A beautiful ground floor apartment in a former warehouse, located by the water with an optimal Prinseneiland feel. The apartment is very spacious with approximately 273 m² of living space and features a living room, kitchen-diner, three bedrooms, and three bathrooms. With a ceiling height of around 3.10 meters, the house feels extra spacious. Thanks to the many windows and French doors by the water, it’s a wonderful place to live by the water, right in the city center.
Tour
Entrance hall with guest toilet. Spacious kitchen-diner with a cooking island and French doors opening onto the water. The living room and kitchen are connected by two large passages, separated by a natural wall. The living room is particularly spacious at approximately 70 m² and has large steel doors offering views of the water and a beautiful clipper. The master bedroom features custom-made wardrobes and a bathroom with a bathtub, shower, and double sink.
The other two bedrooms also each have their own bathroom with a shower, sink, and toilet. The third bedroom could also serve well as an office or practice space, as it has a door to the street, creating a separate entrance.
The hallway providing access to these rooms is impressively spacious. If extra space or an additional bedroom is desired, the current area, mainly used for storage and laundry, can easily be converted into an extra room.
Additionally, a garage space is available for purchase.

Amsterdamsch Veem
Living on Prinseneiland is enchanting due to the surrounding waters and historical setting. The water enhances light and reflection, while all buildings here still evoke memories of their original purpose for the city. This holds true for this unique property, a former warehouse robustly positioned by the water. As a real estate agent, I have cycled by numerous times over the years and have always been intrigued by what it would be like to experience the bridge from the inside out.
During the first encounter, I was surprised by its unexpected height. Whereas warehouse spaces often have limited heights, all rooms here offer ample space. The robust character of the exterior is carried through inside, with wooden columns, beams, and clean masonry that emphasize the original structure and function.
The house immediately felt light and spacious. Not only due to its height but also because of large windows that allow plenty of natural light while ensuring privacy. We also acknowledge that the property has a well-thought-out, functional layout.

History
The archive of the building begins in 1910, when there was already a beautiful warehouse with living quarters. The then-owner, Amsterdamsch Veem N.V., aimed to expand and renovate the entire building into a larger warehouse. During this process, floors were enlarged, and the original residence was removed. The foundation was reinforced, and the load-bearing structures were strengthened. Historical building permits indicate that obtaining permissions, especially for adding toilets, could be a cumbersome process at that time.
In the 1980s, the transformation into residential properties commenced. Initially, there were live-work apartments, which later transitioned exclusively into residences, including this ground-floor apartment that occupies nearly the entire ground level. The original column structure was preserved, and the previous occupants eventually obtained permission to add an additional facade to the side of the building, with an entrance leading to the adjacent communal garden.
Internally, the entire apartment has been modernized and optimally laid out. The facilities and finishes are notably timeless and complement the historical character of the building perfectly.
