About Oudezijds Achterburgwal 119D

General

The photos and film actually speak for themselves. With an eye for detail, Historical Homes renovated this beautiful apartment a number of years ago. The apartment is part of the former Bethany Convent, which dates back to 1460 and was completely rebuilt in its current state in 1624.

Layout

The apartment is located on the corner of Oudezijds Achterburgwal and Koestraat and can be reached via a private entrance on the raised ground floor. The living room has a beautiful wooden ceiling of 4 meters high and provides a very light and spacious feeling. The living room has 2 large windows with a view of the canal and 1 large window with a view of the quieter Koestraat. The living room has an open kitchen with a luxury cooking island containing all necessary kitchen appliances. Together with the stylishly furnished living room with electric fireplace, it gives a nice and cosy feeling where you completely forget the hustle and bustle of the city, even if you live in the middle of it.

Through the modern glass / steel door you reach the hallway with a large wardrobe, a spacious toilet and a separate closet containing the washing machine and dryer.

From the hall on the ground floor, take the stairs down to the ground floor, which has many windows and is surprisingly light. The 2 bedrooms, the bathroom and the storage room can be reached via a spacious hall. Because sliding doors are used, a spacious and light feeling is created. The master bedroom has a double bed and a very large wardrobe. The smaller bedroom has a sofa bed and can also be used as a guest room or office. Because all rooms have double glazing and the walls are insulated, you will be able to enjoy a peaceful night’s sleep.

Environment

The apartment is located near the Metro and the North / South line, Central Station, Nieuwmarkt and Dam. Amsterdam Noord, De Zuidas, the Albert Cuypmarkt and the RAI are easy to reach with the Noord / Zuidlijn.

Today, it remains a focal point of Amsterdam’s cultural scene, attracting visitors from around the world with its unique blend of old-world charm and modern sensibilities.
