Keizersgracht 744

*English translation below*

Keizersgracht 744

On one of the most beautiful canals of Amsterdam, near the Amstel river, on the quiet part between Reguliersgracht and Utrechtsestraat, you will find this beautiful State monument of 380 m² with particularly deep south-facing garden and an idyllic garden house. The property dates from 1698, and received its final appearance with the straight cornice with four consoles around c. 1880. Presumably the garden house was also built during this renovation.

This particular merchant's house has had many occupants since its foundation. One special resident worth mentioning is cabaret artist Wim Sonneveld who inhabited the house from October 1943 to January 1956.

The house is currently divided into a double lower house, a mezzanine and a double upper house, but lends itself perfectly to occupation as a single dwelling house.

The double downstairs house and the mezzanine are in semi-casco condition and need to be brought up to modern standards. The double upper house has recently been completely renovated, with no expense spared in terms of layout and choice of materials.

Layout:

Entrance on the ground floor, draft porch fitted with marble panelling and a beautiful door with etched window. The ceiling and wall of the hallway have ornaments and a marble floor of about 150 years old. The spacious and lazy staircase is at the back of the corridor. The large etched windows, on each floor, make the stairwell very bright.

The corridor gives access to the basement, the original kitchen with intermediate room and the front room. In this charming kitchen there are still attractive authentic cupboards and kitchen elements. From the kitchen is access to the covered terrace and the deep (32 m), sunny garden, also accessible from the corridor. The room at the front has an internal staircase to the first floor. The spacious cellar with central heating system and boiler, is also ideal as a wine cellar.

The large garden (approx. 169 m²) is beautifully south-facing so there is opportunity to enjoy the sun at any time of day. At the back of the garden is a very charming garden house with double doors in the middle, under a high, richly decorated top. Behind the garden house is another practical shed for garden tools, among other things.

On the first floor is a beautiful, wide room en suite with a conservatory at the back. The ceilings in this room are exceptionally high. The back room has a beautiful, original fireplace and the en suite doors and cupboards are also still in original condition. At the front, this room has a lovely view over the Keizersgracht and the conservatory at the back offers a nice view of the green courtyard garden. The high corridor on this floor is richly ornamented. The toilet at the back still has a beautiful old fountain.

On the second floor is, again, a beautiful room en suite. Also in this room, the beautiful en suite cupboards and doors are still present and you will find an original fireplace in the front room.

Arriving on the third floor, here is a beautifully converted 2-storey flat with roof terrace. During the recent renovation, no expense was spared to create a very attractive and luxurious flat.

The hallway has beautiful panelling and floor of Mutina herringbone tiles in brown-grey shades. Right next to the entrance is a guest toilet. At the rear is the first, generous bedroom. Here, too, we find Mutina herringbone tiles on the floor. Both the authentic built-in cupboards and the new wardrobe wall provide ample storage space for clothes.

In the luxurious bathroom we find a large bathtub, walk-in shower with 2 rain showers and matching hand showers. The beautiful washbasin with two natural stone sinks adds to the ambience of this bathroom. All taps, including the heated towel rail, are by the Vola brand and the pendant lights and fittings are by Buster & Punch.

At the front is the second, stylish bedroom. This bedroom also has spacious built-in wardrobes. Separate toilet, a separate room for washer and dryer and additional storage under the stairs.

The beautiful glass sliding door by Rimadasio allows you to separate the bedroom floor from the living space on the fourth floor. Here you will find one large, high, open space where the beautiful beams of the roof construction immediately catch the eye. At the front is a very cosy sitting area with a special view over the Keizersgracht canal houses. The gas fireplace adds to the atmosphere. In the centre of the room is a large open kitchen with an island. The kitchen has a brown marble top and frame and is equipped with all desirable built-in appliances. Here, too, the high-ceilinged gas fireplace provides extra cosiness. At the rear is the dining area with adjacent access to a nice and very sunny roof terrace, facing south. This floor has dark, herringbone, oak flooring and an air-conditioning system.

Surroundings:
The property is located on one of Amsterdam's most beautiful canals on the section between Reguliersgracht and Utrechtsestraat, near Amstel and Amstelveld. Utrechtsestraat offers a wide variety of local shops, caterers, trendy cafés and restaurants. Famous in Amsterdam are, of course, Patisserie Kuyt and butcher's shop de Leeuw.

The Royal Theatre Carré, the Hermitage and the Stopera, among others, are within walking distance of the property.

Accessibility by public transport is excellent. Within short walking distance, at the Utrechtsestraat, is the tram stop for line 4 and a little further down, at the Vijzelgracht, is the tram stop for line 24. Both Central Station and the Pijp/South area can therefore be reached within minutes. Via various access roads from the A10 ring road, the property is easily accessible by private transport.
