Description

Very charming and high-quality renovated national monument from 1715 in one of the most beautiful locations within the canal belt.

The street connects the Singel with the Herengracht, runs parallel to the Raadhuisstraat and is located between the Leliegracht and the Blauwburgwal, around the corner from the Multatuli Bridge.

The property is on its own land and measures 180 m2 of living space. It offers, among other things, an attractive kitchen, beautiful fireplaces (with authentic Delft blue tiles on the mantelpieces), a monumental staircase, luxury bathroom with electric fireplace (!), three bedrooms, extra bathroom, a storage attic, a lovely roof terrace, a very spacious basement, now in use as a gym, wine cellar and technical room, but also very suitable for other purposes (study, guest house or studio), various other rooms and truly beautiful details.

The property is located in the heart of Amsterdam's historic city centre, surrounded by atmospheric restaurants and cafés such as Toscanini, Parlotte, Domenica, Roux, Cecconi's and The Duchess. The bustling Noordermarkt, the cosy 9 Straatjes, the Haarlemmerstraat and the characteristic Jordaan are a short distance away. The Central Station and the North-South line are within walking distance, which ensures excellent accessibility.

The street itself is car-free, which creates an oasis of peace. As soon as you walk out of the street, you can enjoy the beautiful Amsterdam canals, both in the morning and evening sun. In addition, there is space to moor a boat just 50 metres away, on the Singel or the Herengracht.

The Bergstraat has a glorious past as a former crafts street, between the rich main canals where many sewing workshops were located in the 19th century. In the 20th century, the sewing workshops, very appropriately, made way for red lights and the street developed into an ‘intimate street of pleasure’, like a bohemian island among the opulence of the canal belt.

In the meantime, the street has been restored to all its glory, the ladies of easy virtue have left, the often special monuments have been restored and the street is closed to car traffic. The street is now a green oasis that is lovingly maintained by the residents. The intimacy has remained and the glory has returned.

Layout:

Bel-etage:
Private entrance with hard stone pavement and landing on the bel etage. A sleek black steel facade has been placed at the front, which gives character to the kitchen and is also pleasant in the winter months. Fantastic kitchen with beamed ceiling and floor with the original black and white marble tiles from the previous century. The kitchen is equipped with all luxury appliances (including Boretti 6-burner gas stove with double oven) and beautiful black natural stone countertop. Next to the dining table a beautiful original fireplace (with authentic Delft blue tiles) and a view of an inner garden at the back. Impressive monumental staircase, which continues to the third floor. At the rear of the bel etage is the staircase to the basement.
Basement:
On the street side a gym with good daylight and ventilation. Separate toilet, storage space (currently used as a wine cabinet) and technical room with additional storage space. The gym can easily be adapted to a comfortable office, guest room or studio, where a private shower can also be created.
First floor:
A lovely living floor, with parquet flooring, beamed ceiling, and second fireplace (also with authentic Delft blue tiles). There is a beautiful bar (with wine climate cabinet) and toilet at the rear (again equipped with authentic Delft blue tiles) from which there is access to an intimate terrace. This floor is a lovely place for both the warm summer and the long winter evenings.
Second floor:
Beautiful open bedroom with parquet flooring. En suite a luxurious spacious bathroom with bath, separate toilet, walk-in shower and double sink. The bathroom has underfloor heating and an (electric) fireplace.
Third floor:
Two bedrooms, one of which has a second bathroom en suite, with bath, toilet and sink. The entire floor has parquet flooring.
Fourth floor:
This is the roof of the building and gives access to the second terrace. This roof terrace always has sun and offers a beautiful view of the Amsterdam facades, the inner gardens and the Westerkerk (the roof could be used as a bedroom, but is now used for storage).

Location:
The property is located in the middle of the historic city centre of Amsterdam. The location is known for its cosy restaurants and cafés. Close to the Noordermarkt, the Haarlemmermeerstraat, the 9-straatjes and the Jordaan. The Central Station and the new North-South line are within walking distance. Because the street is car-free, it is wonderfully quiet and when you walk out of the street you can enjoy the canals, both the morning and the evening sun. You can moor a boat on the Singel or the Herengracht less than 50 metres from home.

Explanation of the measurement report:
The measurement report has been drawn up in accordance with the guidelines NEN 2580:2007 regarding surface areas and volumes of buildings, terms, definitions and determination methods, including the correction sheet C1:2008. The basement has a height of less than 2 meters (1.95 to 1.97 m height). In this case, the standard has been deviated from, given the fact that the house would otherwise be designated as other indoor space for a large part. The rooms have the same finish as the rest of the house, sufficient daylight and are used as living space.

  • National monument from 1715
  • Private land
  • Car-free street (accessible by residents for loading / unloading, by means of posts with key)
