Westerstraat 268 | Description

A beautiful national monument in the centre of the Jordaan district is now for sale! The property was completely renovated and modernised in 2018 and 2020. The creative layout and attractive colour scheme contribute to the charming character of this lovely townhouse. High-quality materials were used in the renovation of the building. Moreover, it is located on freehold land.

Much attention was paid to the combination of modern luxury and comfort (including a kitchen upgrade and interior paintwork in 2021, and exterior paintwork in 2022, two bathrooms and a roof terrace), while at the same time conserving the original features and details of this characteristic townhouse.

The house is further characterised by a large, sunny façade with no less than 9 windows, ensuring that there is plenty of sunlight throughout the house. As the Westerstraat is exceptionally wide, this house is really one of the sunniest houses in the Jordaan district. In addition, the many windows offer a lovely view of the Westerstraat from each floor.

SURROUNDING AREA
This beautiful national monument is located in the quiet part of the Westerstraat, near to the Lijnbaansgracht. The Westerstraat forms the connection between the Noordermarkt and the Marnixstraat in the Amsterdam Jordaan district.
The Noordermarkt is well-known in Amsterdam for its ‘world famous’ farmers’ market on Saturdays and for its fabric and clothes market on Mondays. There is a large variety of trendy shops, restaurants, and cafés in the direct vicinity. The Prinsenstraat, the Herenstraat, and the Haarlemmerdijk are also within a stone’s throw.

Furthermore, the popular indoor swimming pool the Marnixbad is located right around the corner, and the sizeable Westerpark is located at the end of the Lijnbaansgracht. Many other amenities, including art and culture, can literally be found within walking distance. In short, the ideal place to live in Amsterdam.
