exceptionally charming canal house situated in one of the most beautiful and peaceful locations within amsterdam’s historic canal belt, offering breathtaking views over the prinsengracht, reguliersgracht, the amstelveld and the famous “9 bridges.” this national monument dates back to 1679 and was fully renovated in 1977, including the foundations, while carefully preserving its authentic character and historic details. in 2016/2017, the property underwent a further high-quality internal renovation, and more recently the exterior and parts of the interior have been repainted.
this is an exceptionally bright and atmospheric residence, offering a warm and inviting living experience through its unique layout, elegant proportions and abundance of natural light.
the property is situated on freehold land and comprises a lower ground floor, bel-etage, first floor, second floor and attic level. the lower ground floor is internally accessible but also benefits from its own private entrance from the street, making it ideally suited as a home office, guest accommodation or au pair residence.
