HISTORIC LISTED BUILDING, THREE-STOREY CANALSIDE APARTMENT, STUNNING VIEWS
Whenever you think of a typical Amsterdam canal house, this property is what could easily come to mind. Attractive stone steps leading up to the elevated ground floor, large windows, a pleasing colour pattern, a beautifully decorative gable, and a fabulous entrance. The building dates from 1735.
This is an outstandingly charming apartment with a delightful ambience and a floor surface area of around 138m², situated on the first, second, and third floors of the front of the building. It has a good practical layout, including a vast living room enjoying picturesque views, a luxury kitchen, three bedrooms, two bathrooms, and plenty of cupboard and storage space.
Among the many notable features of the apartment are the amount of natural light, its overall level of comfort, and its location in the very heart of the Amsterdam city centre.
The current owners have renovated the apartment to every last detail, using the services of professional designers. This also involved the use of the high-quality materials. The furnishings and fittings will remain in the property after the sale; these include furniture by Flexform, Piet Hein Eek, Arco, among others.
LAYOUT
The outdoor stone steps lead up from the street to the entrance on the raised ground floor. Wonderful entrance, with a marble floor and panelling, and ornate plasterwork. Staircase to the first floor.
Upon entering, you find yourself in the huge living room, with its high ceiling and three large windows overlooking the canal. The living room has been stylishly designed, with a seating area and a dining section. A notable feature is the log burner for those cosy winter months. The semi-open designer kitchen is at the rear and comes with every modern convenience, including an induction hob, an oven, a dishwasher, a fridge, and a Quooker.
At the front on the second floor is the dining room and study, with windows that open out onto the canal. This is a lovely spot to start the day as the sun shines onto the front of the building. This room could also easily be used as a third bedroom. Situated at the quiet rear of the property is the master bedroom and ensuite bathroom. The bathroom is sheer luxury, and includes a walk-in shower, a two-person sink, a toilet, and a towel radiator. There is another toilet on the landing.
The third floor - the attic - is truly impressive, with the height of the ridge being almost four metres. To the front is the guest bedroom, which enjoys unforgettable views of the canal. There is an abundance of wardrobe and other storage space in the middle section of this floor. At the rear is the second bathroom, featuring a bath, a walk-in shower, a sink, a towel radiator, and space for a washing machine and dryer.
There is a small space above the sleeping area that could also serve as an extra ‘bedroom’ or for general storage.
In short, this is a very comfortable canalside apartment with a good practical layout that is ready for immediate occupancy.
LOCATION
The location of the apartment is absolutely idyllic - at one of the most sought-after parts of Keizersgracht, between Vijzelgracht and Leidsestraat.
This is a fantastic location in the very heart of the lively city centre. Utrechtsestraat, with its wide range of shops, is within easy walking distance, as are Dam Square and the Spiegelkwartier district and the surrounding area, home to many friendly bars and restaurants.
Numerous cultural options are close by, too, including the museums around Museumplein, such as the Rijksmuseum and the Van Gogh museum, as well as H’ART on the Amstel and the productions in Royal Theater Carré, the Stopera, and Stadsschouwburg.
The local public transport connections are excellent, providing quick access to every part of the city and beyond. Various tram routes run to and from Dam Square, but better still is the North-South Line, which calls at Vijzelgracht station. It takes you to Central Station or towards Zuidas in a matter of minutes.
The area is also easy to reach by car from the A10 Ring Road (junctions S112 and S116). Parking is on public roads, for which a permit is required.
