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 rightly 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, boasting both an impressive front and rear facade. At the rear is a richly decorated facade gable with coat of arms, helmet (cloak), crowned with a helmet ornament in the shape of a beehive with bees and roses. This gable has been carefully restored and gilded and originally came from Oudezijds Voorburgwal 50. The facade neck on the front facade with the oeils de boeuf of Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal has been historically relocated and originally came from Prinsengracht 50.

Upon entering, you are immediately welcomed by the impressive monumental entrance, the beautiful staircase with marble floor and paneling, Louis XVI doors, a magnificent stained glass window, and the rich stucco and carving present in various parts of the building. These historical details give Osnabrugge an atmosphere and character rarely found in many buildings today.

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 Amsterdam's historic center makes this a home for lovers of character, quality, and atmosphere. A place where every return home feels special.

The modern kitchen has a natural stone countertop and includes all desired built-in appliances such as an oven-microwave combination, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, induction hob, and stainless steel extractor hood, all by Siemens.

A modern living pleasure where the apartment is sustainably renovated (energy label A++ means lower energy costs) but also sustainably maintained (staircase maintenance, MV- and CV-installations, and window cleaning on the exterior).
