Exceptional loft Penthouse living on one of Amsterdam’s most beautiful canals Set high above Amsterdam’s historic canal belt, this exceptional penthouse combines monumental architecture, contemporary comfort and far reaching views. At almost six metres wide, with high ceilings and windows on both sides, the apartment feels remarkably open and light. Its elevated position among the mature trees lining the canal creates a peaceful treehouse atmosphere in the heart of the city. Arranged across several levels, the home offers three bedrooms, an expansive open plan living floor and a versatile loft. The third bedroom is currently fitted and used as a generous walk in wardrobe. Extensively Maintained and Energy Efficient Considerable investment has been made in both the apartment and the monumental building. The roof has been renewed and insulated, the gutters replaced, the rear façade renovated and rerendered, and the front façade recently painted. New window frames with monument glass and enhanced acoustic insulation provide excellent comfort while respecting the historic character of the building. Together, these improvements have contributed to the apartment’s excellent energy label A. The European oak herringbone flooring has also recently been sanded and refinished, leaving the apartment beautifully presented and ready to move into. Open Plan Living The generous living floor brings the sitting room, dining area and kitchen together in one flowing space. European oak herringbone floors, a built in gas fireplace, cast iron radiators and steel framed glass doors create a warm interior that balances historic character with contemporary design. The windows provide views across Amsterdam’s rooftops towards the Rijksmuseum and Westertoren. A Spectacular Upper Floor Beneath the exposed A frame roof, the ceiling rises to approximately 4.5 metres, creating a dramatic loft atmosphere. A magnificent monumental arched window, exposed timber beams, a freestanding bath and expansive rooftop views make this one of the apartment’s most distinctive spaces. The versatile loft can be used as a home office, creative space, occasional guest area or generous storage. Approximately 175 m² of Gross Floor Area The apartment has an official NEN living area of approximately 127 m², while the floor plans show a total gross floor area of approximately 175 m² across the entrance, principal levels and loft. This difference is largely explained by the high pitched A frame roof. Under the applicable measurement method, areas beneath the sloping roof are excluded from the official living area wherever the clear height falls below 1.5 metres. Much of this additional floor area is actively used for fitted cabinetry, storage, the freestanding bath and other everyday purposes. The apartment therefore offers considerably more physical space and flexibility than its official NEN measurement alone suggests.
