A truly unique property of approximately 278 m², situated in the heart of Amsterdam’s famous Nine Streets. Berenstraat 7 once served as the first infant school in the Netherlands, was converted into a residence in the early 20th century and is a nationally listed monument.
The current owner purchased the property in 2011 and transformed it over nearly three years into a remarkable home, rich in original details and distinctive design elements. The intention was to create the feeling of entering a museum, while retaining the comfort and functionality of a private residence. The property also benefits from a beautifully landscaped south-facing garden and a roof terrace.
Location
The Nine Streets are located in the heart of Amsterdam’s historic canal district, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area is known for its monumental architecture, boutiques, restaurants and cafés. Elandsgracht, Westermarkt and the surrounding canals offer all daily amenities within walking distance.
Public transport connections are excellent, with tram and bus stops nearby. Amsterdam Central Station can be reached by bicycle in approximately 10 minutes, while Vondelpark is only a short cycle away.

The basement is inspired by the work of Dutch artist M.C. Escher and can be accessed both internally and through its own entrance.
