Living in style on the top floor of a characteristic 1881 building, with beautiful views over the Nassaukade and the Singelgracht canal. This home was created in 2022 from former storage spaces and rebuilt into a high-quality apartment — everything inside is brand new, while the building retains its historic façade.

Everything is new, everything is well thought out, and everything is designed for modern city living in the heart of Amsterdam.

NEIGHBOURHOOD
The Nassaukade runs along the Singelgracht, the historic ring around the city centre, forming the transition between the Staatsliedenbuurt, the Jordaan and the centre. A lively, spacious quay lined with stately 19th-century buildings, wide water and continuous greenery — a much-loved spot among young professionals, expats and city dwellers who want the very best of Amsterdam within reach.
Across the canal lies the Jordaan, with its terraces, hidden courtyards and specialty shops. Behind you sits the Staatsliedenbuurt: quiet, easy-going, with a strong character of its own. A neighbourhood where city living meets a village-like undercurrent. The Westerpark is just around the corner on foot — perfect for a cultural outing.

HISTORY
The Nassaukade was named in 1879 after the House of Orange-Nassau, the Dutch royal family. Before that, it was known as the Buitensingel — the outer edge of old Amsterdam. The building at number 15 dates from 1881 and fits seamlessly among the stately eclectic façades that rose along the quay in the same period; the neighbouring numbers 17 and 18, designed by architect-builder Johannes Engelfriet, are both listed as municipal monuments. The quay carries a rich history as a connecting route and home address for notable Amsterdammers, and today ranks among the most sought-after places to live on the edge of the city centre.
