ELEGANT APARTMENT WITH GARDEN - Herengracht 118A, Amsterdam
Historic elegance and spaciousness on the Herengracht, the foremost canal in the heart of Amsterdam. This monumental apartment (approximately 187 m²) offers a unique living experience in which history and contemporary comfort come together. Through the monumental entrance you reach the front door of the home. Upon entering, you step into a generous hall that serves as the pivotal point of this exceptional home; from this central point, one immediately experiences the full depth of the building, with sightlines running from the canal side all the way to the garden at the rear, underscoring the spatial allure and transparency of the home.
The front living room reflects classic refinement. High ceilings with original ornamentation and a fireplace set the scene, while the grand window bays ensure beautiful natural light and an intimate connection with the canal. The view through to the Singel adds an extra dimension; a place where the dynamism of the city and the tranquillity of the home meet in a subtle way.
The rear of the bel-etage is characterised by a serene sense of seclusion. The dining room with open kitchen forms a fluid transition to outdoor living, with French doors providing direct access to the terrace and the beautifully landscaped garden (approximately 270 m²). The tranquillity of the garden can also be experienced from the library. This garden forms an integral part of the entire building; a wonderful, shared oasis for all residents. The thoughtful interior design highlights the home's timeless quality.
The apartment is spread over the bel-etage and the rear section of the basement level. While the bel-etage excels in its authentic grandeur and monumental detailing, the basement level offers a private, comfortable atmosphere with two spacious bedrooms and a high-quality bathroom. The basement is directly connected to the garden, reinforcing the connection between indoors and outdoors. The result is a home distinguished by a well-considered balance between historic richness and modern living quality.
This is a place for the connoisseur who values aesthetics, spaciousness, and the beauty of an Amsterdam canal house.
