains the entire building, including gas, electricity, and window cleaning, for a monthly advance payment of €100. Thanks to collective purchasing, utility network costs are reduced. The apartment has its own sub-meters, with an annual settlement based on actual usage. The monthly contribution for general maintenance is €233.38.
LAYOUT:
The shared entrance is located on the ground floor, with the private entrance to the apartment on the first floor.
Upon entering, you are welcomed into a bright hallway that provides access to an indoor storage room, a separate toilet, the bedroom, and the living room with open-plan kitchen.
The living room, situated at the front of the building, features large windows that flood the space with natural light, creating a pleasant and airy atmosphere. The modern open kitchen is fully equipped with built-in appliances. French doors open to a small French balcony, perfect for letting in the summer breeze and enjoying the charm of the city below.
The bathroom is neatly designed and includes a shower, washbasin, and connections for a washing machine and dryer. The entire apartment is efficiently laid out and very well maintained.
AREA:
This apartment is located in the historic heart of Amsterdam, within the charming Scheepvaartshuisbuurt/Lastage district. The Nieuwmarkt, Oosterdokseiland, and Plantagebuurt areas are all within walking distance, offering a wide range of cafés, restaurants, and cultural landmarks such as the Stopera, the Amsterdam Public Library (OBA), and the Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ.
For families, there is a large, well-maintained neighbourhood playground (De Waag) just 300 metres away.
Accessibility is excellent: Central Station and Nieuwmarkt metro station are both within a 10-minute walk, while the A10 ring road can be reached quickly via the IJ Tunnel or Piet Hein Tunnel. Residents can apply for a parking permit, which also grants access to the Oosterdok underground car park (only 5 minutes on foot).
This is a rare opportunity to live comfortably, sustainably, and stylishly in one of Amsterdam’s most historic and central locations!
