Keizersgracht 568B

Monumental canal-side living — light, space, views and character

Set in an exceptional location directly on the Keizersgracht, in the heart of Amsterdam's historic Canal Belt, this characterful 89.90 m² apartment occupies the first floor above the raised ground floor (bel-etage) of a monumental canal house dating from 1695.

The property brings together virtually everything that makes Amsterdam canal-side living so distinctive: high ceilings, a living room spanning three windows across the canal-facing façade, large windows extending almost to floor level, marble floors with underfloor heating, a working wood-burning fireplace and beautiful wide views across the Keizersgracht.

The apartment is ready for immediate occupation while at the same time offering considerable scope for a buyer wishing to create a highly individual home in this exceptional setting.

Three windows wide overlooking the Keizersgracht

The generous living room forms the centrepiece of the apartment. The canal-facing side of the property spans an impressive three large windows. Extending almost to floor level, these windows allow an abundance of natural light to enter the room. Combined with the high ceilings, they create an exceptional sense of height, space and openness.

As the apartment is situated on the first floor above the raised ground floor, the living room occupies an attractive elevated position above the canal. From the three large windows, there are beautiful wide views across the water, the trees lining the Keizersgracht and the historic canal houses opposite. It is an unmistakably Amsterdam view.

The marble floors with underfloor heating enhance the character of the interior while providing comfortable and evenly distributed warmth. A working wood-burning fireplace creates an atmospheric focal point within the living room.

A monumental canal house dating from 1695

The apartment forms part of a monumental former merchant's house dating from 1695 and is therefore quite literally part of the architectural history of Amsterdam's Canal Belt. Its historic architecture, high ceilings and generous windows provide the proportions and character associated with Amsterdam's finest historic canal houses.

The property further comprises a generous bedroom positioned on the quieter side of the apartment and fitted with double glazing, as well as a bathroom and separate guest toilet. According to the available NEN 2580 measurement certificate, the apartment provides 89.90 m² of residential floor area and a net volume of 244.52 m³.

Ready to move into with exceptional potential

The apartment is ready for immediate occupation and already provides a strong and characterful foundation. At the same time, it offers considerable freedom for a buyer wishing to further personalise the interior according to their own taste, style and standards.

The defining qualities are already present and are virtually impossible to recreate: the Keizersgracht location, monumental character, high ceilings, three-window-wide canal frontage, almost floor-to-ceiling windows, marble floors with underfloor heating and beautiful canal views. With a personal approach to layout, materials, bespoke joinery, lighting and interior design, the apartment offers the opportunity to create a truly exceptional Amsterdam canal residence.

A home that can be enjoyed immediately, while offering all the freedom to make it entirely your own.

One of Amsterdam's finest locations

The Keizersgracht is one of Amsterdam's most prestigious and characteristic residential locations. The historic Canal Belt forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the city's most internationally recognisable settings.

The location is exceptionally central. The Nine Streets, Jordaan and Leidseplein are all within easy reach, together with an extensive selection of restaurants, cafés, boutiques, specialist shops and galleries. Museumplein, home to the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Stedelijk Museum, is also easily accessible.

This is central Amsterdam at its best: the city immediately outside the door while, from the privacy of the living room, the view encompasses precisely what Amsterdam is famous for around the world: the canal, water, trees and monumental architecture.
