Description
Geschutswerf 19, 1018 AW Amsterdam
This stunning ground-floor apartment, covering more than 233 square meters across two floors, offers breathtaking views of the water and the lion enclosure at Artis Zoo. Situated on a quiet, low-traffic street, this spacious and fully renovated home is a versatile gem. The property features a private parking space and storage in the underground garage.

Location & Accessibility
Geschutswerf is located on the quay opposite Artis Zoo, where you can enjoy a unique view of the African Savanna, with grazing springboks and elephants visible in the distance from the apartment. The sounds of monkeys and sea lions add to this extraordinary experience in the heart of the city! Daily amenities are within walking distance, and the surrounding area boasts cozy restaurants, cafés, parks, museums, the Hortus Botanicus, and of course, Artis.
Living in the Plantage neighborhood offers an ideal balance between the vibrant city life of Amsterdam, just 10 minutes away, and the tranquility and beauty of the green surroundings.
Layout
The property can be accessed in two ways. Through the beautifully landscaped communal garden, you reach the official entrance, where the hallway with an elevator and staircase leads you to the underground garage with a private parking space and additional storage. An alternative entrance via Entrepotdok leads directly into the spacious bedroom.
Bel-Etage (Raised Ground Floor)
From the main entrance on the bel-etage, you enter the central hallway of the apartment. This gives access to the beautifully finished separate toilet with a marble sink and mosaic wall, an additional storage room with connections for a washing machine and dryer, the spacious kitchen, and the characteristic living area with multiple seating areas. The kitchen, located at the rear of the property, features a large kitchen island with a 5-burner gas stove with extractor and a Quooker. The kitchen is also equipped with high-end Siemens appliances, including a dishwasher, double oven (one of which is a combi-oven), and a fridge-freezer combination. The kitchen is perfect for dining with guests, and a sitting area can also be easily created here. Additionally, the glass ceiling-high sliding doors provide access to the cozy green courtyard garden.
At the front of the apartment, you will find the comfortable living room with multiple seating areas, a custom-made TV cabinet, and a French balcony offering unobstructed views of the water and the lion enclosure at Artis. Centrally located in the living room, you will find the true eye-catcher of the apartment, an impressive mezzanine that provides access to the basement.
Basement
Thanks to the mezzanine and walkable glass floor, the basement receives an abundance of natural light. The two well-sized and unique bedrooms are located on this floor. At the front of the apartment, you will find the master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom featuring a walk-in shower and double sink. What makes this bathroom special is the five-meter-high ceiling with elegant spotlights and luxurious custom-made features of exceptional materials. A spacious walk-in closet complements this bedroom, which can also be accessed from outside via a staircase. At the rear of the property, you will find the second bedroom with an en-suite office that can be closed off with sliding mirror doors. This bedroom also features large built-in closets that are separate from the sleeping area, creating a true walk-in closet effect. The entire bedroom can be closed off with impressive wooden sliding doors. As a result, the basement also offers extra space for a seating area, naturally lit from the mezzanine. Finally, there is an additional bathroom with a toilet, sink with vanity, and a walk-in shower.
Monumental Building: ‘De Kalenderpanden’
The property is part of a complex designated as a Nationally Protected Cityscape and is itself a National Monument, with monumental facades and beams.
The Kalenderpanden, built in 1840, consist of twelve warehouses, each named after a month of the year. In 2001, these warehouses were converted into a luxury apartment complex by Claus and Kaan Architects. The original structure of the monumental building has been preserved as much as possible, with large glass sliding doors at the rear of the property overlooking the beautifully landscaped courtyard garden. This courtyard garden, approximately 10 by 70 meters, lies between the original rear wall and the new glass rear facades of the apartments, creating a stunning contrast between old and new, historic and modern.
