Keizersgracht 494-A1017 EH AmsterdamLeidsegracht-Zuid

Exceptional ground-floor residence of approximately 160 m² in a listed canal house on one of the most iconic stretches of the Keizersgracht. The property features a deep southwest-facing city garden, a self-contained studio with private entrance, a detached garden house, and an impressive basement with an original vault. Entirely laid out on one level, located on freehold land, and thoroughly renovated in 2024 with a meticulous focus on design, materials, and cohesion. Layout: At the front of the house lies the studio: a self-contained unit of approximately 30 m² with a private entrance, large windows, and canal views. The space is shell-finished and can be arranged as a third bedroom with en-suite bathroom, or as a quiet home office with independent access (with a toilet already in place, making it suitable for conversion into a full bathroom). The main residence is situated at the rear. An open floor plan, 2.90 metres high ceilings, and full-width glass walls create a sense of space, light, and clarity. The seamless cast PU floor with underfloor heating runs throughout the property. The kitchen is a semi-professional chef’s kitchen in a custom-designed, minimalist matte black finish. It is equipped with Miele appliances from their luxury line, including induction cooktop with integrated extraction, oven, dishwasher, wine fridge, washer, dryer, and a blast freezer. All cabinetry includes built-in lighting, combining practicality with refined design. The primary bedroom is located at the rear, separated from the living area, and includes an en-suite bathroom finished in a soft, neutral palette with a solid natural stone basin, a steam shower by Cleopatra Wellness, and toilet. The southwest-facing garden of approximately 107 m² is deep and perfectly sunlit. At the back stands a detached garden house, arranged as a second bedroom with private bathroom — a fully functional garden suite with abundant privacy. Beneath the residence is a large basement of approximately 115 m² with the original vault. Raw, robust, and generous in scale, a space with potential for storage, studio, or workshop use.
