LAYOUT:

The apartment is on the second floor of a magnificent, broad canal house and can be reached by either the lift or the staircase.

Inside the hallway, the separate toilet with a washstand is to your right. The generously sized bedroom offers amazing canal views and easily fits a double bed, a wardrobe, and a desk. The bathroom features two washbasins, a large walk-in shower, and a built-in closet for the washing machine and dryer.

The living area includes an open-plan kitchen with a 4-burner hob plus a hood, a fridge, and an oven. The large windows at the front also overlook the canals. Next to the kitchen is another practical and deep boxroom.

In 2023, the entire apartment was fully renovated with a great eye for detail, so all you need to do is unpack.

SURROUNDING AREA:

The property is located on the famous Herengracht, between the Leliegracht and Herengracht, and is part of a listed building on freehold land.

Herengracht:

Named after the city’s Gentlemen Governors (Amsterdam used to be ruled by governors instead of by an administration). In 1612, the moat that was already here was broadened to create the first of the three main canals as part of the city’s expansion. The Herengracht was extended beyond the Leidsegracht as part of the expansion that started in 1658, which now also includes the Nieuwe Herengracht. (Source: Stadsatlas Amsterdam)
