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 cast le, 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.
