Upper-floor apartment positioned in the rear section of a canal house
Description
*English*
Quietly positioned in the rear section of a characteristic canal house, this approximately 95 sq. m. upper-floor apartment offers two bedrooms, a luxuriously finished bathroom and a bright, open-plan living space overlooking the greenery and the iconic Westertoren. Original exposed wooden beams and brick walls combine historic character with a contemporary, move-in-ready finish. A rare combination of tranquillity and a prime central location on the Prinsengracht, with the Westertoren just around the corner.
The apartment was extensively renovated and has been exceptionally well maintained ever since. It also benefits from an energy label A, which is particularly rare for a property in this historic location.
Layout
The apartment is accessed via a private entrance on the first floor, which can be reached both through the front building and via the rear garden and rear building. From the entrance, the apartment opens into a spacious open-plan living area, where original wooden beams span the full length of the ceiling and the kitchen with its central island forms the heart of the space.
The living room extends towards the garden side, where three windows framed by brick arches offer views of the surrounding greenery and the Westertoren. The result is a living space that feels remarkably peaceful and green despite its central city location, with ample room for a generous seating area and a large dining table.
The sleek kitchen is finished in high-gloss white and fitted with high-quality integrated appliances, complemented by a stainless-steel extractor hood above the island. Two built-in cupboards provide practical additional storage.
From the living area, a hallway leads to the sleeping quarters, where the exposed wooden beams continue the characteristic feel of the property. The two well-proportioned bedrooms are positioned next to one another in a quiet, separate part of the apartment, with a separate toilet located at the end of the hallway. The luxuriously finished bathroom, situated near the entrance, completes the apartment and features a bathtub, walk-in shower and double washbasin.
