Living In A National Monument With A Private Roof Terrace And Unobstructed Views

VOETBOOGSTRAAT 1 B / SPUI 15 IN AMSTERDAM

Living in a national monument with a private roof terrace and unobstructed views over the Spui. This exceptional apartment is situated in the characteristic Jugendstil building Helios, constructed in 1898 as a photography salon and studio and awarded third prize at the World Exhibition in Paris in 1900. A historic setting where authentic character and contemporary living comfort come together seamlessly.

The presence of an elevator, the generous roof terrace of approximately 27 m², the impressive ceiling heights, and the high-quality finishes make this a residence that rarely becomes available. Here you live in the heart of the historic city centre, just around the corner from the Kalverstraat and the 9 Streets, surrounded by culture, restaurants, and boutiques. Within walking distance of the Stopera, Rijksmuseum, and Concertgebouw. At the same time, the apartment’s position within the building ensures peace and privacy.

A rare balance between vibrant city living and secluded comfort.

Layout

Via the entrance on Voetboogstraat, you reach the apartment on the first floor by stairs or elevator. Entry into the hallway with a spacious wardrobe area. The living room at the front is remarkably bright thanks to the high ceilings and large windows. The tall windows offer expansive and characterful views over the Spui and the tower of the Begijnhof, bringing the historic cityscape impressively indoors.

The open kitchen connects harmoniously to the living area and is equipped with various built-in appliances, ideal for comfortable everyday living as well as entertaining guests.

Centrally located within the apartment is the spacious bathroom, finished in white drama marble, featuring a walk-in shower, bathtub, toilet, and double washbasin. A stylish space with a luxurious ambiance.

At the quiet rear side lies the master bedroom, fitted with a generous built-in wardrobe and direct views of the private roof terrace. In addition, there is an attractive split-level space, currently arranged as an office and library, which would also serve perfectly as a second bedroom or guest room.

The roof terrace of approximately 27 m² (measured in accordance with NEN2580) is truly exceptional for this location. A sheltered outdoor space in the heart of the city, offering privacy and open views.
