Woonschip Watergruwel Lijnbaansgracht Amsterdam centrum
For sale, te koop €450,000
The boat will be vacant from June 1, 2024 and available for viewing from (about) June 15, after renovations are completed.
The Watergruwel will be listed with a makelaar (estate agent) from that time.
Lijnbaansgracht is the best of the Amsterdam ring canals for living in. Traffic and noise are much lower than the main canals, yet it's still in the centrum area.
This is a legal houseboat with mooring rights in Amstedam centrum.

The location is in Amsterdam Centrum on Lijnbaansgracht near Vijzelgracht, a quiet, safe, leafy neighborhood, yet only 10 minutes by foot to the nightlife areas of Leidseplein or Rembrantsplein. Vondel park and the Rijksmuseum are also close by [the tower of the Rijks museum is visible out the window of the boat].
There is a stop for the new metro at the end of the
street just a few minutes walk from the boat.
There is high efficiency central heating and water cooled air-conditioning.
This boat has 15 opening windows.
All utilities [water, gas, electric, telephone, internet, and sewer] are
connected.
The water supply line is protected against freezing by a very good
automatic system. I've installed 4 of these and never had one fail.
She is suitable for a single person or a couple, but will sleep 4
persons, in 2 double beds if you have company for a weekend. There
is only 1 large room [3X12 meters, 10X39 feet] as well as a complete
open kitchen of 3X3 meters.
There is a powerful shower [no full bath], and a conventional
toilet. There's a washing machine and color TV included.
In 2018,
the total was
€228 per month for all utilities [water, electricity, gas,
internet and TV].

The Watergruwel is a tjalk built in the Netherlands in 1888. Riveted
steel, she was built as a sailing ship for freight.
I built the new cabin from 5mm steel, and completely renovated the "Watergruwel" in 1995.
All the windows are hardwood and double glazed. The south facing ones have roll down sunshades.
The walls and roof have 75mm of rockwool insulation.
The hull, as well as the front and back decks, are original, built in 1888; one of the oldest steel vessels surviving in the city.
The hull has been almost entirely double plated with welded steel plate
