Herengracht 40-C

On the second floor of an eighteenth-century national monument on the Herengracht, this apartment is approximately 160 m², laid out entirely on one level, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a west-facing balcony. The apartment stands out for its façade width of approximately 13 metres with five windows overlooking the canal, a ceiling height of 3.40 metres, and daylight entering from three sides, a combination that creates a rare sense of space. It is reached directly by a glass lift and is set on freehold land. It is situated on an exceptional stretch of the Herengracht, with the Jordaan, the Nine Streets, and Central Station all within walking distance.

Layout:

The apartment is entered directly from the lift through its own front door on the second floor, which opens directly into the kitchen and dining room areas. There is also a separate entrance from the building's central staircase into a spacious hall with four built-in cupboards. From both entrances, you reach the living room on the canal side. With a width of almost eight metres, a ceiling height of 3.40 metres, and three tall windows overlooking the Herengracht, it shows the building's grandeur to full effect. A fireplace and built-in cupboards and shelving along the side wall complete the room, while the open connection to the centrally located kitchen creates an uninterrupted sightline from the canal through to the rear façade.

The kitchen has a wall of tall built-in units, a cooking area opposite, and at the rear it flows into the dining room. This bright room has one set of French doors which open onto the west-facing balcony, giving it afternoon and evening sun. On the canal side, next to the living room, is a study and/or second bedroom. With a width of over four metres and two windows overlooking the Herengracht, it is generously proportioned. The main bedroom is in the centre of the apartment, with an en-suite bathroom, complete with a freestanding bath, a shower, double washbasins, and a toilet. The bedroom also has its own walk-in wardrobe, and a window in the side façade. The second bathroom, accessible from the hall, has a shower, toilet, and washbasin.

A private storage room on the ground floor completes the apartment.
