Prinsengracht 189-E

A unique loft apartment of approximately 105 m², located in Amsterdam’s historic canal belt, featuring two bedrooms, one bathroom and an open-plan living kitchen, spread across the top two floors of a characteristic 17th-century warehouse on the Prinsengracht. The property is defined by an exceptionally bright living space with a conservatory, large windows and exposed solid oak beams, strongly emphasising its loft character. Despite its central location, the apartment offers a notable sense of peace and privacy. The combination of openness and original features creates a spacious and atmospheric home.

Situated on the top two floors of an approximately 400-year-old listed warehouse, the apartment offers a well-designed total floor area of 124 m². The clever use of sloping ceilings ensures the space is used to its full potential. The property was fully reconfigured under architectural guidance in 2016 and renovated in 2026. Authentic details, such as the solid oak beam structure, provide a rich historical character combined with modern living comfort.

Layout: Via the wide and gently inclined staircase, you reach the entrance on the third floor. The entrance opens into a hallway with a separate toilet and generous built-in storage. This floor accommodates two bedrooms and a luxurious bathroom fitted with a bathtub, walk-in shower, double vanity unit and a separate laundry/dressing area.

The upper floor comprises the spacious and light-filled living area. High ceilings with exposed beams and a warm wooden floor create an inviting atmosphere. The modern open-plan kitchen forms the central element between the living and dining areas and is equipped with a range of built-in appliances. Large windows and the adjoining conservatory allow for an abundance of natural light and enhance the open feel of the space. From here, a small outdoor terrace is accessible. During the summer months, the conservatory can be fully opened, effectively transforming the space into a charming roof terrace.

Although located in the heart of the historic city centre, the apartment itself is remarkably quiet, with views towards De Rode Hoed.

On the ground floor, the property benefits from a private storage room with windows to the rear façade, as well as connections for water, electricity and drainage.
