Imagine living in this beautiful corner property with four floors and a sunny roof terrace. This townhouse is surrounded by canals on two sides. One side is even directly located on the water. From the basement kitchen, you can step straight into your boat via the French balcony.

Whether you enjoy peace and quiet, water, architecture or city life, it all comes together in this property. Step into a piece of Amsterdam history on one of the city's most beautiful canals.

Herengracht 395 offers a rare opportunity to live and work in a characteristic building with allure, comfort, and at an unparalleled location.

This beautiful house, situated on the corner of the Beulingsloot canal, was designed by the same

architects who designed the Carré Theater (J. Van Rossem and W.J. Vuyk). The 19th-century building features a stepped gable in the Neo-Renaissance style with large top pilasters, string courses, and blocks, and a polygonal turret with a spire and decorative border on the corner. The corner turret has its own entrance and a stoop with bluestone steps.

This location, on the Herengracht, between Wijde Heijsteeg and Koningsplein, offers expansive views.

It is a unique and charming corner property, built in 1880. It’s currently available for rent in its entirety, the house will be leased with floors and curtains included. It offers 144 sqm of living area

(NEN measurement), spread out over four floors, and it includes a roof terrace. The excellent layout makes it a delightful, welcoming home. The favorable sun exposure makes all floors bright and inviting.

This section of Herengracht is quietly situated, yet only a stone's throw away from the famous ‘9-

Straatjes’ area with lots of boutique clothing shops. Furthermore, all the entertainment that the inner city of Amsterdam has to offer is only a few minutes away by bike or on foot. To name a few examples of nearby options; the International Theater Amsterdam, the De la Mar theater, Paradiso concert hall and many other (film) theaters. In addition the Vondelpark, main street and boutique shopping options as well as high-quality restaurants are all also at your doorstep.
