Signature Listing 17th-century canal house full of character, light and timeless elegance. Located on one of the most beautiful parts of the Herengracht — calm, stately and free of houseboats — lies this exceptional 17th-century canal house. A national monument that not only breathes history, but also warmth, light and a refined atmosphere that embraces you the moment you walk in. This is not a residence you simply view. This is a residence you feel. Divided over four living floors (excluding the basement), with six bedrooms, four bathrooms, a patio, an alleyway and a hidden roof terrace tucked between the historic roofs of the inner city. A home that offers space for life, tranquility, creativity, family, work and long evenings by the canal. Tour Lower level/ Basement Currently used as a bed & breakfast, the lower ground floor offers a range of possibilities. The bright living room is perfect for relaxation, while the open kitchen invites casual cooking and dining. The bedroom, with an adjoining walk-in closet, provides privacy and comfort. Thanks to the smart layout and a ceiling height of 2.29 meters, this space could also be ideal as a home office, practice room, or independent living space for an au pair. Bel-etage You enter on the bel-etage, where the tall windows at the front frame the canal like a living painting. At the rear: a large kitchen with modern appliances, fireplace and precisely that atmosphere that invites long dinners and good conversations. First floor An architectural staircase brings you to the first floor. Here: a spacious bedroom with private bathroom (shower, bath, double sinks, toilet). At the front, an atmospheric second living room with canal views — or a full bedroom — a space that breathes, carries and inspires. From this floor you can also step onto the patio: a hidden peaceful spot in the middle of the city. Second floor Two spacious bedrooms, each with its own bathroom. Privacy. Comfort. Harmony. Ideal for family, guests or working from home. Third floor A spacious bedroom at the front, a characterful mezzanine as an additional room, and then the highlight: the roof terrace. Intimate, sheltered, and overlooking the historic rooftops and the church — a rare luxury in the city centre. Neighbourhood guide Between the Wijde Heijsteeg and the Koningsplein lies a part of the canal that is cherished by Amsterdammers who seek tranquillity without leaving the city. With the ‘9 Straatjes’ literally around the corner — boutiques, galleries, delicatessens, cosy cafés — and cultural highlights such as the Stopera, the Concertgebouw, the P.C. Hooftstraat and even the Vondelpark within walking distance. It is a location where life feels like a privilege.
