Raadhuisstraat 44E

Living in an iconic location in the heart of Amsterdam, with the charm of the past and the comfort of today—this unique penthouse at Raadhuisstraat 44 E offers it all.

This exceptional apartment is situated in a municipal monument in refined Art Nouveau style from 1897, designed by city architect Caron. Authentic elegance and distinctive architecture form the foundation for a modern, stylish living experience.
With a living area of approximately 100 m² and an impressive rooftop terrace of over 60 m², this penthouse is a rare find.

The loft exudes space and light thanks to its high ceilings and open layout. The cozy living room with fireplace flows seamlessly into the open kitchen, while the French balcony with tall windows adds a charming touch and creates a lively connection with the city.

The property features two bedrooms: a spacious master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a second room that, thanks to high French doors, can be flexibly used as a bedroom, office, or guest room. This smart layout enhances the open character of the apartment.

Unique Rooftop Terrace:

The original wide wooden staircase in the living area leads you to the beautiful rooftop terrace of over 60 m², making it an integral part of the living space and easily accessible.
It is the only rooftop terrace in the immediate vicinity, fully detached and without overlooking neighbors. It offers a 360-degree view of Amsterdam’s remarkable churches and towers, including the Royal Palace, Magna Plaza, Soho House and the Westerkerk tower. At the rear, you overlook the beautifully landscaped gardens of organizations such as Amnesty International, Hendrick de Keyser, and Karl Lagerfeld.

The terrace has been recently renovated, partly features a hardwood deck, and includes water and electricity connections. Built-in planters on both sides are equipped with an irrigation system.

A True Loft:

What truly sets this penthouse apart are its bold and characterful design features. The high ceilings with dark-stained beams, partially exposed walls with original red brick, and the impressive flooring of French steamed oak create a distinctive New York-style loft atmosphere. The oak planks, sourced from old train carriages, vary in three widths and run elegantly throughout the entire space—a unique and sustainable detail with a story.

Location:

The location is simply unmatched. Situated in a UNESCO World Heritage area, between the Keizersgracht and Herengracht canals, you are right in the heart of the historic canal district. Within walking distance are Dam Square, the Jordaan, and the beloved “9 Streets.” From the apartment, you enjoy views of the characteristic shopping gallery from 1895 and iconic Amsterdam landmarks such as the Royal Palace, Westerkerk tower, and Westermarkt.
A rare combination of history, style, space, and location—this penthouse is a dream for anyone seeking something truly special in Amsterdam.
