This Amsterdam carriage house dates from the 1890s and is a marriage of old and new, a stone’s throw from the city’s famous Vondelpark.

The handsome red brick building at Palamedesstraat 4 was constructed in a Dutch Neo-renaissance style and was renovated in 2018 as a residence and B&B. A covered courtyard completely separates the coach house from the former B&B, which offers future potential as a short-term let, guest house or primary bedroom.

The carriage house, meanwhile, is arranged over three levels: the living room at the front looks onto the Palamedesstraat, while the kitchen and dining area are on the first floor, with access to a large, sunny terrace. Mod cons include a Quooker tap – providing boiling, filtered and sparking water – wine cooler and new appliances.

Bedrooms are above with access to a large roof terrace – a sunny spot to take a book and a glass of wine.

The three-bedroom Amsterdam property is for sale via PC22 for €1.399m. It is a short walk from the Vondelpark, shops and restaurants in the Overoom, and, of course, the Museumplein – home to the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Stedelijk Museum as well as the Concertgebouw.
