The property is located in a national monument in a particularly beautiful and historic part of the city, between the Halvemaansbrug and the Blauwbrug. Old, dilapidated houses are nothing new in Amsterdam, but the row of centuries-old buildings from Amstel 100 to 112 is particularly remarkable. The buildings are known as the 'dancing houses'. The reason for this name is particularly evident from the water. The dancing houses have been a popular attraction on canal tours for many years. Today, the houses are more crooked than ever, but the old foundations have been replaced and the facades renovated. The houses have withstood the test of time for centuries, and despite their precarious appearance, they will continue to do so for a long time to come. This elegant upper house extends over two floors and has been renovated with great care and attention to detail. Authentic elements have been preserved and form a harmonious whole with a comfortable, modern finish. A unique property with a view over the Amstel, in a location where the city shows its most classic and charming character.
