At number 6 you will find an impressive canal house dating from 1880, part of a monumental row of façades and located in one of the most sought-after parts of the city. With a living area of approximately 382 m², spread over a basement, bel étage and four residential floors, this property offers a unique opportunity to create a spacious canal residence in the center of Amsterdam.

Layout

This stately canal house on the Herengracht is divided over a basement, bel étage, and four full residential floors. The property breathes history, with a classic entrance, marble hallway, and an elegant staircase that connects all levels.

Each floor has spacious rooms with high ceilings, original ornaments, and paneled doors. Large windows at both the front and rear provide abundant natural light and offer characteristic views: at the front over the Herengracht and from the upper floors towards the Koepelkerk. Features such as marble fireplaces, decorative ceiling moldings, and built-in cupboards have been preserved on various levels, maintaining the authentic atmosphere.

The current layout is flexible and offers ample possibilities for a new owner. It is conceivable to arrange the floors separately as individual living areas or to divide the property into several independent apartments. A combination of living and working is also very feasible: the lower floors are ideally suited for an office or practice, while the upper floors offer peace and privacy.

This property therefore offers a unique opportunity to design an entire canal house entirely to your own wishes, where living and working can be effortlessly combined. The historical charm combined with the open layout makes it a rare property in one of Amsterdam’s most desirable locations.
