For rent: Flat Prinseneiland in Amsterdam

Description

General

Looking to live in a fully modern, renovated, historic, and characteristic 18th-century warehouse on the charming and peaceful Prinseneiland? Then this apartment is definitely for you!

The Prinseneiland 5 warehouse, called "De Jonge Walvisvanger" (The Young Whale Catcher), was built between 1716 and 1721 by Abraham Kromhuijsen. The building's shell (facade and side walls, joists, floors, staircase, and roof structure) largely dates back to this construction phase. The monumental warehouse has a rich history with many functions, from coffee and cocoa storage to framing and housing for a residential group.

This nationally listed building recently underwent a high-quality and sustainable restoration, creating twelve beautiful luxury apartments. An elevator was installed, energy-efficient systems were installed, all facades, ceilings, and floors were soundproofed, and HR++ insulating glass was used wherever possible. By preserving the original 18th-century stairs, floor joists, and warehouse doors, the characteristic appearance has been preserved.

Location

The warehouse is situated on one of the three Western Islands in the center of Amsterdam. These islands form a charming little world unto themselves. Today, its secluded location makes it one of the most desirable, peaceful, and charming neighborhoods in Amsterdam. You can do your daily shopping on foot along the lively Haarlemmerdijk and Haarlemmerstraat, and in the Jordaan neighborhood behind them, where you'll also find numerous cafes, restaurants, and shops.

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

It's a great place to live quietly, yet its central location makes it a wonderful base for a dynamic lifestyle.

Despite the authentic feel of the property, the kitchen/diner is characterized by its modern character. The stylish color combinations are a feast for the eyes.

The living room and bedrooms also have curtains.

Everything in the apartment exudes comfort and luxury. A fantastic combination of historic and modern living, the apartment has been sustainably renovated (energy label A+, which ensures lower energy costs). The shell and common areas are sustainably maintained, including cleaning the stairwell, maintaining the building services, and window cleaning.
