Living on the Keizersgracht – One of Amsterdam's Most Iconic Canals
For many, living on the Keizersgracht is the ultimate Amsterdam dream. Situated on one of the city's most iconic canals, in the heart of the historic Canal Belt, this beautifully finished monumental apartment of approximately 39 m² is offered on freehold land (no leasehold). From the living room, you can enjoy stunning views over the Keizersgracht and its characteristic canal houses, which have made Amsterdam's city centre famous around the world.
Located on the first floor of an elegant listed canal house, the apartment is presented in excellent condition. Thanks to its high-quality finishes and clever layout, the property is completely move-in ready. Whether you are looking for a stylish pied-à-terre, your first home, or a charming apartment in the heart of Amsterdam's historic centre, this is a property where you simply unpack your belongings and start enjoying everything the city has to offer.
The building itself has also been exceptionally well maintained. Significant investments have been made in both maintenance and sustainability in recent years. The exterior was completely repainted in December 2023, while all zinc gutters, leadwork and rainwater drainage systems were renewed in 2022. The roof was replaced in 2016, and the entire building is fitted with monumental double glazing. In 2023, the property was legally divided into apartment rights, during which the foundation was assessed and classified as a concrete foundation with Foundation Classification II. Furthermore, heat pumps were installed in 2016, together with a completely renewed heating system.
An additional advantage of this apartment is the convenience offered by the Homeowners' Association (VvE). Utilities such as electricity, heating, hot and cold water, internet and window cleaning are centrally arranged through the VvE. A monthly advance payment of €88.89 is charged for these services. The apartment is equipped with individual utility meters, ensuring that each owner is billed annually based on actual consumption. In addition, the monthly contribution for the building's maintenance amounts to €192.99.
LAYOUT:
The apartment is accessed via the elegant entrance on the bel-etage, from where the staircase leads to the first floor.
Upon entering, the efficient and well-balanced layout immediately stands out. The bright living room with its open-plan kitchen forms the heart of the home. Large windows at the front allow an abundance of natural light to enter while offering magnificent views over the Keizersgracht. Every day, you can enjoy the unique atmosphere of Amsterdam's world-famous Canal Belt from the comfort of your own living room.
The modern open kitchen blends seamlessly into the living space and has been designed to make optimal use of every square metre.
The contemporary bathroom is centrally positioned within the apartment, while the bedroom is quietly situated at the rear of the property, creating a pleasant separation between the living and sleeping areas. Thanks to its smart layout, the apartment feels surprisingly spacious and offers everything needed for comfortable city living in the very heart of Amsterdam.
