HET ARENDSNEST | Apartment of approx. 93 m², located on one of the principal canals in the city centre. The apartment features a living room with open kitchen and canal views, two bedrooms, and a central bathroom. Situated on freehold land. The full living experience can be explored on our website, where you can also download our magazine and easily schedule a viewing. Tour The apartment is located in the southern part of the Canal Belt, between the Amstel and Vijzelgracht. It occupies a monumental building with a characteristic halsgevel (neck gable), richly detailed with volutes, a pierced floral motif, and an eagle crowning the façade. Attributed to Anthonie Turck, it is executed with a fine sense of proportion and rhythm. Entry is via a well-kept, classical stairwell. On the second floor, the apartment stretches across the full width of the canal-facing façade. The entrance hall offers generous space, with cloakroom cupboards and a separate toilet. The floor is finished with wide oak planks laid over full-surface sound insulation. At the front lies the living room, with three tall windows and an open view over the water, the trees, and the opposite side of the Keizersgracht. With a width of seven metres, the space feels calm and expansive. The gas fireplace is seamlessly integrated into a central wall, while the ceiling’s white-painted beams add rhythm and depth. The interplay of material, colour, and light enhances the interior’s harmonious character. A small step leads to the kitchen area, designed with a black worktop, white cabinetry, and all essential built-in appliances. A central island provides extra workspace and visual separation without disturbing the open character. The kitchen maintains a direct line of sight to the canal. At the rear are two bedrooms, both positioned around the light well. The larger room accommodates a full bed, bespoke wardrobes, and optionally a work corner. The second bedroom suits use as a guest room, children’s room, or study. Both enjoy indirect daylight and a tranquil atmosphere. The centrally located bathroom serves both rooms, fitted with a double washbasin, spacious walk-in shower with glass partition, a second toilet, and a designer radiator. Finished in neutral tones with understated detailing. Adjacent is a lockable utility room with technical installations and connections for washer and dryer. Although the apartment has no outdoor space, the expansive canal views at the front more than compensate. The tall windows open onto a scene of water, treetops, and sky—an ever-changing canvas. For years, the apartment served as a pied-à-terre: a permanent place in the city, carefully maintained and attentively lived in. Under the name Het Arendsnest (“The Eagle’s Nest”), the property stands for tranquillity, perspective, and quality—at one of the most coveted addresses in the Canal Belt. What the residents will miss “The view from the three canal-facing windows makes the apartment feel spacious. Visitors always walk straight to the windows to look outside. The outlook over the wide canal—with no houseboats blocking the view, but with the occasional passing boat—is something special. You can see far along the bend in the canal, even past Wibautstraat.” Neighbourhood Keizersgracht 704 is located between Reguliersgracht and Vijzelgracht, in the sought-after 1017 postcode of the Grachtengordel-Zuid.
