Presenting a unique and beautiful three-bedroom, ground-level home in a pristine, quiet yet super-central neighbourhood. This is a really special and original place with a lot of soul. Set entirely on one level of a historic canal building, the apartment has been renovated with beautiful architecture and careful attention to detail. There's a lovely openness and flow to the space — you can be together and social at the front, or escape to the back of the house, which has its own separate living room and a small garden. A cosy bench out front lets you soak up the sounds of the quiet neighbourhood, and there's even a quaint little children's petting zoo just down the road. The apartment measures 195 m2 and offers: • 3 bedrooms • A walk-in closet • A bathroom with a clawfoot tub and a walk-in shower • A separate toilet • Two living spaces — one at the front and one at the back • A small garden The fully equipped, open-plan kitchen is the centrepiece of the home, flooded with daylight from the skylight. It includes: • Dishwasher • Smeg fridge • Gas stove and oven • Quooker (instant boiling-water tap) • Nespresso machine Bedrooms • Bedroom 1 (master): queen sized bed (160 × 200 cm) • Bedroom 2: bunk bed with two single beds (90 × 200 cm) • Bedroom 3: double bed (140cm x 200cm) NEIGHBOURHOOD The apartment sits on Prinseneiland, one of the three Western Islands (Westelijke Eilanden) — a cluster of little man-made islands built in the 1600s for the shipping trade and now one of the quietest, most characterful pockets of central Amsterdam. Think cobbled lanes, converted warehouses, houseboats, artists' studios and a few sloping wooden bridges linking the islands together. There's water on every side, low buildings and almost no through-traffic, yet you're still right in the historic centre. You get the best of both worlds: total quiet at home, and the Jordaan, the Haarlemmerbuurt and the whole city centre all within a short walk. You're only a 5-minute walk from the busy, historic UNESCO-listed Jordaan — but without the crowds. GETTING STUFF The Haarlemmerdijk and Haarlemmerstraat — about a 7-minute walk — are your everyday go-to, regularly rated among the nicest streets in the city and packed with independent shops and cafés. For coffee specifically, Toki and 2 Coffee & Such are local favourites, and Mister Nata does very good coffee with fresh Portuguese custard tarts. Wander into the Jordaan and you'll trip over a good café every fifty metres. Nice walks & points of interest • A slow loop around the three islands themselves — Prinseneiland, Bickerseiland and Realeneiland — is the classic: quiet lanes, old warehouses and moored boats. • The Zandhoek on Realeneiland is the postcard spot — a row of 17th-century captains' houses on the water, with a little waterside café (De Gouden Reael) to stop at. • The Brouwersgracht, at the edge of the neighbourhood, is often called Amsterdam's prettiest canal — walk it toward the Jordaan. • The IJ waterfront and the free ferries across to Amsterdam Noord (for the Eye Filmmuseum and NDSM) are just a few minutes away. PARKS & DOG WALKING Westerpark is the nearest proper green space — roughly a 10-minute walk or a 5-minute cycle. It's big, relaxed and dog-friendly, with off-leash areas, and it runs into the Westergas complex: old gasworks turned into cafés, a cinema, restaurants and regular festivals. For quick daily walks, the islands and canal quays right outside the door do the job beautifully. There's no swimming off the islands themselves (it's a working waterway), but there are options close by. The Marineterrein became the city's first official open-water swimming spot in 2025 — a former naval yard where you can jump in with a view of the maritime museum, about a 15-minute cycle away.
