For rent: Flat Prinseneiland in Amsterdam

Description

General

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

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

Recently, the national monument was 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 are (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 retained.

Location

The warehouse is located on one of the three Western Islands in the center of Amsterdam. These islands form a small charming world of their own. Today, due to its secluded location, it is one of the most sought-after, quietest, and most atmospheric neighborhoods of Amsterdam. Daily shopping can be done on foot at the lively Haarlemmerdijk, Haarlemmerstraat, and in the Jordaan located behind them, where you will also find countless cafés, restaurants, and shops.

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

It is a pleasant spot to live quietly but due to its central location also a wonderful starting point for a dynamic life.

Layout

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

Then you reach the expansive living room across the entire width of the building, featuring a large dining kitchen, a second room, and French doors with beautiful unobstructed views over the water.

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

Additionally, the bedrooms are equipped 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 structure and common areas are sustainably maintained, including cleaning of the stairwell, maintenance of installations, and window cleaning.
