Binnen Dommersstraat 3

Unique, Light-Filled Three-Storey Home on Freehold Land with Separate Studio

In one of Amsterdam’s most sought-after neighbourhoods, tucked away on a quiet street between the Haarlemmerdijk and the Brouwersgracht, on the edge of the Jordaan, you will find this bright and distinctive home, situated on FREEHOLD LAND.

Arranged over three floors, the property offers approximately 158 m² of living space, a sunny rooftop terrace of approximately 21 m², and a self-contained studio with its own private entrance. A home with history, space and, above all, possibilities.

The apartment forms part of a former church dating from 1963, which was thoughtfully converted into residential homes in 1998, with a strong emphasis on space and natural light. The building’s remarkable origins can still be felt in its generous proportions and tall windows, giving the home a distinctive and characterful atmosphere.

Living and Working

The ground floor features a spacious studio or workspace, making it ideal for anyone looking to combine living and working under one roof.

Adjacent to this space is a self-contained studio, accessible both from the main residence and via its own private entrance from the street. In 2016, the studio was tastefully renovated using high-quality materials and transformed into a fully independent unit with a sitting area, compact open-plan kitchen, bathroom, bedroom for two, and additional sleeping accommodation for two more people.

This makes the property not only an attractive family home, but also one that can easily adapt to different stages of life and changing needs. The studio could serve as a private space for a university-age child, an au pair, parents or friends, or as an independent workspace or guest accommodation.

The current B&B designation also offers the possibility of using the studio as a source of income, subject of course to applicable regulations and permits.

Light, Space and Living

From the workspace, a staircase leads to the first floor, where you enter an exceptionally bright living area. The sunny sitting room flows seamlessly into a generous open-plan kitchen, with plenty of room for a large dining table.

Tall windows spanning the full width of the property flood the space with daylight and create an exceptional sense of openness. It is a room that invites you to relax, enjoy long dinners with friends or work at the kitchen table.

The second floor comprises three bedrooms and a comfortable bathroom with a bathtub, separate walk-in shower, toilet and washbasin. A practical niche provides space for the washing machine.

The large rear bedroom has a particularly peaceful atmosphere. Here, you can wake to the sound of birds in the tree outside — right in the heart of the city, yet surprisingly removed from the hustle and bustle.

The City at Your Feet

A fixed staircase leads to the wonderfully sunny rooftop terrace of approximately 21 m². Sheltered by the leafy canopy of the tree, this is a delightful place to enjoy your morning coffee, spend long summer evenings or watch the sunset with a glass of wine, surrounded by views across Amsterdam’s rooftops.

Binnen Dommersstraat

Binnen Dommersstraat is a quiet and welcoming residential street, while everything that makes Amsterdam so appealing is right on your doorstep.

Cross the bridge towards the Palmgracht and the Jordaan, with its many cafés and restaurants. Here, the canals, historic façades and Noordermarkt create an almost village-like atmosphere.

At the other end of Binnen Dommersstraat lies the Haarlemmerdijk, known for its characteristic shops, independent specialty stores and the ever-reliable HEMA.

The Movies, Amsterdam’s oldest cinema, is literally around the corner.

Westerpark is within walking distance: a green oasis in the city offering plenty of opportunities for sports, recreation and relaxation. The former Westergasfabriek is home to a lively programme of cultural events, while the area also features a comedy club and Theater de Krakeling.

Even the NDSM Wharf is surprisingly close, with the ferry from Pontsteiger providing an easy connection across the IJ.

It is also a particularly pleasant location for families. Playgrounds are within walking distance, and there is very little traffic on the street itself.

Accessibility and Parking

The property is easily accessible by both car and public transport. Tram and bus stops around Haarlemmerplein, Marnixstraat and Buiten Oranjestraat are all close by. Amsterdam Central Station is just a few minutes away by bicycle.

Parking is available in the nearby car park at Haarlemmerplein or through paid street parking in the surrounding area. There is usually ample parking available along the Brouwersgracht.

Residents can apply for a residential parking permit through the Municipality of Amsterdam.

A distinctive Amsterdam home for those looking for the space and flexibility to live, work and shape life in their own way.
