Bright Penthouse With A Lovely Roof Terrace On The Kerkstraat In The Heart Of The Canal Belt

Bright penthouse of approximately 104 m² with three well-sized bedrooms, two bathrooms and a lovely roof terrace, set in a beautiful location on the Kerkstraat – between the Keizersgracht and the Prinsengracht.

The apartment is spread over the upper floors of a distinctive listed building and was part of a high-quality renovation and transformation in 2020. The property is characterised by its pleasant natural light, a practical layout and fine views over the historic city centre. Notably, despite the listed status of the building, the property has energy label A and is located on freehold land.

Lay-out: The stately communal entrance and monumental staircase lead to the first floor, where the entrance to the apartment is located. An internal staircase leads to the second floor.

This floor comprises three well-sized bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom is situated at the quiet rear, with a large window and fine views over the green inner gardens and the rear façades of the canal houses on the Keizersgracht. The room features a freestanding bath, vanity unit, separate walk-in shower, toilet and bespoke built-in wardrobes. The two other bedrooms are located at the front, one of which has a built-in wardrobe. The second bathroom is centrally located on this floor and features a vanity unit, walk-in shower and connections for a washing machine and dryer. There is also a separate toilet.

The internal staircase continues to the third and top floor, where the bright living area with open kitchen and cooking island is situated. The full-width dormer at the rear provides plenty of natural light, and a bespoke built-in cupboard runs along the entire width.

From the living area, a spiral staircase leads to the roof terrace, a lovely sheltered spot with plenty of privacy and fine views over Amsterdam’s city centre.
