Kerkstraat 5

DESCRIPTION

‘A truly unique and attractively finished property with a rich history and intimate atmosphere in Amsterdam’s canal belt’

Monumental and radiant, fully renovated property in the vibrant heart of Amsterdam’s inner city. A one of a kind property of no less than four floors at the beginning of the Kerkstraat. This enchanting residence offers a boutique hotel-like tranquility and luxury with the possibility of being right in the middle of the city’s vibrancy after the front door. The surrounding properties also have great architectural value and emphasize the original Amsterdam atmosphere. Amsterdam’s ring of canals is not on the Unesco World Heritage List for nothing.

DEscriptION

First floor
After the characteristic entrance, accessible by means of the natural stone staircase outside, follows the modern living kitchen where the connection with the front Kerkstraat is pleasant and yet private. The open, luxury kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances including a dishwasher, a Gaggenau oven, 4-burner gas hob and an extractor hood. The beautiful finish and high-quality materials are characteristic of the entire house and are used more often to emphasize the exclusive atmosphere.

Second floor
The living floor is located on the second floor. Here functional use of space has been made by creating a spacious television corner. The many windows let in pleasant amounts of light and provide fascinating views of the buildings opposite, the Kerkstraat downstairs and the Leidsegracht. Here the good finishing deployed on the first floor have been continued. This creates unity and tranquility in the interior. For example, here too there is a high-quality wooden floor and the lighting has been well thought out.

Second floor
The second floor is again very surprising and features a spacious bedroom and a separate bathroom. The beautiful bedroom has an additional skylight that lets in pleasant daylight. Neutral tones with a rich mix of materials create a chic whole and continue the atmospheric accent of the lower floors. The bathroom features a shower, a sink with a modern cabinet and a toilet.

Lower floor
The extra surprise of this property lies in the basement which is accessible from the hall as well as through a private entrance door from the street. Here a second bedroom or a workspace / home office belongs to the possibilities. Downstairs there is a second toilet, the central heating system (Nefit) and washing machine connection. The lower floor is fully equiped with floor heating and is a perfect extra space with a comfortable feel.
