History with character This canal house has a rich history dating back to around 1617, when Amsterdam's canals were built. Over the centuries it underwent various transformations. In the period 1725-1735, the facade stone “Het Starretje” was added. In 1909, the building was completely rebuilt to the design of architect Charles Estourgie, including the distinctive bay windows. In 1973, the original layout - with a store and upper apartments - was changed to a spacious residence. A thorough renovation in 2001 brought the property to its current layout. Layout: Fourth floor - Spectacular roof terrace. The roof terrace is accessed via a fixed staircase and a spacious roof hatch, making it easy and comfortable to access. Once upstairs, a breathtaking view of historic Amsterdam awaits. Third floor - Living kitchen with outdoor feeling This floor is accessed via the stairs or the private elevator and is set up as an attractive living kitchen with dining area, with a wood burning fireplace, at the rear. Thanks to the electric sliding roof, the indoors becomes the outdoors effortlessly. The kitchen is stylish and practical, double doors at the front lead to a charming balcony with a beautiful view of the Herengracht. At the rear is a second terrace. Second floor - Spacious living room with fireplace The second floor is the sitting area of the house and accessible by elevator and stairs. At the front is a bright, open space for conversation or relaxation, with a view of the canal. At the back, a cozy fireplace invites you to read a good book. Here you will also find a separate toilet and the stairs to the second and third floors. First floor - Luxury bedroom floor This floor offers ultimate comfort and is directly accessible by elevator. An impressive closet wall of 8 meters long, a luxurious bathroom and a private terrace make this floor a real private oasis. At the rear are a separate toilet and the stairs to the other floors. Ground level - Flexible layout with possibilities. The central hall gives access to the elevator, a spacious study at the front and a large storage room and laundry with attic. Thanks to the absence of load-bearing interior walls, this floor can be completely opened into a generous living space, or an additional bedroom. Souterrain - Independent living or working space The basement has its own entrance from the canal and is equipped with a kitchenette, a living/bedroom and a bathroom. This part of the property can be closed off internally and is practically ideal as office space, guest quarters or independent living space for older children or in-laws. Why this property.
