Kromme Waal 19D

A rare opportunity to live on one of Amsterdam's most beautiful canals

Some homes are special. Only a handful are truly unique.

Occupying the top two floors of a characterful listed national monument, Kromme Waal 19D is an exclusive duplex apartment offering uninterrupted views over the Waalseilandsgracht, a generous private roof terrace, complete privacy with no neighbours upstairs/ overlooking the property, and an exceptional sense of tranquillity in the heart of Amsterdam. The combination of historic charm, contemporary comfort and an outstanding location makes this a home that rarely comes to the market.

The Apartment
The living room is the heart of the apartment. Large windows frame panoramic views across the canal, where the water, the historic façades and the ever-changing natural light become an integral part of the living experience.
The open-plan kitchen flows seamlessly into the living area and features a natural stone worktop, light-coloured cabinetry and a range of integrated appliances, including a dishwasher, fridge, freezer and a stainless-steel stand-alone cooker with integrated oven.

At the quiet rear of the property is a second room, ideal as a bedroom, home office or guest room. From here, you have direct access to the approximately 30 m² private roof terrace, an exceptional outdoor space where you can enjoy the sun for most of the day, right in the historic city centre.
The upper floor has been designed as a spacious principal bedroom beneath the original roof structure. Exposed timber beams create a warm and inviting atmosphere, while the views over the canal make every morning something special. The generous bathroom is fitted with a bath, a walk-in shower, a double washbasin and there is also a separate WC.
The apartment also benefits from a private storage room in the basement.

The Building
Kromme Waal 19 forms part of a beautiful listed national monument with a history dating back to the 17th century. The building underwent a comprehensive renovation in 1990, including the renewal of its foundations. Since then, it has been meticulously maintained, successfully combining historic authenticity with modern living standards.
A significant advantage is that the property is situated on freehold land, meaning there is no ground lease (erfpacht).
The small and well-managed Owners' Association (VvE) is financially sound and actively maintained. The building is also affiliated with Monumentenwacht, ensuring the professional preservation of its historic character. Monthly service charges are €310.

The Location
Kromme Waal is widely regarded as one of Amsterdam's most attractive and characterful canals. Unlike many parts of the city centre, it offers remarkable peace and quiet while remaining within walking distance of everything the city has to offer.
Within just a few minutes' walk are Nieuwmarkt, Dam Square, Amsterdam Central Station and the Oosterdok waterfront. An excellent selection of restaurants, cafés, specialist boutiques, galleries and cultural attractions are all close by. The property also enjoys excellent transport links, with easy access to Amsterdam Central Station, the IJ Tunnel, Prins Hendrikkade and the A10 Ring Road.
