Once serving as an orphanage for the Diaconie der Hervormde Gemeente, this monumental building now stands as a residence full of character. In 1991, the orphanage was transformed into an elegant apartment complex. The listed building, located along a picturesque canal, impresses with its stately main entrance, beautifully landscaped communal courtyard, and other historic treasures such as the Thomashof and the Karinhof. Both Hollands Spoor and Central Station are easily accessible, as are shops and major roads—ideal for international professionals who value short travel times. Layout Entry is via the impressive main entrance of the national monument, where the authentic hall with intercom, grand staircase, stained-glass windows, and high ceilings highlights the building’s character. The distinctive staircase leads to the second floor. Upon entering the apartment, the striking 5.5-metre-high ceiling and the corner position immediately create a sense of light and space. The stylish living and dining area, approximately 50 m², features a bamboo floor and wooden double-glazed window frames overlooking, among other things, the canal. The open L-shaped kitchen is equipped with a refrigerator/freezer, dishwasher, four-burner ceramic (electric) hob, extractor hood, and oven. The neatly tiled bathroom includes a bathtub, shower, washbasin, toilet, and towel radiator. On the ground floor, there is a separate room accessible from the hall, currently used as storage and equipped with a washing machine connection. A wide staircase in the living room leads to the mezzanine floor, which provides access to the roof terrace. This space is currently arranged as a workspace with additional storage. The well-proportioned bedroom features a slanted roof with a Velux skylight. Personal note from the seller: “We have lived here very happily for almost 25 years!
