Location & Accessibility
The Herenmarkt is an idyllically situated square on the Brouwersgracht, flanked on both sides by charming streets. The even-numbered side of the square is car-free and features a playground, creating a peaceful and child-friendly living environment right in the heart of Amsterdam’s historic center. The square is also home to the historic West-Indisch Huis, dating from 1617, which adds extra character to the neighborhood. All amenities are located in the immediate vicinity. For daily groceries, boutiques, and specialty shops, head to the popular Haarlemmerstraat and Haarlemmerdijk. The neighborhood also has much to offer in terms of dining, with a wide selection of cozy coffee bars, restaurants, and outdoor dining areas. For relaxation and recreation, Westerpark is just a short distance away.
Accessibility is excellent: Amsterdam Central Station—with its subways, trams, trains, ferries, and buses—is just a few minutes away, and the A10 ring road is also easily accessible via the Haarlemmerweg.

Entrance on the ground floor with a private front door. The staircase leads to the first floor.
First Floor
A staircase leads to the spacious and bright living/dining room. At the front, impressive windows offer a stunning view of the historic chestnut trees, the Herenmarkt playground, and the Brouwersgracht—which has been named Amsterdam’s most beautiful canal on multiple occasions. Thanks to the large windows, the room enjoys an exceptional amount of natural light. The cozy fireplace serves as a beautiful focal point of the living room. At the rear is the renovated open kitchen, equipped with various high-quality built-in appliances, including a 4-burner induction cooktop with integrated range hood, an oven, microwave, fridge-freezer, climate-controlled cabinet, and a Quooker. A practical built-in bench has been installed next to the dining table. The entire floor is finished with charming hardwood flooring. This floor also features a separate toilet with a sink and space for a closet.
Second Floor
The landing provides access to two spacious bedrooms. The generous master bedroom at the rear features an impressive open ceiling height of no less than 5.55 meters, creating a particularly spacious feel. The exposed original beams contribute to the room’s charming atmosphere. Additionally, the room is equipped with air conditioning and custom-built closets. The first bathroom is en suite, equipped with a walk-in shower, a double sink with vanity, and a designer radiator. The second bedroom is located at the front and also features air conditioning. Centrally located on the floor is the second bathroom with a walk-in shower and a double sink with vanity. Adjacent to it is a practical built-in closet with connections for a washer and dryer. There is also a separate Japanese-style toilet with a hand-washing basin accessible from the landing.
Third Floor
The top floor features the third, generously sized bedroom, which is also equipped with air conditioning. Thanks to the many windows, this floor is also pleasantly bright. From here, you have access to the sunny rooftop terrace—a peaceful spot in the heart of the lively city center, equipped with an awning. The central heating system is neatly concealed in an enclosed cabinet. Additionally, the home features a practical attic space in the roof ridge with extra storage.
Basement
The spacious basement, with a ceiling height of approximately 2.37 meters, has its own entrance from the street and thus forms a self-contained space with various uses. This level is ideal as a guest suite, work/study space, or playroom. Through the French doors, you have direct access to the Herenmarkt.
