LOCATION
Prinsengracht 449 B enjoys an exceptional location in the Jordaan, at the heart of Amsterdam’s celebrated canal district.
This is Amsterdam at its most captivating: historic canals, beautiful architecture, independent boutiques, renowned restaurants, intimate cafés, galleries and cultural destinations are all just moments from your front door.
The property borders the famous Nine Streets, one of the city’s most sought-after areas, known for its distinctive boutiques, speciality stores, restaurants and cafés set among some of Amsterdam’s most picturesque canals.
The Jordaan itself combines centuries of history with a vibrant and cosmopolitan atmosphere. Its narrow streets, monumental canal houses and hidden courtyards provide an unmistakable sense of place, while the very best of contemporary Amsterdam is within easy reach.
