Description
Does the prospect of living at the heart of Amsterdam in the majestic “De Drie Koningen” (“The Three Kings”) building appeal to you? Refurbished to a luxury standard, we offer a single-level, two-bedroom apartment of more than 163 m² (in accordance with NEN2580), with a large and sunny south-facing terrace, LIFT, and parking space within the building (second parking space optional).
This listed building, formally a banking office for stockbrokers, was built in 1924, in the classic Amsterdam School architectural style. The building is located in Driekoningenstraat, which enjoys one of the most beautiful views of historic Amsterdam. Fully preserving the monumental, tiled staircase, this large building was converted into 29 apartments in 1997, under the expert guidance of architects’ firm Dik Smeding.
The exclusive apartment complex has its own swimming pool, gym, and sauna. It also has an underground car park. The apartment is being sold with one parking space included; the sale of a second space may also be negotiable.
All in all, this is a unique opportunity to live at the heart of Amsterdam in a state-of-the-art renovated apartment complex, complete with all the amenities you could need.
