While many places around the world are well-known for their townhouses, perhaps nowhere as much as Amsterdam. Its narrow, tall, and antique canalfront structures define the look and feel of the city, and are no doubt a reason people fall in love with the setting and want to move there.
Currently, a renovated triplex residence blending industrial-chic moodiness and cozy elegance is for sale at one such Amsterdam address. Set right on a canal, it sits within a circa-1841 townhouse with smaller apartments above it and is listed for roughly $5.2 million (€4.45 million). The entire townhouse is also for sale in its entirety for those with an ever larger budget.
Starting off strong, buyers will be delighted to know that the townhouse has an elevator. It’s not uncommon for Amsterdam homes to have a mountain of stairs, so this in itself is quite a luxury. Additionally, many special materials were used in the renovation to restore and enhance, rather than wash away, its character. Design elements from Nairobi, London, Los Angeles, and Paris await inside the triplex, as does a Turkish steam bath in the primary suite and flooring from a French château.
Indeed, design lovers will have much to pour over as they tour the space. As well as providing high ceilings, sprawling living areas, a custom kitchen with oversized lantern pendants, and two bedrooms, the triplex promises delightful outdoor spaces for use when the sun peeks out. A new owner can entertain on the inner courtyard, terrace, and balcony. Or, merely take in the unobstructed canal views from the cozy interiors.
Amsterdam Sotheby’s International Realty holds the listing located in the coveted Canal Circle. To get inspired by more Amsterdam homes, check out an artist’s haven and a supermodel’s apartment.
