Keizersgracht 448: Historical Grandeur and Contemporary Luxury Located on the iconic and wide part of the Keizersgracht, where the city reflects in the water in its full breadth, stands Keizersgracht 448. This national monument, dating from around 1667 and part of our protected World Heritage, tells a story of change and continuity. From 1889 to 1989, the property served as the heart of the Schulman family coin business; a century of professional representation and craftsmanship. Today, that legacy has been transformed into a residence of exceptional quality, where the soul of the canal house is preserved and comfort has been optimized to the finest detail. The property is situated on freehold land and is maintained to an excellent standard. The foundation was restored in 1998. EXPERIENCE THE LIGHT AND ENCHANTING CANAL VIEWS THROUGHOUT Entering through the stately entrance, the impressive staircase leads you to the apartment. Here, you experience the history while immediately feeling the modern luxury of the renovation led by interior designer Edward van Vliet. The layout is a sophisticated choreography of space. On the second floor, with 3.3-meter high ceilings, light flows in through characteristic high windows. The view here is unique: due to the wide section of the canal, you can enjoy beautiful views in both directions. This floor features the open-plan kitchen by Robert Tediek: a masterpiece of walnut, Taj Mahal quartzite, and blued steel. It is the place where living, recreation, and cooking converge. The floor was fully renovated in 2022, combining a classic interior with modern amenities such as underfloor heating and a stylish high-efficiency fireplace. The kitchen is equipped with luxury appliances, including a Gaggenau oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, and two Quookers. The third and fourth floors form the private domain. Here, intimate lounges, a second living room, spacious bedrooms, and a fantastic private outdoor space alternate. The primary bedroom suite on the fourth floor is a serene cocoon with an en-suite bathroom and a spacious dressing area with custom built-in closets. Throughout the property, you will find a balance between old and new: original details are accentuated by a modern, minimalist design language, and on every floor, you experience a phenomenal view over the canal. TWO WORLDS, ONE ADDRESS The property is uniquely flexible and offers rare freedom. Beyond the main entrance, there is a second private entrance, which serves as a dedicated access point for the guest suite. The fully equipped studio on the third floor of the rear building functions perfectly as an independent guest accommodation with its own kitchen and bathroom, while the rest of the residence provides ample space for a family or a combination of living and working. The two spacious rooftop terraces, totaling 55 square meters, are both south-facing and offer absolute silence and a private oasis in the middle of the city. It is the perfect place to retreat for a glass of wine as the sun sets behind the Amsterdam rooftops. CRAFTSMANSHIP AND FUTURE-PROOFING The technical condition of the property matches its aesthetic design. All pipes and electrical systems have been renewed over the years, the installations are of top quality, and the Homeowners Association (VvE) is extremely solid. The foundation of the front building was restored in 1998. The apartment has been owned since 1997. The most recent renovation was carried out in 2022. The apartment features air conditioning units in all bedrooms and two high-efficiency fireplaces, one wood-burning and one gas. Keizersgracht 448 is not only a historical asset but a home that evolves with your life stage. It offers space for formal reception, the serenity for private life, and the strategic value of freehold land in the best location in Amsterdam.
