Thanks to Ingek73 for sending in this beautiful renovated 1880 2rm. apt. in Amsterdam. It has 1bd 1ba, but what a bedroom! This building housed Roman Catholic nuns and the bedroom is in their former chapel. €1.695M / $1,831,702 + €364.60mo. / $394mo. fee.
The main room is a spacious combination living room/kitchen. I like the soft lighting they installed.
Pocket doors close off the bedroom from the main room.
The kitchen is very nice and has room for 2 stools at the island.
In the corner, there's room enough for a sizable table & chairs.
There's plenty space for a few more furniture pieces in the sitting area.
View of the bedroom, w/the doors open, from the main room.
Check this out- The bed is on a platform and there's a sofa sized window seat.
But, look at the magnificent chapel ceiling over the bed.
Behind the bed is a large closet.
Beautiful leaded glass windows.
The door on the left is the bathroom.
Beautiful spacious bath and shower.
There's a permit parking system on the street along the canal.

Hello, Amsterdam.
As I wandered through your streets, I anticipated a mild affection for your character. Yet, what unfolded was an unexpected depth of sentiment. In each corner, a subtle understanding; in every view, a braided narrative between what was outside and how it reflected inside me. And with great joy, I slipped into a long-forgotten but familiar sensation of exploration and mirroring of self into the world.

Hey everyone!
If you haven't had the chance to visit the Amsterdam Canals, you're in luck - there's a new Youtube video that takes you on a virtual canal cruise tour of the city. The video shows the entire route, and it's just like being there in person!
The Amsterdam Canals are a UNESCO World Heritage site, and for good reason. These beautiful waterways wind their way through the heart of the city, passing by historic buildings, charming bridges, and picturesque parks.
And the best way to experience the canals is on a canal cruise. The video captures all the sights and sounds of a typical cruise, from the gentle splash of the water to the serene beauty of the city at night. You'll feel like you're right there on the boat, taking in the sights and soaking up the atmosphere.
So if you're looking to add the Amsterdam Canals to your bucket list, or just want to relive the magic of a canal cruise, be sure to check out this Youtube video. It's the next best thing to being there in person!

Amsterdam Long Weekend March 2023
This was our first visit back to Amsterdam since 2019, in fact it was my first time travelling outside the UK since all the madness of 2020. It was so nice to be in an airport, on a plane and back to exploring one of my favourite places in the world. Amsterdam is my happy place, I feel so calm when I am there. We had never visited in March before, I did miss the tree’s being lush and green, but…

Let's go for "baroque." You won't believe what's behind the door of this 1683 canal house in Amsterdam. 3bds, 4ba, € 3.95M / $4.248M. Thanks to ingek73 for finding this gem- it really is a jewel.
Open the door to this incredible marble and gold entrance hall.
Sitting room #1 has a wonderful mural on the ceiling.
And, it opens right into sitting room #2. Note the fireplace wall and spiral columns. Look at the ceiling- they hung a huge framed painting up there, that fits perfectly into the coffered ceiling.
This deck has a skylight in it. Either that, or they more likely built a deck around the skylight. So unique.
The view from below in this gorgeous 2nd kitchen.
Luxurious primary bedroom.
The galley kitchen is modern, but I like these cabinets.
Stairs to the upper floor just outside the kitchen.
Another elegant sitting room. I like the dark ceiling and light beams. It's different. Murals decorate the ceiling, also.
Spiral stairs. The home consists of 5 floors.
Upper landing with a library/game room.
Isn't this bath amazing?
One of the beautiful bedrooms. I like the small canopy over the single bed.
One thing about expensive homes, you're never at loss for sitting rooms.
These rooms on the next floor are beautiful. Looks like there's a kitchenette, too.
Modern bath up here.
A ladder above this space leads to a catwalk that makes the most of every level of the house.
Isn't this cool? Feel like a ship's captain in this room at the top of the house. There's even a widow's walk on this house.
Below is a cozy chair next to a fireplace.
There's also a private workroom up here.
Down to the lower level that used to be a dental office.
It's been converted to a beautifully spacious apt.
What a great house.
