HET BURGERMEESTERHUIS | Living on one of Amsterdam’s most iconic canals in a remarkable canal residence. Keizersgracht 29 is a monumental canal house spanning no fewer than five levels, including a basement and attic, with a total living area of approximately 490 m². Behind the stately 17th-century façade lies a characterful residence with a rich history. Tour The basement, approximately 125 m² (including additional internal space), is exceptionally spacious and features a practical and versatile layout. Original elements such as a 17th-century wine cellar, robust wooden beams, masonry walls, and niches give this level authentic character. The rooms are currently used as a hobby space, bicycle storage, walk-in closet, laundry area, and boiler room. At the garden side, a charming live-in kitchen opens directly onto the approximately 129 m² garden. Bel-Etage On the bel-etage, the front house features two grand en suite rooms with views over the Keizersgracht. Ceilings reach nearly 3.60 metres in height, with ornate plasterwork, a fireplace, and original grisaille paintings by Adriaan de Lelie. The rear room includes an additional kitchenette. In the rear house is a separate living space with its own bathroom and private terrace with direct access to the garden. This area is ideal as a guest suite, au pair quarters, or independent studio. First Floor On the first floor, a generously sized living room with a pantry is situated at the front, offering canal views across the full width of the house. At the rear, a bedroom with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooks the garden and features a private bathroom. This floor can function as a fully self-contained living space, if desired. Second and Third Floors The second and third floors currently contain two independent apartments: one in the front house of approximately 125 m² and one in the rear of about 50 m², separated by a roof terrace. Both have their own kitchen and bathroom. On the third floor, the original 17th-century hoisting wheel remains intact and functional. An internal staircase leads to the attic, with a ridge height of 2.10 metres, currently used for storage. Outdoor Space The garden, featured in the Tuingrachtenboek of the Keizersgracht, is impressively deep. Multiple seating areas allow for sun at various moments of the day. A planting map and bloom calendar are available. Neighbourhood Guide The area surrounding Keizersgracht 29 is one of the most picturesque and charming parts of Amsterdam.
