When it comes to Amsterdam real estate, there’s nowhere more sought after than a house within De 9 Straatjes – the nine streets connecting the city’s picturesque canals.

Lined with boutique stores, restaurants and beautiful historic homes, Prinsengracht is one of the prettiest stretches of the canal, and this property spans five floors, culminating with a peaceful roof terrace.

The 1841 building is currently divided into three units that can be inhabited (or rented out) independently and has undergone a top-to-toe remodel, with sophisticated and eclectic interiors that mix antique materials and new finishes from across the globe. A grand marble foyer leads into the residence, while a first-floor elevator connects the upper reaches of the house.

Starting at the bottom, the lower-level three-bedroom apartment has its kitchen and dining area on the canal, while rooms have towering five-metre-high ceilings and oak flooring. In the living room, a gas fireplace with period mantelpiece nods to the building’s past, while the kitchen has been completely upgraded for the 21st century with filtered and boiling water taps, a wine cabinet, steam oven, plate warmers and SubZero and Wolff appliances.

The second-floor two-bedroom apartment mirrors the high-end finishes of the lower unit but includes a rear balcony. Its kitchen is centred around a large island with integrated appliances, while reclaimed wooden floors from a French chateau add warmth. The top-floor unit, similar in layout, forgoes a balcony but offers far-reaching views.

In total, living areas (minus balconies, the terrace and patio) encompass 479 sq m with 11 rooms in total. De La Haye Real Estate Agency is listing the Amsterdam property for €7.5m kk. See more.
