Grote Dam 11483 BK De RijpDe Rijp

De Keijzerskroon – an iconic national heritage site in the heart of Holland's most beautiful village. A place everyone in De Rijp knows. Situated next to the lock, with a waterway connection to the Eilandspolder, opposite the Grote Kerk (Great Church) and the 17th-century town hall designed by Jan Adriaansz. Leeghwater. Here stands the magnificent national heritage site "De Keijzerskroon" – a house that is not only photogenic and historic, but also wonderfully livable. With a sunny west-facing garden, water views, and monuments all around, this is perhaps the most iconic house in De Rijp. Inside, you'll find a high, bright living room with a beamed ceiling and a wide gas fireplace. From the windows, you'll enjoy a unique view of the lock and the village bustle. The semi-open, fully handcrafted kitchen is equipped with every luxury. It also overlooks the water – it couldn't be more Dutch. Behind the kitchen is a practical utility room and a hallway leading to the so-called "film room," once used for editing old Rijper films. This space also makes an excellent ground-floor bedroom. Upstairs, you'll find two spacious bedrooms and a generous bathroom that feels like a private spa: with a double bathtub, double sink, walk-in shower, toilet, TV connection, and built-in speakers. The large attic storage space is accessible via a loft ladder. With a small renovation, it could even be converted into two additional bedrooms. The backyard borders the waterway and has rear access via the historic lock. Thanks to its west-facing location, you can enjoy the afternoon sun until late in the evening. The garden features a spacious shed with ample space for hobbies, bicycles, or storage. MONUMENTAL STATUS: De Keijzerskroon is a national monument (built in 1671) and exudes history and character.
