For rent: Flat Prinseneiland in Amsterdam

Description

General

Living in a fully modernly renovated, historic, and characteristic warehouse from the 18th century on the charming and quiet Prinseneiland? Then this apartment is definitely something for you!

The warehouse Prinseneiland 5, called ‘The Young Whaler’, was built between 1716 and 1721 by Abraham Kromhuijsen. The shell (facades and side walls, beams, floors, staircase, and roof structure) largely dates back to this construction phase. The monumental warehouse has a rich history with many functions, from storage of coffee and cocoa to frame making and housing for a living group.

Recently, the national monument has been restored to a high standard and sustainably renovated into twelve beautiful luxury apartments. An elevator has been installed, energy-efficient systems have been applied, all facades, ceilings, and floors have been (soundproof) insulated, and where possible, HR++ insulated glass has been used. By preserving the original 18th-century stairs, floor beams, and warehouse doors, the characteristic appearance has been maintained.

Location

The warehouse is located on one of the three Western Islands in the center of Amsterdam. These islands form a small, atmospheric world of their own. Nowadays, due to its secluded location, it is one of the most sought-after, quietest, and most charming neighborhoods in Amsterdam. You can do your daily shopping on foot at the lively Haarlemmerdijk, Haarlemmerstraat, and in the Jordaan located behind them, where numerous cafés, restaurants, and shops are also found.

Prinseneiland is 10 minutes from Central Station, and the nearest bus stop at Haarlemmerplein is only a 400-meter walk.

It is a nice spot to live quietly but, due to its central location, also a wonderful base for a dynamic life.

Layout

Via a high-quality furnished and painted stairwell with a modern elevator, you reach the entrance of the apartment on the 2nd floor.

In the entrance hall, you will find the bathroom and the bedroom. The bedroom is spacious and equipped with a large built-in closet.

The bathroom is also spacious and equipped with a walk-in shower, a wall-hung toilet, a large sink with storage possibilities, good ventilation, and connections for a washing machine and dryer.

Next, you reach the spacious living room spanning the full width of the building, featuring a large eat-in kitchen, big windows with a beautiful view of the atmospheric inner gardens, and a second room.

Despite the authentic feeling the building gives you, the kitchen is characterized by its modern character. The stylish color combinations are a pleasure to the eye. The modern kitchen has a natural stone countertop and is equipped with all desired built-in appliances, such as a combi oven-microwave, fridge-freezer combination, dishwasher, induction cooktop, and extractor hood. All from the brand Siemens.

The home is further fully equipped with beautiful paneled doors with stainless steel door and window handles, high-quality flooring with tall baseboards, energy-efficient LED recessed lighting, and attractive switch material, as well as an HR central heating system, security locks, and an intercom with a speaker-listening device at the entrance door on the ground floor and in the house. Additionally, the bedrooms are furnished with curtains.

Everything in the home exudes comfort and luxury. A great combination of monumental and modern living pleasure with the apartment sustainably rebuilt (energy label A+, which ensures lower energy costs). The shell and the common areas are sustainably maintained, including cleaning maintenance of the stairwell, maintenance of installations, and window cleaning.
