Keizersgracht 744

*English translation below*

Keizersgracht 744

On one of the most beautiful canals in Amsterdam, near the Amstel, on the quiet section between Reguliersgracht and Utrechtsestraat, is this beautiful monument of 380 m² with particularly deep south facing garden and idyllic garden house. The building dates from 1698, and got its final appearance around 1880 with the straight cornice with four consoles. It is likely that the garden house was also built during this renovation.
This unusual merchant's house has had many occupants since its inception. One particular occupant that is worth mentioning is cabaret artist Wim Sonneveld who lived in the house from October 1943 to January 1956.

This is the first time that the house has been occupied by a cabaret artist.
The house is currently divided into a double ground floor house, a mezzanine and a double upper floor house but lends itself very well for occupation as a single dwelling.

The double ground floor and the intermediate floor are in semi-casco state and need to be adapted to the requirements of modern times. The double upper house has recently been completely renovated whereby costs and effort have been saved in the layout and choice of materials.

Layout:

Entrance on the ground floor, porch with marble paneling and a beautiful door with etched window. The ceiling and wall of the hallway have ornaments and a marble floor of about 150 years old. The spacious and lazy staircase is situated at the back of the hallway. Due to the large etched windows, on each floor, the stairwell is very bright.

The hallway gives access to the basement, the original kitchen with intermediate room and the front room. In this charming kitchen there are still charming authentic cabinets and kitchen elements. From the kitchen there is access to the covered terrace and the deep (32 m), sunny garden, which is also accessible from the hallway. The room at the front has an internal staircase to the first floor. The spacious basement with central heating installation and boiler, is also ideal as a wine cellar.

The large garden (approx. 169 m²) is beautifully situated on the south allowing you to enjoy the sun at any time of day. At the back of the garden is a very charming garden house with double doors in the middle, under a high, richly decorated top. Behind the shed is a practical storage area for garden tools, etc.
On the first floor is a beautiful, wide room en suite with a conservatory at the rear. The ceilings in this room are exceptionally high. The back room has a beautiful original fireplace and the en suite doors and closets are still in original condition. At the front this room looks out over the Keizersgracht and the conservatory at the rear provides a nice view of the green courtyard. The high hallway on this floor is richly decorated with ornaments. The toilet at the rear still has a beautiful old fountain.

On the second floor is, again, a beautiful room and suite. Also in this room are the beautiful en suite cabinets and doors still present and you will find in the front room an original fireplace.

Arriving on the third floor, here is a beautifully renovated 2-storey apartment with roof terrace. With the recent renovation costs have been saved to create a very attractive and luxurious apartment.

The hallway has beautiful paneling and floor of Mutina herringbone tiles in brown gray shades. Right next to the entrance is a guest toilet. At the rear is the first, spacious bedroom. Here we also find the Mutina herringbone tiles on the floor. Both the authentic build-in wardrobes and the new cabinet wall offer plenty of storage space for clothes.

In the luxury bathroom we find a large bath, shower with 2 rain showers and associated hand showers. The beautiful washbasin with two stone sinks gives this bathroom extra atmosphere. All taps, including the heated towel rail, are from the brand Vola and the hanging lamps and fittings are from Buster & Punch.

At the front is the second, stylish bedroom. Also this bedroom has spacious built-in wardrobes. Separate toilet, a separate room for washer and dryer and an additional storage room under the stairs.

The beautiful glass sliding door of Rimadasio gives the possibility to close off the sleeping floor from the living space on the fourth floor. Here you will find a large, high, open space where immediately the beautiful beams of the roof structure stand out. At the front is a very cozy seating area with a special view over the canals of the Keizersgracht. The gas fireplace adds to the atmosphere. In the middle of the room is a large open kitchen with island. The kitchen has a brown marble top and frame and is equipped with all desired appliances. Also here the gas fire at height provides extra coziness. At the rear is the dining area with access to a nice and very sunny roof terrace, south facing. This floor is equipped with a dark, herringbone, oak flooring and an air conditioning system.

Surroundings:
The property is located on one of the most beautiful canals in Amsterdam on the section between the Reguliersgracht and the Utrechtsestraat, near the Amstel and Amstelveld. The Utrechtsestraat offers a wide variety of local shops, caterers, trendy cafes and restaurants. Famous in Amsterdam are of course Patisserie Kuyt and Slagerij de Leeuw.

Within walking distance of the property there is the Royal Theatre Carré, the Hermitage and the Stopera.
