Herengracht 14 B

*** English text below***

On one of the most beautiful canals, around the corner from the Brouwersgracht, the Jordaan and Central Station is the beautiful monumental building "De Sonneblom" (1614) with its stately, classicistic sandstone facade (1768). The building, with its renewed foundation, stands out in the facade on the canal, due to its extra width and height. In the wooden pediment, above two palm leaves, a sunflower appears as an allusion to the centuries-old name. On the garden side of the building is the bright, with an eye for detail renovated apartment of 179m2 with patio and garden, northwest oriented, of about 26 meters deep including a gazebo. The apartment, which is located on bel-etage and souterrain, has a spacious high style room, a large kitchen with access to the garden and patio, two bedrooms with bathroom en suite and a separate toilet.

Layout
The hardstone staircase leads you to the monumental front door on the first floor. Behind it is a classic entrance with a marble floor and paneling. The walls and the approximately 4 meter high ceiling are decorated with original eighteenth-century mouldings and ornaments (Louis XV style) with chandelier. This common hall gives access to the stylish and bright apartment on the garden side of the property. In this hall is also an additional access to the bicycle storage and the basement. The apartment is, after an earlier renovation, brought back to a bright layout with a stylish finish by applying carefully chosen materials.
Striking upon entering is the daylight, which enters the hallway through the patio and the window from the style room on the garden side. The bedroom adjacent to the hall and the patio, has a shower and toilet en suite with above the possibility for storage. The attractive high wooden double doors and wooden floor are from Piet Jonker.

Through a few steps you reach the style room. Three impressive windows in the style room offer a beautiful view of the landscaped garden. The showpiece of the period room is the marble fireplace with built-in bookcases on either side. The ornamented ceiling and walls together with the original wooden floor complete this eighteenth century room. The period room gives access through French doors to a flat in the patio. There is also an adjoining deep storage room where the central heating system is located.
A modern wooden staircase takes you to the basement where the spacious kitchen is located with two large windows and patio doors to the garden. Under the sliding windows is a bench created with heating underneath, a nice place overlooking the beautiful garden. The kitchen can be completed in existing style by using wooden paneling or can be designed to your own liking. On the floor are two hundred year old French tiles with underfloor heating. Through the adjacent storage room there is an access to the patio.
The separate toilet under the stairs to the basement has a porcelain toilet bowl with decoration painted in blue.

The master bedroom is equipped with a spacious wardrobe. Herein is a blind access to the storage room in the basement, with the bicycle storage and the meter cupboard. The bathroom en suite is located in the patio and receives natural light through two skylights and a window that can be opened. This room is completely finished in a sand-colored concrete ciré with underfloor heating. An original designed washbasin with a concrete double sink with built-in wall taps, toilet and a shower separated by a glass wall with a built-in rain shower complete the space.

The classical French landscape style garden exudes serenity and tranquility; an oasis of calm in the dynamics of the canal belt. The garden is part of the Amsterdamse keurtuinen which has ensured that the cultural-historical value has always been preserved. In addition to the flowering and hardy plantings, there are two well-maintained tall red beech trees at the far end of the plot that offer a lot of privacy. There are several seating areas created at different times of day to enjoy the sun. The wooden garden house can be used as storage or transformed into a full guest room.
