Situated within the historic building De Witte Keizer, on one of the most picturesque curves of the Keizersgracht, this exceptional apartment spans approx. 120 m² and includes a generous southwest-facing rooftop terrace of approx. 44 m². The apartment occupies two floors within a beautifully restored 18th-century national monument and effortlessly combines period charm with contemporary comfort.
Original windows, high ceilings, and refined finishes create a unique blend of heritage and modern design, complete with panoramic views of the city from the roofterrace.
The main living floor, located on the second level, opens into a spacious hallway leading to the elegant lounge at the front. Ceilings over three metres high, classic wooden shutters, and expansive windows fill the space with natural light and grandeur. Overlooking the beautiful courtyard gardens of the canal block, the living room can be subtly divided from the kitchen area with original panelled doors. Wide oak floorboards and bespoke steel-framed doors add to the high-end finish throughout.
To the rear is the dining area and open-plan kitchen, executed in calm, earthy tones and centred around a generous island with a breakfast bar. The sleek, minimalist design by studio Molteni Dada is fitted with top-of-the-line Gaggenau appliances, subtly integrated to ensure clean lines and functionality. An attic area next to the kitchen offers extra storage space, alongside a designated laundry area with washer and dryer connections. A separate toilet is located off the central landing, while a large skylight above the staircase enhances the space with additional daylight.
The third floor is accessible via a fixed staircase and features two bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom one equipped with a walk-in shower; the other one with a bath tub. Both bedrooms open directly onto the spacious rooftop terrace, bathed in sun from the southwest and offering sweeping views towards the Rijksmuseum. This floor is also equipped with air conditioning for added comfort.
A spacious private storage unit and communal bike parking are located in the basement, and the apartment is accessible by lift.
