THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST UNIQUE RESIDENCES IN AMSTERDAM!With an enchanting, unobstructed view over the water and the lion enclosure of Artis, this stunning three-storey ground-floor residence of nearly 400 square meters is located in a quiet, low-traffic street. This spacious and fully renovated home offers an abundance of possibilities and includes three private parking spaces (with room for four cars) in the underground garage. Currently used as a generous family home, the basement can easily be transformed into a commercial space, with the basement officially registered under the address Entrepotdok 95. The ground floor and first floor each have their own cadastral number and separate entrances, ensuring flexibility.LAYOUTThe property can be accessed in four different ways. Via the beautifully landscaped communal courtyard, you reach the official entrance. The hallway with lift and staircase brings you to the garage, the ground floor, or the first floor. You can also access the home internally through the storage area from the garage. Alternatively, the entrance via Entrepotdok opens directly into the modern kitchen.BASEMENTThe basement is entered through one of the storage rooms that is connected to the lower level of the house. Through the storage, you enter a spacious utility room with ample storage space, leading into the kitchen. To the right is a generous toilet with a small vestibule and washbasin, followed by a separate toilet. Under the staircase to the left is a large cupboard offering additional storage.The timeless Boffi kitchen (2009) with island is finished in a light colour scheme and stainless steel countertop. The stylish cabinetry, with a soft wave-textured surface in a light tone, is a design feature that recurs throughout the house.

In summer, children can even swim right outside the front door!GROUND FLOORFrom the kitchen, an internal staircase leads to the ground floor. This level features a central open hall giving access to a stair cupboard, a technical room, and a spacious toilet. Here too, you’ll find the recurring custom storage wall with ample space.

The luxurious bathroom features a spacious rain shower and double washbasin. This bedroom borders the communal garden.FIRST FLOORThe first floor is accessible via two different staircases. Upon entering, you’ll find a hallway with plenty of storage, a separate toilet, and a laundry room. The current residents have set up a home gym on the spacious landing (previously a children’s play area). At the back (garden side), there are two bedrooms, a small office for administration, and a luxurious bathroom with walk-in shower and double vanity. Near these bedrooms is a gaming area, enclosed with folding glass doors. The front side also features two bedrooms and a loggia. The third bathroom includes a bathtub, walk-in shower, double sink, and an infrared sauna.RENOVATIONSThe building originally dates from 1840. It was redeveloped in 2002. In 2009, the current owner acquired the first floor (Geschutswerf 37), which underwent a major renovation. All three floors were completely stripped and rebuilt, including new electricals, kitchen, bathroom on the ground floor, and toilet on the first floor. The combination of beautiful wooden beams and modern finishes creates a truly unique atmosphere. The architect’s goal was to design a cohesive home, rather than three separate units, resulting in a stunning layout with beautiful sightlines and the signature custom cabinetry appearing on each floor. This home combines the charm of a historical building with modern comfort, including underfloor heating, floor cooling (heat pump), and home automation. In 2014, the first floor layout was modified, and the two bathrooms were renovated. The two front bedrooms were previously a fully insulated music studio, which can easily be restored for use as a soundproof office or studio.In 2023, both central heating systems were replaced, as well as the two dishwashers and the Quooker tap.MONUMENT STATUSThe property is located in an area designated as a Nationally Protected Cityscape and is officially a listed National Monument. The facade and beams are protected elements.GROUND LEASEThe home consists of three apartment rights: two residences with storage rooms (Geschutswerf 33 and 37, now known as Geschutswerf 33) and one commercial space in the basement (secondary address Entrepotdok 95). The owner holds four parking spaces which can be purchased separately (index 65 is a double space, index 67 and 68 are single spaces). One space, which houses the heat pump, is included in the asking price. The asking price for the additional single space is €80,000, and €140,000 for the double space. The ground lease for all properties has been paid off until 15-12-2050. The application for conversion to perpetual leasehold for the residences and parking spaces was submitted on 31-07-2023 under the favourable regret policy, so the favourable conditions apply. The municipality has not yet issued an offer.OWNERS’ ASSOCIATION (VVE)The VvE is professionally managed by Pro VVE Beheer. Meetings are held regularly, and a multi-year maintenance plan is in place. The monthly contribution for the property and all parking spaces is €1,183.12.
