Description
This property at Jan Luijkenstraat 16 occupies a prime location in Amsterdam’s eminently desirable Museum Quarter, between the Hobbemastraat and Stadhouderskade, and directly opposite the world-famous Rijksmuseum. This charming freehold property of approximately 465 sq m is located in the cultural heart of the Netherlands, right around the corner from P.C. Hooftstraat, Museumplein, Spiegelkwartier, the Concertgebouw and Vondelpark. In short, a location to make the heart of even the most discerning property hunter beat faster. Add a secluded garden of approximately 50 sq m to the mix and this remarkable townhouse offers the rarest of opportunities: the chance to own a property with spectacular views of the Rijksmuseum gardens, just a short stroll away from some of Europe’s finest cultural icons.
Jan Luijkenstraat 16 is one of three adjacent chalet-style houses designed by Amsterdam architect Jacob Klinkhamer. The property has 6 floors and offers impressively high ceilings, beautiful fireplaces, a period room and a choice selection of original features. Through the years, the building has undergone considerable modernisation while respecting its rich history. However, there is still plenty of scope to work with your own interior design team to create your dream home.
