For rent: Flat Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal in Amsterdam

Description

A special home: Rijksmonument Osnabrugge, living in a piece of Amsterdam history

Behind the stately facades of Rijksmonument Osnabrugge lies a living environment rarely offered on the Amsterdam housing market. Not only is the apartment special, but the building itself can also rightfully be called unique. Rijksmonument Osnabrugge is a characteristic Amsterdam merchant's house with a rich history dating back to the 17th century. Over the centuries, many authentic elements have been preserved, allowing the building to still exude the grandeur and appearance of days gone by.

The building stretches from Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal to Spuistraat and thus has both an impressive front and rear facade. At the rear is a richly decorated facade pediment with a coat of arms, helmet (cloth), crowned with a helmet crest in the shape of a beehive with bees and roses. This facade pediment has been carefully restored and gilded and originally comes from Oudezijds Voorburgwal 50. The facade neck on the front facade with the oeils de boeuf from Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal has been historically relocated and originally comes from Prinsengracht 50.

Upon entering, you are immediately welcomed by the impressive monumental entrance, the beautiful staircase with marble floor and wood paneling, Louis XVI doors, a beautiful stained glass window, and the rich plaster and carving work present in various places in the building. These historical details give Osnabrugge an atmosphere and character that are hardly found in many buildings anymore.

Thanks to the recent sustainable renovation, a special balance has been created between monumental charm and contemporary living comfort. This allows you to enjoy the appearance of a historic canal house daily, combined with the quality, sustainability, and comfort of today.

The combination of Osnabrugge's rich history, the high-quality finish of the apartment, and the exceptional location in the historic center of Amsterdam makes this a home for lovers of character, quality, and atmosphere. A place where every return home feels special.

On the second floor is the spacious and well-divided living room with an open kitchen, two spacious bedrooms, and a bathroom. The living room offers a beautiful view over Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal. There is plenty of natural light due to the large window frames with classic mullions on both the front and rear facades. The beautiful original beam structure has been preserved and gives the room a warm atmosphere.

The two spacious bedrooms are practically laid out and offer ample possibilities for placing a double bed and storage space. One bedroom is located at the front of the apartment and the other at the rear, both with plenty of natural light. Additionally, both rooms are equipped with dimmable built-in LED spotlights, allowing you to create the desired ambiance.

The modern kitchen has a natural stone countertop and includes all desired built-in appliances such as an oven-microwave combination, fridge-freezer combination, dishwasher, induction cooktop, and stainless steel extractor hood, all from the brand Siemens. The stainless steel extractor hood has the latest filter system, so internal filters no longer need to be replaced.

The luxurious and spacious bathroom is equipped with a walk-in shower with hand and rain shower, a glass shower door, a toilet, a thermostatic mixer faucet, and a large sink with storage options, a mechanical ventilation system, and connections for a washing machine and dryer.

There is also a sustainable mechanical ventilation system present for optimal ventilation throughout the apartment. Additionally, both bedrooms and the living room are equipped with curtains and/or sheers, and the apartment has an intercom system with a speech-listening device at the entrance door and security locks.

A modern living experience where the apartment has been sustainably renovated (energy label A++, so lower energy costs) but is also sustainably maintained (maintenance of the staircase, mechanical ventilation and central heating system, and exterior window cleaning). In short, a great and stylish combination of modern and classical elements that is a feast for the eye.
