Waterlooplein 177 D, 1011 PG Amsterdam
Penthouse feel with private lift access, a modern city apartment on freehold land
In the heart of Amsterdam, just around the corner from the Amstel River and Artis, you will find this bright 2-bedroom apartment of approximately 89 sqm. A truly unique feature of this property is its private lift entrance: the lift opens directly into your own hallway, offering a penthouse-like experience.
The apartment is situated on freehold land (no ground lease) and forms part of the modern boutique complex ‘Wellington’ (built in 2005). Located on the fourth floor, this high-quality apartment features an exceptionally spacious and light-filled living area with large windows and a full-width balcony at the rear.
Thanks to the direct lift access, expansive windows, and unobstructed views over the Waterlooplein market, this home offers a rare combination of tranquillity, light, and vibrant city living.
Layout
The well-maintained communal entrance with lift provides access to the fourth floor. The lift opens directly into the apartment’s private hallway, creating an exclusive and private entrance. From here, all rooms are accessible, and there is a separate toilet. The apartment also includes a practical internal storage room with connections for a washing machine and dryer.
Living room and kitchen
The spacious living and dining area extends across the full width of the apartment at the front and features a pleasant open layout. Large windows allow for abundant natural light and offer open views. The apartment is also equipped with electric sunshades.
A wooden herringbone floor and high-quality finishes create a stylish and warm atmosphere.
The luxurious open-plan kitchen integrates seamlessly with the living area and is finished in a modern dark colour scheme. It is equipped with various built-in appliances, including a generous hob, oven, dishwasher, fridge/freezer combination, and a wine climate cabinet. The large dining table forms a natural connection between the kitchen and living space, making this an ideal setting for both everyday living and entertaining guests.
Bedrooms
At the quiet rear of the apartment are two well-proportioned bedrooms. The master bedroom features a custom-built wardrobe wall and air conditioning. The second room is currently used as a dressing/office space with built-in cabinetry and open shelving, but can easily function as a guest or children’s bedroom.
Both bedrooms have double French doors opening onto the wide balcony spanning the full width of the apartment.
Bathroom
The bathroom is finished in warm, neutral tones and features a spacious walk-in shower with built-in bench, a wide vanity unit with double sink, and a towel radiator.
Location and surroundings
Living at Waterlooplein means residing in one of the most characteristic areas of Amsterdam’s historic city centre. Situated between the historic islands of Uilenburg, Valkenburg, and Rapenburg, this location beautifully combines history, culture, and vibrant city life. On one side flows the wide Amstel River, while on the other lies the historic inner city with its canals, squares, and monumental buildings.
In the immediate vicinity, you will find numerous cultural hotspots, including the Royal Theatre Carré, Hermitage Amsterdam, and Artis. The Nieuwmarkt, Rembrandtplein, and the Plantage neighbourhood are all within walking distance, as are daily amenities such as supermarkets (Albert Heijn, Jumbo, Etos).
Within a 5-minute walk, you are surrounded by charming cafés, the design and concept stores of Utrechtsestraat, and some of Amsterdam’s finest restaurants, including Restaurant 212, Flore, Spectrum, De Juwelier, Zoldering, and Bougainville.
Finally, the iconic Waterlooplein Market is quite literally at your doorstep—Amsterdam’s oldest and perhaps most charming flea market, offering vintage items, books, art, and curiosities.
Accessibility
The location is not only central but also very well connected. Metro stations Waterlooplein (lines 51, 53, and 54) and Rokin (North-South line) are within walking distance, providing quick connections to Amsterdam Central Station, Amsterdam Amstel, and the Zuidas. Several tram and bus stops are also nearby.
By car, you have direct access to the A10 ring road via the IJ Tunnel (S116), Piet Hein Tunnel, or Wibautstraat (S112). Parking is available through the municipal permit system. Residents of this address also have access, under current regulations, to nearby parking garages, including two located directly adjacent to the apartment.
