CANAL LIVING WITH VIEWS ALL THE WAY TO THE BROUWERSGRACHT
Located on one of the most beloved and picturesque stretches of the Keizersgracht, between the Jordaan and the Negen Straatjes, this characterful apartment of approximately 82 m² occupies a 17th-century canal house. From the living room, enjoy stunning, unobstructed views over the water all the way to the Brouwersgracht — a rare and highly sought-after sightline in Amsterdam's city center.
THIS HOME AT A GLANCE:
- Elevator and single-floor living — a rare combination of a lift and an apartment entirely on one level, with no internal stairs
- 13 m² terrace at the rear — accessible from the second room
- Made-to-measure window bench — the perfect spot to enjoy the view over the Keizersgracht
- Unobstructed canal view — over the water all the way to the Brouwersgracht, from the living room
- Plenty of storage — built-in closet, a full storage room downstairs, and shared bike storage
The apartment is situated entirely on one floor and accessible via the elevator — a rare combination of comfort and character that few 17th-century canal houses in this segment can offer. The property shares its entrance with the neighboring building, which was renovated in 1987. Thanks to this shared arrangement, the complex was able to install an elevator at the time — a feature almost never found in original 17th-century canal houses, giving this apartment a unique advantage over comparable canal properties.
LAYOUT
Through the stately communal entrance and the elevator, you reach the apartment. The spacious canal-facing living room features oak flooring and a beautifully made-to-measure window bench — the ideal spot to take in the view over the canal, perfect for enjoying a cup of coffee or a good book while watching life on the Keizersgracht go by. The authentic, low beamed ceilings add extra character and charm.
Both bedrooms are located at the rear. The primary bedroom is a full-sized bedroom; the second room is currently used as a home office with a sofa bed and has direct access to the approx. 13 m² terrace — ideal as a home office, guest room, or second bedroom, to be arranged as desired.
The rear terrace is a wonderful spot to sit outside, have breakfast, or relax.
The apartment also offers plenty of storage: in addition to a handy built-in closet within the home itself, there is a full private storage room downstairs in the building, as well as shared bike storage on the ground floor.
