Description

Amsterdamsestraat 7 – Character, Space, and History in One Home


In the heart of the historic center of the picturesque fortified town of Muiden lies a true gem: a detached monumental town farmhouse dating back to 1808. This municipal monument beautifully combines authentic charm with modern comfort in a truly unique location. Original features such as sturdy wooden beams, a distinctive façade, and characteristic stable windows lend the property an atmospheric and characterful appearance that keeps its rich history alive.


This unique farmhouse was completely and carefully renovated in 2021 with an eye for detail. Historically, the house was functionally divided into a summer and winter section: the larger part was used during the colder months, while the smaller was sufficient for the summer, when life moved more outdoors. That original layout has been preserved, offering a unique flexibility today. The home can still easily be split into two separate units, each with its own electricity, gas, and heating systems. This makes it perfect for a studio, practice space, home office, or a comfortable guest accommodation. In short, a multifunctional home offering both character and comfort.


Inside, you'll find generous living spaces bathed in natural daylight from windows on all sides, creating an open and airy atmosphere. The spacious, southwest-facing city garden is a rare find in such a central location — a private green oasis of peace and quiet.


This exceptional property is just a stone’s throw from the historic Muiderslot castle, the river Vecht, cozy restaurants, and the marina. With Amsterdam only a 15-minute drive away, you enjoy the perfect balance: tranquil living with the vibrant city always within easy reach.

Layout of the House


Ground Floor:
Upon entering through the hallway, you step into the bright and spacious living room with an adjoining dining area. The living room features the former entrance, which has now been transformed into a practical utility space with washer and dryer connections — neatly concealed and efficiently used.


The open living space flows seamlessly into the modern kitchen, equipped with French doors leading outside. The kitchen includes a generous cooking island with an induction cooktop, a stylish designer extractor hood, and a cozy breakfast bar. Along the side wall, you’ll find a sink, built-in dishwasher, combi steam oven, and a spacious refrigerator.
There is also a second exit to the garden from the kitchen.


Also on the ground floor are a separate toilet with a washbasin, an individual shower room with sink, and a multifunctional room that can serve as an office or bedroom — making the house ideal for ground-floor living.
Additionally, there is another room at the front of the house that can be used as a bedroom or office.


First Floor:
From the living room, a staircase leads to the spacious master bedroom with an en-suite luxury bathroom. The bathroom features a bathtub, a vintage-style vanity with double sinks, and a toilet. This floor also offers ample storage space through built-in wardrobes and a walk-in closet.


At the front of the house, a separate staircase leads to the final bedroom, which also includes an adjacent storage area.
The garden is accessible from the street side, through two entrances from the kitchen and the adjoining garden/TV room, both with French doors opening to the outside.
In the garden, there is a large storage building with a covered section that can be used for bikes and more.

This detached town farmhouse offers a rare combination of character, comfort, and space — ideal for anyone seeking to live in Muiden’s historic center without compromising on privacy or livability. A charming place where living, working, and relaxing come together — and where every moment feels like coming home.
