This impressive monumental building is located on one of Amsterdam's most beautiful canals, between Brouwersgracht and Westerstraat. It offers a beautiful apartment of approximately 175 m2, with exceptional finishes and an elevator that opens directly into the apartment. The apartment has a southeast-facing balcony, directly adjacent to the living room, and offers a beautiful view of the canal. The building, which stands on its own land, has a depth of 30 meters and contains three bedrooms and an attractive balcony. The building immediately catches the eye from the canal due to its beautiful ornaments and double bay windows with balconies at the front.
Layout
The entrance with high ceilings provides access to the elevator and the private staircase, which takes you to the third floor of the penthouse. The building was completely renovated in 2016, with the elevator opening directly into the apartment. Interior designer Remy Meijers finished the apartment with high-quality materials and all modern conveniences. The apartment has dark wood herringbone flooring with underfloor heating, a well-thought-out lighting plan, built-in speakers, home automation, an alarm system, luxurious bathrooms and kitchen, and various custom-made cabinets.
The living room with open kitchen is located at the front of the house. The custom-made kitchen is equipped with top-of-the-line Miele, Siemens, and Bora appliances, including a spacious fridge-freezer, Bora induction hob with integrated extractor hood, dishwasher, combi-oven, built-in coffee machine, wine climate cabinet, and a Quooker. The countertop extends into the room, creating an integrated dining table. The room has an impressive height of 4.2 meters, which is emphasized by the cabinet wall that extends to the ceiling and features a niche for cooking utensils and art objects. The sitting area with gas fireplace is located on the canal side and has access to the balcony. The balcony faces southeast, where you can enjoy the sun and the view of the passing boats from early morning until most of the afternoon.
The spectacular master bedroom is located at the rear, in the cooler part of the apartment. It has a built-in wardrobe around the bed, a gas fireplace, and a custom-made wall unit. The large windows offer a typical Amsterdam view of the canal houses, and the high location ensures plenty of privacy and a beautiful view in the distance. The ensuite bathroom is fully finished in natural stone and has a spacious walk-in rain shower, a separate toilet, and a double sink. This room also has skylights and a remarkable ceiling height of 11.5 feet. Next to the bedroom is a washbasin finished in travertine and a separate toilet.
The second bedroom is centrally located in the apartment and has a closet wall, a fan, and an ensuite bathroom. The bathroom is partially finished with natural stone and includes a washbasin, walk-in shower with sliding glass door, and a toilet.
The staircase to the first bedroom is stylishly concealed in the wall next to the kitchen. This bedroom is of a good size and has an attractive beamed ceiling. The bathroom has a walk-in shower finished with concrete wash, a washbasin, built-in cupboards, and a separate toilet.
Extra skylights provide beautiful light in the apartment. The 30-meter-deep space is interrupted by a light well, and both bedrooms are accessible from the hall.
Upon request, the apartment can be delivered to the buyer fully furnished. The apartment also has a stair cupboard with connections for a washing machine and dryer, and the landing has a wardrobe with built-in lighting.
