Living by the water – first-floor apartment with private entrance, approx. 63 m².
Guided tour
The front door opens onto a quiet quay in Zuid. An easy staircase leads through the porch to the first floor, where the entrance to the house opens into a bright hall. A long line of sight runs from the front door to the windows overlooking the water.
The living room is located at the front of the apartment. Three tall windows capture the light that reflects off the water of the Amstel River. The view is expansive, lively, and constantly changing. The space is designed as a natural extension of the façade: spacious, yet well-organized. The dining area and sitting area flow into each other, with neat oak parquet flooring throughout the entire apartment.
The open kitchen forms a corner of the space, featuring cream-colored fronts, a dark countertop, and built-in appliances. The robust stove and subtle finishes give the space a neat, timeless look.
The hallway connects the living area with the rear of the house. Here you will find a separate toilet, a spacious bathroom, and the bedroom. The bathroom is finished with white subway tiles and black accents, and equipped with a bathtub, separate shower, and vanity unit. The space feels understated and calming.
At the rear is a large bedroom with a view of the inner gardens. Adjacent to this is a walk-in closet.
The house lends itself easily to the creation of a second bedroom – see alternative floor plan.
Outdoor space
Although the apartment does not have its own balcony, the Amstelkade serves as an extension of the living space. On the other side is a permanent picnic table under a tree—a popular spot for coffee in the morning sun or drinks at the end of the day.
The location combines the best of both worlds: close to the dynamism of De Pijp and the Rivierenbuurt, with the tranquility of the water as a constant. Shops, public transport, and major roads are within easy reach, as are Amstel Station and the A10 ring road. The residential environment is mature, well-kept, and quiet — a context that perfectly matches the character of the home.

Water view
Sometimes a place needs no explanation. Light and tranquility come together naturally here, on the first floor overlooking the water. Amstelkade 93-1 is a spacious and practical home—not only because of its location on the Amstel, but also because of the way the rooms are balanced.
The waterfront home moves with the rhythm of the day. The water reflects the seasons, the trees change color with the light. Inside, there is space and simplicity; outside, the city provides the backdrop. A walk along the riverbank, drinks at the picnic table, an afternoon of boating — it's all part of the experience.
A home for those who appreciate the city but prefer to live on its outskirts. Welcome to the Amstelkade.

On the leafy Amstelkade, on the first floor of a characteristic block dating from 1924, a home with clean lines and understated grandeur unfolds. The façade Year of construction Immediately reveal the Year of construction , but if you look closely, you will recognize the rhythm and brickwork of the Amsterdam School. Vertical accents, curved bay windows on the corner, and deep recesses create a powerful yet refined appearance.
This architectural language is continued in the entrance hall. The private entrance, sheltered in a porch with dark brickwork, separates the public domain from the private. Once inside, a home unfolds with a natural division between living and sleeping areas, designed with an eye for light, sightlines, and tranquility.
At the front, three tall windows open onto the water. Here, the living areas capture the daylight that reflects off the surface of the Amstel. At the rear, the plan offers space for a spacious bedroom, a walk-in closet, and a spacious bathroom. Everything is thoughtfully positioned around the central hall, making each space feel autonomous while also being part of the whole.
The house also lends itself to a second bedroom. This not only remains faithful to the original design, but also demonstrates its flexibility within the existing framework.

The kitchen is located in a spacious corner, equipped with built-in appliances and a robust stove with stainless steel extractor hood. The light cabinet fronts and metro tiles give the space a calm, classic look that perfectly matches the architecture of the building.

Although the apartment does not have a private outdoor space, the water on the Amstelkade plays a major role in everyday life.
