a truly unique and exceptionally finished triplex ground-floor residence with a rooftop terrace, patio, and balcony, located on a quiet stretch of the prinsengracht canal with no houseboats in front and just steps away from the new rosewood hotel.
this apartment is part of a completely renovated canal house, which is also available for purchase in its entirety. the upper apartments, owned by the same seller, may also be purchased separately or together.
no expense was spared during the renovation: only the highest quality and most distinctive materials were used. antique and reclaimed elements have been carefully added to restore the grandeur of this classic canal property. materials and pieces from los angeles, nairobi, london, and paris have been harmoniously combined, making this home a true one-of-a-kind along the amsterdam canals.
the apartment features a grand entrance with marble finishes and a double security door.
from the hallway, residents of the upper apartments may access their homes via a lift or stairs. the lift also stops at the first floor of the ground-floor residence.
on the bel-etage, you’ll find a spacious live-in kitchen with a cozy sitting area facing the canal, offering breathtaking views. with ceilings over five meters high, this level exudes the timeless charm of a historic canal house.
classic shutters, unique wall coverings, and a gas fireplace with antique mantel add to the atmosphere.
at the rear, french doors open onto a large terrace. the custom-made kitchen is equipped with every luxury a passionate cook could dream of — filtered water tap, wine climate cabinet, steam oven, plate warmer, and a boiling water tap — all by top brands like subzero and wolf.
a spacious pantry offers ample storage. this entire floor features antique wooden flooring, and the stairs are crafted from matching oak.
on the lower ground level, there are two bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, a separate laundry room, and a beautifully designed walk-in wardrobe. all built-in with care and finished with refined, classic materials and modern comfort.
the master suite and main bathroom open to a private inner courtyard, where one can relax outdoors — especially after a session in the turkish steam bath.
the main bathroom features a toilet, double vanity, and a freestanding copper bathtub, with custom-made wall coverings, a wooden floor, and an antique vanity (available by separate negotiation).
the first floor features a grand living room with a wide balcony overlooking the courtyard. this level also has a kitchenette with a copper countertop for convenient entertaining. the magnificent view of the canal can be enjoyed through three wide, towering windows. there is also a separate guest toilet. the antique wooden floor on this level was sourced from a french château — truly rare and beautiful.
