Tweede Leeghwaterstraat -A 5

FOR SALE: ONE OF THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY RESIDENCES IN THE CZAAR PETERBURG AREA.
Some houses are special. Others are unique. This municipal monument on Tweede Leeghwaterstraat undoubtedly belongs to the latter category.
Behind the characteristic façade of this impressive 181 m² building lies a rich history dating back to 1884. Originally constructed as a horse tram stable for the Amsterdam Omnibus Company, designed by architect Dolf van Gendt – known for works such as the Concertgebouw and the Hollandsche Manege – this building was an important part of early Amsterdam public transport. The distinctive chalet roof and timber-framed façade still remind us of this special origin.
After the arrival of the electric tram, the building had various functions, including a workshop for wood and metal processing. Today, it is a magnificent residence with a fantastic studio or work space, where living, working and creating come together in a unique way.
What immediately catches the eye is the exceptional space. With more than 180 m² of living area, the property offers ample possibilities for families, artists, entrepreneurs at home or lovers of special architecture. The current condition requires modernization and cosmetic attention, but at the same time presents an excellent opportunity to shape this historical gem exactly to your taste. We have already had the house inspected structurally, so you know exactly what to expect.
The house is laid out with a generous living level, an impressive atelier space with video and high ceilings, and a cozy workroom on the first floor with an adjacent bedroom. A second bedroom is located in the attic.
An absolute plus point is the surprisingly large garden, a rare find at this central location in Amsterdam, measuring no less than 250 m². Here you enjoy peace, privacy and greenery, while the lively Czaar Peterbuurt, the city center and the Eastern Islands are all within easy reach. This is not a standard apartment, but a property with character, history and potential. A unique opportunity for lovers of monumental housing who dream of a home with a story.
