Where the Prinsengracht flows into the Amstel, there is beautiful and peaceful living. At the same time, you can feel the dynamism of everything that makes Amsterdam so special. This historic canal house is located in this beautiful spot, and with a living area of approx. 6,555 sqft (609 sqm) plus terraces of approx. 1,098 sqft (102 sqm), it exudes breathtaking luxury, even by Amsterdam standards.
Over several years, the characteristic white building was renovated to perfection under architecture and transformed into a stylish, contemporary urban villa. Your wildest living dreams can come true in this unique location—even an indoor pool with a spa is possible. The space is there, and the preparations have already been made.
The Prinsengracht is not only Amsterdam's longest canal; according to many, it is also the nicest place to live. Indeed, the section between Utrechtsestraat and Amstel is quiet and pleasant, with an almost village-like ambiance. But with the Magere Brug, Royal Theatre Carré, the H'ART Museum (the former Hermitage), the Stopera, and countless fine restaurants within walking distance, you live in Amsterdam's vibrant cultural center.
STYLISH CANAL HOUSE
One of the most impressive buildings on the Prinsengracht, located on this last section of the Prinsengracht, which turns into the Nieuwe Prinsengracht after the Amstel. This property has a history as the Amstel custodial school (ca. 1860) and, more recently, as a police station. The building has recently been magisterially renovated into a stylish, luxurious canal house with an abundance of space and equipped with mundane comfort, befitting city living at the highest level.
The renovation - carried out by the best specialists in their field - made grateful use of the unusual width of twelve meters and approx. 6,555 sqft (609 sqm) of living space offered by the canal house. To create as much freedom as possible for the design team and as much space and luxury as possible for the residents, the renovation opted for installing a steel skeleton, allowing maximum use of the layout possibilities without having to take load-bearing walls into account. Usually, canal houses are narrow and deep, resulting in minimal natural light and few options for a 'grand' realization. In this case, the designers were given all the space they needed to work unhindered on an unrealistically beautiful dream house; playfully and spatially laid out, transparent and atmospheric while respecting the privacy and safety of the future residents. The enormous floor area is spread over just three floors, with the most space on the ground and first floors - an almost unimaginable luxury by Amsterdam standards. Where in the capital can you find a canal house with an enclosed courtyard garden, a roof terrace, and possibilities for wellness, fitness, and an indoor swimming pool on the ground floor?
PURE CRAFTMANSHIP
Behind the authentic, restored façade, literally, everything is new. The interior is of international allure and exudes pure luxury. Natural materials were chosen: beautiful marble, robust wooden floors, and custom-made wall cabinets and cast floors in the magnificent kitchen diner, the adjoining dining room, and the study. The kitchen diner is literally the heart of the house. Crafted in rustic oak with Breccia marble worktops and a blue-steel cooking island with PITT cooking.
The kitchen and dining room are separated from the living room by a meter-long horizontal gas fireplace, clad from floor to ceiling in white-veined grey ceramic marble, with an overwhelming visual effect. The whole exudes stylish warmth and pure craftsmanship. The passion for perfection can be seen everywhere, down to the most minor details.
Thanks to the wall-to-wall windows and skylights, the interior is bathed in daylight. From the balcony by the kitchen, you look down into the spectacular courtyard garden, with a robust classic fireplace as the pièce de résistance. This delightful outdoor room is undoubtedly the best proof that every centimeter was used optimally in the renovation to bring living enjoyment to a solitary level.
A contemporary living dream has been realized on this historic site on Prinsengracht, which will surprise even the most demanding buyer—geared towards a fashionable, global lifestyle.
This monumental canal house is offered turn-key. As all elements - the interior, upholstery, lighting, decoration, and furnishing - are meticulously coordinated and can rightly be called a total design, a complete takeover is negotiable. Even the new residents can take over the unique art objects in the house.
All you have to do is unpack your suitcases to enjoy luxury living every day in this cocoon of peace and privacy in the heart of Amsterdam's metropolis.
