Singel 116-C1015 AE AmsterdamLeliegracht e.o.

This characterful upper-floor residence of approximately 146 m² is located in the ‘Huis met de Neuzen’ (House with the Noses), a national monument originally built around 1640 and extensively remodelled in the mid-18th century. The original beamed ceilings have been preserved and form an attractive contrast with the modern kitchen, bathrooms and installations, including underfloor heating. The property offers three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a sunny west-facing roof terrace of approximately 14 m², with afternoon and evening sun and views of the Westertoren. At the front, large windows spanning the full width bring in an abundance of natural light and frame a beautiful view over the canal and the historic canal houses opposite. The building itself has also been well maintained in recent years. Both the front and rear façades have been fully repainted and the stairwell has been renovated. In addition, part of the roofs has recently been renewed and insulated. An atmospheric upper-floor residence where historic details and modern comfort come together, in an exceptional location on the Amsterdam canals. The property is located on freehold land, so there is no ground lease. Floor plan: Upon entering the monumental building, the stately entrance with its marble finishes and original details immediately stands out. The characteristic staircase, overlooking the light well and the original ornamentation, leads up to the apartment. The apartment’s entrance gives access to a spacious hall with a wardrobe cupboard, a practical space for the washing machine and dryer, and a separate toilet. The hall opens onto the generous living and dining room with open-plan kitchen. The living room is situated on the canal side, where three large windows spanning the full width allow for wonderful natural light. Beneath the windows is a built-in window seat with cushions and storage, a lovely spot to sit and take in the view over the canal, Hotel The Craftsmen and the characteristic façades across the water. The warm interior is defined by an oak plank floor and the original beamed ceilings, which have been left fully exposed. The living room flows seamlessly into the open-plan kitchen, finished in wood with a light worktop and matching splashback. A wall of cabinets with tall units and open shelving provides ample storage and houses various integrated Miele appliances, including an oven, microwave and wine climate cabinet. The kitchen further features a Quooker. Thanks to the large window overlooking the light well at the rear, the kitchen too enjoys plenty of natural light. On the floor above, two spacious bedrooms are arranged around a generous landing, one of which provides access to the sunny roof terrace with views of the Westertoren. Both bedrooms feature exposed original beamed ceilings and look out over the canal houses and surrounding rooftops. The bathroom is accessible from the landing and features a walk-in shower with rain shower, a double washbasin and a wall-hung toilet. The room is finished in light tiles from floor to ceiling. The top floor is perhaps the most characterful space in the property. Here, the complete original roof structure has been left exposed, which, combined with a ceiling height of no less than 3.55 metres, creates a remarkable sense of space. The bedroom has a roof window as well as a window at the front overlooking the canal houses. The adjoining bathroom is fitted with a freestanding bath, a washbasin and a wall-hung toilet. Here too, the original timber beams have been left exposed. This floor also houses the central heating boiler and a practical storage space, ideal for suitcases and other belongings.
