A large, beautifully and authentically renovated basement apartment on the lower level of a canal house on the Herengracht, right in the historic heart of the city with everything you need.
Everything you could wish for is close at hand with this recently, fully renovated basement apartment: a lovely, quiet spot, plenty of places to go out, shops, a supermarket, a city park, a bike rental — all within walking distance.
Basement apartment, Herengracht 36, established 1716
An old natural stone staircase leads down to the front door of the charming basement apartment.
Upon entering, a spacious, authentic hallway leads to the living room.
The bright, charming living room sits at the centre of the basement apartment, with an authentic beamed ceiling featuring a large skylight. From the living room you have a beautiful view of the garden, with doors and windows featuring original glazing bars.
The open kitchen adjoins the living room, with a vaulted stone masonry arch dating from 1911.
Spacious kitchen-diner, with a new kitchen fitted with a dishwasher and combi microwave. Stone masonry arches, one of which features newly installed, half-round interior doors that can be closed off towards the bedroom.
Adjoining the living room is a garden room with a door to the sunny terrace, catching afternoon and evening sun, bordering a picturesque city garden with plenty of privacy and quiet.
At the front is a large, bright bedroom (master bedroom) with a unique, original low beamed ceiling from 1710 — where you might occasionally have to duck a little, as if time has briefly stood still — with light coming in from the front of the Herengracht.
The new bathroom is fitted with a toilet, a vanity unit and a spacious shower.
Both bedrooms adjoin the kitchen-diner: the front bedroom on the left, and the bedroom next to the garden room on the right.
