A Spacious Ground-Floor Residence Unfolding Across Three Levels on a Quiet Stretch of the Singe

On a quiet stretch of the Singel, near the Blauwburgwal, lies this ground-floor residence of approximately 165 m², spread across three levels, with two bedrooms that each have their own bathroom and a generous multifunctional space in the basement. A distinguishing feature is the double-height living room on the canal side, where a ceiling height of almost five metres and tall windows create a rare sense of space and a sweeping view over the canal. The home has been renovated to a high standard with quality materials and forms part of an eighteenth-century national monument on freehold land, within walking distance of the Jordaan, the Haarlemmerstraat and Central Station.

Layout: The home is accessed via its own entrance on the ground floor, which opens into the living space with open-plan kitchen. On the canal side lies the living room, which extends over two floors to a ceiling height of 4.83 metres, where the tall windows in the front façade provide an abundance of natural light and views over the Singel. Adjoining this lies the kitchen, with a cooking island fitted with a sink and hob, and a wall of cabinetry that runs the full length of the wall and offers ample storage space.

Through double doors, the kitchen flows into the dining room, where four skylights provide natural light from above. From here, one reaches the rear of this floor, with a hallway housing the staircase to the basement, the first bedroom and an en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bath, walk-in shower and double washbasin. A separate toilet with hand basin adjoins the bathroom.

The staircase from the kitchen leads to the first floor, where the second bedroom is situated, overlooking the void above the living room. Here too is a private bathroom, fitted with a walk-in shower and a double washbasin, along with a separate toilet.

The basement is accessed via the staircase in the hallway and offers a generous multifunctional space, suitable as a second sitting room, study or hobby room. Thanks to its own entrance at the rear, this floor is also ideally suited as a practice space or, if desired, guest accommodation. A separate laundry room with space for a washing machine and dryer and an internal storage room complete this floor, giving the home an exceptional amount of storage space.
