Egelantiersgracht 62, 1015 RM Amsterdam

AN EXCEPTIONAL CANAL HOUSE IN THE JORDAAN – WHERE HISTORY AND CONTEMPORARY LUXURY MELTS

Located on a quiet, picturesque canal in the beloved Jordaan district, with unobstructed views of the majestic Westertoren tower and just steps from the Prinsengracht canal, is this architecturally renovated canal house of approximately 257 m². Once a printing house, it now houses an impressive residence spread over four spacious floors, crowned by a sublime roof terrace of over 55 m².

A rare combination of character, refinement, and contemporary comfort.

LOCATION:

Situated in the heart of Amsterdam's historic canal district, this property offers the best the Jordaan has to offer: intimacy, authenticity, and vibrancy in perfect balance.

Artisan specialty shops, quality restaurants, and delicatessens are within walking distance. On Saturdays, the organic market at Noordermarkt and the characteristic market on Lindengracht beckon. For relaxation and culture, the green Westerpark, the creative enclave of the Westergasfabriek, and the Marnixbad swimming pool are within easy reach.

THE PROPERTY:

This characterful canal house dating from 1897 was completely transformed in 2013 with exceptional care and vision. During this high-quality renovation, two additional floors and the current roof terrace were added, fully adapting the property to modern insulation standards and awarding it an energy label A (2026).

Authentic details and industrial accents blend effortlessly here. High ceilings with exposed steel beams, skylights that allow abundant daylight to enter, warm wooden floors, and an elegant see-through fireplace create an atmosphere of understated luxury. On the upper floors, wooden ceilings with leather finishes create a subtle, exclusive look.

The integrated home automation system offers optimal comfort and makes controlling lighting and heating intuitive and efficient.
