A special home: Rijksmonument Osnabrugge, living in a piece of Amsterdam history
Behind the stately facades of Rijksmonument Osnabrugge lies a living environment rarely offered on the Amsterdam housing market. Not only is the apartment special, but the building itself can rightfully be called unique. Rijksmonument Osnabrugge is a characteristic Amsterdam merchant’s house with a rich history dating back to the 17th century. Over the centuries, many authentic elements have been preserved, so the building still breathes the grandeur and appearance of yesteryear.
The building stretches from the Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal to the Spuistraat, thus boasting both an impressive front and rear facade. At the rear is a richly decorated façade crest with a coat of arms, helmet (cloth), crowned with a helmet emblem in the shape of a beehive with bees and roses. This façade crest has been carefully restored and gilded and originally comes from Oudezijds Voorburgwal 50. The façade neck on the front façade with the oeils de boeuf of Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal has been historically relocated and originally comes from Prinsengracht 50.
Upon entering, you are immediately welcomed by the impressive monumental entrance, the beautiful staircase with marble floor and paneling, Louis XVI doors, a beautiful stained glass window, and the rich stucco and carving work present in various parts of the building. These historic details give Osnabrugge an atmosphere and character rarely found in many buildings today.
Thanks to the recent sustainable renovation, a special balance has been created between monumental charm and contemporary living comfort. This allows you to enjoy the appearance of a historic canal house daily, combined with the quality, sustainability, and comfort of modern times.
The combination of Osnabrugge’s rich history, the high-quality finish of the apartment, and the exceptional location in the historic center of Amsterdam makes this a home for lovers of character, quality, and atmosphere. A place where every return home feels special.

Via the entrance on the 3rd floor, you reach this beautiful apartment in the monumental attic floor.
Upon entering the apartment, the beautifully restored original beam structure immediately catches the eye. What a special space this is.

The kitchen is modern and equipped with a natural stone countertop and has all desired built-in appliances such as an oven-microwave combination, fridge-freezer, dishwasher, induction hob, and stainless steel extractor hood, all from the brand Siemens. The stainless steel extractor hood has the latest filter system, eliminating the need to replace internal filters.

The luxurious bathroom is equipped with a walk-in shower with hand shower, glass shower door, toilet, thermostatic mixer tap, and a large sink with storage options, a mechanical ventilation system, and connections for a washing machine.
From the living room, you reach the second (bed)room located in the attic via a fixed staircase, which can be used for various purposes.
There is plenty of natural light through the window frames with classic divided panes on both the front and rear facades. The beautiful original beam layer has been preserved and gives the room a warm atmosphere.
Both bedrooms are located at the quiet rear of the apartment and offer various usage possibilities.
The entire apartment is optimally laid out, and everything exudes comfort and luxury: stylish paneled doors with stainless steel door and window handles and decorative molding, energy-efficient built-in LED lighting, beautiful flooring with high skirting boards, fine switchgear as well as an HR central heating installation, a hybrid heat pump with modern flat convectors. Additionally, both bedrooms are equipped with curtains and/or sheers, and the apartment has an intercom system with a speaker-listening device at the entrance door and security locks.
A modern living pleasure where the apartment has been sustainably renovated (energy label A++++, thus lower energy costs) but is also sustainably maintained (maintenance of the staircase, mechanical ventilation and central heating installation, and exterior window cleaning). In short, a wonderful and stylish combination of modern and classic elements that is a feast for the eyes.
