Charmant appartement op eigen grond aan de gracht met goede fundering
Description
Listed by Signature Listing
A bright and atmospheric 3-room apartment of 53 m² on the second floor, with two bedrooms and views over the Keizersgracht. It is set in a striking corner building in the Amsterdam School style, a municipal monument on freehold land, in the heart of the southern Canal Belt. The foundation was restored in 2015–2016, and in 2026 the exterior, interior and stairwell were repainted. Welcome to Keizersgracht 660-B in Amsterdam.
The building
On the corner of the Keizersgracht and the Vijzelstraat stands a building you won't easily forget. It was built around 1927 for pharmacist Warmolts, in the expressive style of the Amsterdam School. Look up and you'll see the rounded bay windows, the characteristic ladder windows and a remarkable sculpture: two stylised snakes coiled around a mortar, a nod to the pharmacy that operated here until 1967. Living here means living in a piece of Amsterdam's architectural history, right in the Canal Belt.
Lifestyle: a Saturday on the Keizersgracht
Your day starts slowly, with coffee by the bedroom window as the canal gradually wakes up. A few minutes later you stroll into the Utrechtsestraat for fresh pastries from Patisserie Kuyt, then enjoy breakfast at home overlooking the water. Afterwards you walk along the Reguliersgracht, pausing at the seven bridges to take in that famous view. Via the Amstelveld you continue to the Amstel for a walk along the river. On the way back you pick up something special for dinner at butcher De Leeuw, along with a few treats from the delis and specialty shops in the Utrechtsestraat. In the afternoon there is time for a terrace around the corner, or you simply watch the city go by from your own living room. In the evening you cook at home while the lanterns along the canal light up. Then you walk to a show at Carré or a film at Tuschinski, both within walking distance. And when you come home later, you see the lights along the canal reflected in the water. That is a Saturday on the Keizersgracht.
Tour
You reach the apartment on the second floor through the shared entrance. The living room with open kitchen is the heart of the home. The wooden floor runs throughout and will be sanded and oiled before completion. The main bedroom is at the front, where you wake up to views over the canal. The second, smaller bedroom is at the side and is ideal as a guest room, study or children's room. The bathroom has a shower and a toilet. A separate storage room houses the washing machine and offers extra storage space.
Neighbourhood
The building stands on the corner of the Keizersgracht and the Vijzelstraat, on the stretch of canal towards the Reguliersgracht, a stone's throw from the Amstelveld and the Amstel. The Utrechtsestraat is around the corner, with local specialty shops, delis, cafés and restaurants, as well as Amsterdam institutions such as Patisserie Kuyt and butcher De Leeuw. A little further on you'll find the famous view of the seven bridges on the Reguliersgracht, a well-known film location. Royal Theatre Carré, the H'ART Museum (formerly the Hermitage) and Tuschinski are all within walking distance.
Accessibility
Tram 4 stops in the Utrechtsestraat and tram 24 at the Vijzelgracht, so Central Station and De Pijp (North–South metro line) are just minutes away. By car, the apartment is easily reached via several exit roads from the A10 ring road.
