Nicolaas Witsenkade 30-B

Tucked away behind a monumental brick façade embellished with natural stone inlays and decorative ornaments, this exceptional double ground-floor apartment of 191 m² is located on the historic Nicolaas Witsenkade. Once home to the former PvdA headquarters ‘De Roode Roos’, the property was transformed into residential apartments at the end of the 19th century by architect Richard Groenendaal. The building reflects the distinctive features of the Neo style, drawing inspiration from classicism, Gothic, and Renaissance architecture. With high ceilings, expansive windows, and a solid oak entrance door, the property exudes character. The south and west-facing façades flood the interiors with natural light from early afternoon until sunset. A home with history, charm, and an extraordinary sense of space and tranquillity in the heart of the city.

Layout: The apartment is spread across the elevated ground floor and the lower ground floor. The architect-designed apartment is connected by a spacious hallway that links the various living, working, and entertaining areas. The hallway provides access to a home office, living and garden rooms, guest toilet, a first bathroom, and a separate laundry space.

At the front of the apartment, the grand living room features over four metres of ceiling height, a stylish gas fireplace, and five tall windows offering sweeping views over the Singelgracht – an exceptionally bright and elegant space full of charm. The impressive ceiling height continues throughout the entire bel-etage, enhancing the sense of space and grandeur.At the rear of the apartment, is the current office, which can be easily converted into a third bedroom. French doors from both the rear living room and the office open directly onto a beautifully landscaped garden of approx. 44 m², ideally positioned to the north-east for gentle morning sun.

Downstairs, the lower level hosts two spacious bedrooms, one of which includes a walk-in wardrobe. The luxurious bathroom features an original terrazzo floor, a bath, and a walk-in shower. Throughout this level, warm walnut-toned flooring adds to the sophisticated finish. Underfloor heating and a generous storage room ensure maximum comfort and functionality.
