Marnix79
Living between two waterways: with the tranquility of the Lijnbaansgracht at the rear and the lively rhythm of the Singelgracht at the front. Marnixstraat 79 C is located in a special place, where city life and water constantly circle around each other. Within a few steps, you are in the Jordaan, among the markets, cafes, and galleries—and just as quickly, you can walk along the quays towards the center.
The house has a bright, contemporary layout with a spacious living room at the front, where light floods in through three large west-facing windows. At the rear are two bedrooms, one of which has a view over the water and access to a balcony with morning sun.
In 2005, the entire property was thoroughly renovated, including new foundations. As a result, this house combines the character of a historic building with the comfort of a modern renovation — solid, light, and well-maintained.
The current owner has lived here happily for twenty years. And that says something: anyone who decides to move just one street away after all that time unconsciously confirms what makes this place so attractive. A home where you stay — or at least very close by.
Marnixstraat 79 is a classic Amsterdam building with recognizable symmetry, a characteristic cornice, and tall, recessed windows—but behind those familiar contours lies a renewed essence. The façade tells the story of a nineteenth-century city floor: robust brickwork, decorative anchors, segmental arches above the windows, and classic pilaster details in the plinth. At the same time, the refined detailing and clean lines of the window frames betray the thorough renovation that was carried out in 2005. An intervention that not only Services and installations the shell and the Services and installations , but also brought a new foundation — a solid foundation for the future, carefully integrated into the existing streetscape.
At the rear, the balconies have a modest design, with an open metal balustrade that allows air and light to pass through without detracting from the unity of the façade. Large glass surfaces capture the light from the courtyard garden and enhance the feeling of openness. The contrast between old and new remains subtle: original architectural forms are discreetly complemented with contemporary accents.
Its location on the Lijnbaansgracht makes this building not only particularly beautiful, but also meaningful. Where rope makers once twisted their ropes on narrow strips of land – the 'lijnbanen' – calm water now flows between two worlds: the city and the silence. This place carries the history of craftsmanship and trade, and now gives it a new meaning in the form of contemporary living with a story.
A building that does not mask its history, but carries it — and at the same time looks to the future with confidence.
What Immediately in the living room is the beautiful light. Thanks to three tall windows with characteristic skylights, daylight floods in, giving the space an open and warm atmosphere. The wide-plank wooden floorboards give the whole room a natural and stylish look.
The living room and open kitchen form a single space. The sitting room is located at the front, overlooking the lively Marnixstraat. The open kitchen has a straight layout and is equipped with neutral fronts, a stainless steel wall hood, and built-in appliances, including a gas hob, combination microwave, and fridge-freezer.
The ceiling height of approximately 2.50 meters enhances the feeling of space, and the oak flooring continues throughout the entire floor, contributing to a peaceful atmosphere.
At the quiet rear of the house are two bedrooms, each with a view of the green courtyard and the charming Lijnbaansgracht canal. The master bedroom is spacious and opens onto a charming balcony through double doors. Here you can enjoy the morning sun, with views of the rippling water and surrounding greenery – an ideal place for a relaxed start to the day. The second bedroom is compact but efficiently laid out and is ideal as a guest room, children's room, or quiet home office. Thanks to the large windows, light also floods in here, giving the room a pleasant atmosphere. The bathroom is practical and neatly furnished. A combination of a comfortable bathtub and a separate walk-in shower offers flexibility for both a quick start to the day and a relaxing evening ritual. The sink with mirror cabinet and the calm tiling complete the look. The warm oak flooring runs seamlessly through all rooms and connects the different spaces into a stylish whole. Additional convenience is provided by the private storage room in the basement of approximately 5 m² – ideal for storing bicycles, seasonal items, or suitcases.

The living room is the beating heart of the house. The open connection between the kitchen and sitting area invites people to gather; this is where conversations were held, plans were made, and days were shared.
