Herengracht 157 E

1015BH Amsterdam, Leliegracht e.o.

Superb top floor apartment, light and bright, located on the most prestigious canal of Amsterdam in the city center. High-end finish and furnishing. Fantastic view of the city and canal, fire place, open modern white kitchen with built-in appliances and great dining area. Large bedroom, 2nd guest room in the attic. Spacious feel, with the beautiful beam structure visible. Separate storage room (for your bikes) on the ground floor.

LOCATION
The apartment is located on the quiet part of the Herengracht just around the corner of the Leliegracht with the famous Anne Frank House and the Westertoren just around the corner. From the apartment you can walk to the Dam square, the Jordan and the “nine streets” with all their lovely speciality shops, boutiques and hip restaurants and bars like “the Duchess” and the always popular “Luwte”. There is an abundance of bus and tramlines (i.e. 1, 2, 5, 13, 14 and 17) which have their tram stops just around the corner on the Westermarkt, Dam/Raadhuisstraat and Nieuwezijds Voorburgwal, and Central Station is also within walking distance.

LAYOUT
Completely renovated apartment with a personal touch, suburb finishing with luxurious appliances. The apartment has it’s own entrance on the 4th floor.

LIVING ROOM
The living room is at the front of the apartment and from the comfortable HAY sofa you have a wonderful view of the Herengracht Canal through the folding doors with the French balcony. When the weather is cooling down you probably want to light a fire in the fireplace, or watch a movie on the Philips TV which uses Ambi light AND Sonos Soundbar to create an unforgettable experience. The height of the ceiling (4 metres) is accentuated by the original 17th century beams which are all exposed and are the perfect background for the art piece “the Big Bubble” lamp from Alex de Witte. From the comfort of your sofa you use your tablet or phone app to control your music or warmth in the apartment.

KITCHEN
The Kitchen is designed for cooking enthusiasts. The sleek design but surprisingly luxurious kitchen has a built-in Quooker (which gives you instant boiling water straight from the tap), a white Corian countertop and the very innovative Bora induction cooker with integrated extractor. The built-in Siemens oven combines three functions; besides acting as a traditional oven it also serves as a microwave and a steam oven for all your healthy dishes. The built-in Siemens dishwasher and the Siemens washer/dryer help you minimize the time spent on house keeping. The refrigerator is surprisingly spacious and has a freezing compartment. Of course the kitchen is equipped with high-end induction pots and pans and you dine from Crate and Barrel tableware and sip your wine from Schott and Zweisel glassware.

DINING AREA
The tailor-made table easily sits 6 people. The built-in bench, with white leather cushions, and the ultra comfortable upholstered FLOW chairs from MDF Italia are a guarantee to have long evenings dining with your friends. Under the built-in bench there is a sea of storage space. The three large Velux windows can be fully opened on summer afternoons which gives you a “terrace” feeling in your own home.

MASTER BEDROOM
Spacious and light master bedroom at the quiet back of the house. The bed is from Royal Health Foam with a premium quality mattress and a state of the art slatted bed base, which is tailored to your individual needs, anti-allergic pillows and covers. The white crisp Egyptian cotton bed linen combined with the woollen duvets guarantee a comfortable night rest. The tailor-made shutters and the built-in closet build on the luxurious feel of the room. The master bedroom is outfitted with a free standing bathtub. This room is nothing short from a 5 star hotel room.

GUESTROOM
On the attic floor, which measures around 15 m2, you can easily sleep 2 or even 3 guests, but the space can also double for an alternative walk-in closet. The attic is closed by glass panels which have tailor-made curtains which can be used when extra privacy is needed (but are also easy to remove when you want an unobstructed view of the beam structure).

BATHROOM
The luxurious bathroom is equipped with a walk-in shower, design sink, tailor-made storage space and a mirror which is heated to avoid built-up steam when showering. The toilet is separate. There is a newly installed extractor system installed in bathroom and toilet. The toilet has a trendy Clou sink and a Kartell mirror.

STORAGE
On the ground floor there is a separate storage room of about 4 m2 where you can stall bicycles but also wood for the fire place.
