Stylish City Apartment with Balcony and Canal Views
Flooded with light, luxuriously finished, and offering water views over the Singelgracht – this recently renovated urban apartment of approx. 74 m² radiates class. A few years ago, the building was completely renewed: the foundations, roof, and façades were all restored, repointed, and cleaned. The balconies were refurbished, and new wooden window frames with HR++ double glazing were installed throughout.
This listed building dating from 1880, with its high ceilings, deep southwest-facing balcony, and two bedrooms, is situated on freehold land. With Artis Zoo practically in your backyard, it is a rare and complete city gem.
The apartment is located on the first floor of this characterful building. Upon entering, you’re immediately struck by the abundance of daylight streaming through the large front-facing windows, which not only brighten the space but offer tranquil views of greenery and water. The finish is elegant, with modern materials that preserve the property’s classic charm. The deep balcony at the front overlooks the leafy Alexanderplein and, thanks to its southwest orientation, enjoys afternoon and evening sun.
At the quiet rear of the apartment is a spacious master bedroom and a second room ideal as a study, nursery, guest room, or full second bedroom. A rarely available apartment at the intersection of culture, calm, and vibrant city life.
LAYOUT
The apartment is accessed via a shared entrance. With its extra-high ceilings, the interior feels refined, bright, and spacious. The entire property is finished to a high standard, featuring oak herringbone flooring, custom panel doors with Piet Boon hardware, and dimmable recessed lighting to create the perfect mood in every room.
The sleek open-plan kitchen boasts an Italian marble worktop and high-end appliances from Miele and AEG, including a wine fridge, Quooker tap, induction hob, combi oven, and refrigerator. It flows seamlessly into the sun-filled living room, which has ample space for a large dining table and invites long dinners, cosy drinks with friends, or quiet evenings with a book on the sofa while enjoying canal views. The entire space exudes comfort, style, and a true sense of home.
French doors lead from the lounge onto the sunny balcony with views over Alexanderplein, where you can enjoy the afternoon and evening sun in peace.
At the rear, the generous master bedroom features tall windows and a custom-built-in wardrobe spanning the full height of the room. The second bedroom is also bright and versatile, ideal as a workspace, children’s room, or guest bedroom.
The bathroom has the serene luxury of a boutique hotel, with a beautiful freestanding bathtub, spacious walk-in shower, bespoke double vanity unit with heated mirror, a heated towel rail, and underfloor heating. Both the bath and sink unit are crafted from sustainable Corian by B Dutch. The attention to detail and refined design elevate your everyday routine into a spa-like experience.
The separate toilet with hand basin is adjacent to the hall. Also off the hallway is a separate utility room with washer and dryer connections – discreetly tucked away for a tidy and well-organised home.
