Description
We are proud to offer this excellently maintained and spacious 2-bedroom apartment with a luxuriously appointed bathroom and a magnificent, light and airy living with an open-plan kitchen. The apartment is part of the historic (former) warehouse “Het Keizerrijk” and boasts spectacular views of the canal and the Westertoren. The apartment sits on the fourth floor and was completely renovated in 2010, when it got beautiful oak flooring, refurbished walls, a new kitchen, and a new bathroom.
The listed building was built on freehold land, on the relatively quiet part of the Herengracht, between the Raadhuisstraat and Leliegracht and a short walk from the Dam Square – in the heart of the bustling Jordaan area. Nearby cultural venues include the beautiful Westerkerk and the Anne Frank House. The famous 9 Streets shopping area with its many unique shops is right around the corner, as are Magna Plaza, the Bijenkorf department store, and the Noordermarkt (with its weekly market on Saturdays). And let’s not forget the many wonderful cafés and restaurants with cuisines from around the world, like Breda and Cecconi’s. In short, this is where you’ll find everything Amsterdam offers right on your doorstep!
Layout:
The private entrance opens to a hallway leading to all the other rooms. The two bedrooms, both generously sized and very light, are at the back of the building. The adjacent luxury bathroom offers a shower, a lavatory, and a bath. The white goods connections are tucked away in a separate boxroom.
The spacious living with an open-plan kitchen is at the front. The kitchen comes with a range of appliances and includes a playfully incorporated breakfast bar to connect the seating area and the kitchen.
The seating area also features a beautiful gas burner for even more cosiness and atmosphere during those long winter evenings. Double doors in the living open to a French balcony and the stunning views of the Herengracht.
And lastly, the apartment comes with a private storeroom on the ground floor.
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)
