***Charming, detached, and characteristic property from the late 17th century (national monument), situated on freehold land in the historic center of Amsterdam, on the northern edge of the Jordaan district. Externally restored in 2019 for €161,000, with an approved plan in place for interior renovations.***
Thanks to its ideal location, you’re right in the vibrant heart of the city while also being able to quickly leave the bustle behind.
The property requires maintenance. A report from the Monumentenwacht (Monument Watch) is available, detailing the current state of the building.
Around 1978, a completely new foundation was installed. Other parts of the house were also thoroughly restored or rebuilt during that time. The building’s slight lean has become part of its character. It has two entrances and two house numbers (upper and lower residence).
The usable living area is 143 m², but the actual space feels much larger, partly due to the sloping roof. The gross floor area is 201 m², spread across five levels, excluding the underground wine cellar (a 10 m² concrete vault). A small patio is located at the rear. Many original features have been preserved; the ambiance can be described as warm, serene, and cozy. Originally, number 70 housed a shop, with two families living above at number 72. Today, it is a spacious, detached home in a fantastic location.
LAYOUT
Ground floor:
Double entrance, hallway (connected by internal door).
Lower residence entrance: hall, living room with large storage closet and marble floor with underfloor heating.
Beneath this is a concrete floor approx. 50 cm thick, supported by steel foundation piles of approx. 18 meters in length—installed during the 1978 renovation. The staircase and stairwell were also completely renewed at that time.
To the rear: utility room, toilet with sink, and patio (newly built in 1978). Here you’ll enjoy morning sun until about 1 p.m.
Access to the cellar is via a hatch. This cellar was built in 1978 as a wine cellar (concrete vault), but is currently not in use due to water issues.
First floor:
Landing, small shower room with washbasin, marble floor and walls, living room with original wooden flooring.
The semi-open kitchen at the rear was added around 1980 and has a natural stone floor and countertop.
Second floor:
Landing, toilet with sink (marble floors and walls), washing machine and dryer connections, bedroom with fireplace, small back room.
Third floor:
Landing, washbasin, closet with central heating boiler, two interconnecting bedrooms with built-in wardrobes.
The flat roof of the rear extension (approx. 2×2 meters) can be accessed via the window and converted into a roof terrace.
Fourth floor:
Spacious attic spanning the full footprint of the house (32 m², of which only 3.62 m² counts towards the official living area due to the sloping roof), with windows at the front and rear.
