Modern loft of over 143 m², spread across two floors, featuring high ceilings and large windows, set within a distinctive historic building on Rapenburgerstraat. The property is within walking distance of Artis, the Hortus Botanicus and Waterlooplein.
The loft also benefits from a communal roof terrace, a lift, a private storage unit and a shared bicycle storage area.
Layout:
The loft is accessed via the monumental entrance and spacious stairwell or by lift. The generous living room is located at the front, immediately distinguished by the large windows. The exclusive stainless-steel Arclinea kitchen is fully equipped with high-quality built-in appliances, including a Quooker, and offers ample workspace and storage.
At the rear of the property is a second sitting area with two French doors opening onto the south-east facing balcony.
A striking metal staircase in the living room leads to the upper floor. Here are two rooms, one of which is currently used as an office. The rooms are connected by a spacious bathroom with a bathtub, walk-in shower, double washbasin and toilet.
Above the apartment is a large roof terrace divided into four sections, with each resident having their own private part. A pleasant place to enjoy the sun and views over the city.
The building at Rapenburgerstraat 103 has a rich history. It was built in 1862 as a Dutch-Israelite charity school and was remodelled in 1890 by architect G.B. Salm into a Dutch-Israelite religious school for girls, when the current façade was created.
In the decades that followed, the building served various purposes, including a lingerie factory, a factory for work clothing and the mail-order department of a clothing shop. It later housed the Amsterdam branch of the Red Cross. Between 2007 and 2008 the building was thoroughly restored and internally converted into six apartments.
