LAYOUT
The attractive communal entrance of Den Groote Heer provides access to the building, with the lift taking you comfortably to the upper floors.

The entrance to the apartment opens into the hallway, from which the various rooms are accessed. A fixed staircase from the hallway leads to the mezzanine and continues up to the roof terrace.

At the heart of the apartment is the generous living and dining room. The exceptionally high ceiling and exposed roof structure give the room a distinctive character. The windows allow an abundance of natural light and offer wonderful views across the façades and rooftops of the surrounding historic buildings. It is precisely this combination of height, light and quintessential Amsterdam views that gives the living room its special atmosphere.

There is ample space for both a comfortable seating area and a large dining table. The pale wooden flooring provides a calm and elegant foundation throughout the space.

Adjoining the living room is the semi-open-plan kitchen. The kitchen is practically arranged and connects directly with the living and dining area. Next to the kitchen is a separate utility/storage room with connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer, as well as useful additional storage space.
A separate WC is also accessed from the hallway.

The generous bedroom is situated on the other side of the apartment and benefits from its own en-suite bathroom. Finished in marble, the bathroom features a bath, washbasin and separate shower. The warm tones of the marble contrast beautifully with the light and understated finish of the bedroom.

MEZZANINE
A fixed staircase from the hallway leads to the open mezzanine. Visually connected to the living room below, this space further emphasises the apartment’s exceptional ceiling height.
The mezzanine can be used in a variety of ways, for example as a quiet home office or occasional guest area. It therefore adds not only extra space, but also considerable flexibility to the apartment.
ROOF TERRACE

From the mezzanine, the staircase continues to the private roof terrace of approximately 19 sq m. This delightful outdoor space above the city offers ample room for both a dining table and a comfortable seating area.
Surrounded by Amsterdam’s characteristic rooftops, it is a wonderful place for al fresco dining, reading a book or simply enjoying the city at the end of the day. The terrace is a valuable extension of the apartment and makes living on this floor particularly special.

LOCATION

Herengracht 189 enjoys a superb central position within Amsterdam’s canal district, between Raadhuisstraat and Leliegracht. The Nine Streets and Jordaan are just around the corner, while Dam Square and Spui are also within easy walking distance. Virtually everything that makes central Amsterdam so appealing can therefore be found close at hand.

There is an excellent choice of cafés, restaurants and specialist shops in the immediate vicinity. In and around the Nine Streets are numerous places for coffee, lunch and dinner. Well-known restaurants such as Jansz. at Pulitzer Amsterdam, Restaurant Breda and Cecconi’s are within walking distance, while Screaming Beans, Bakkerij Wolf and Pluk are among the nearby options for coffee or lunch.

The location also has much to offer culturally. The Anne Frank House and Westerkerk are a short distance away, as is De Nieuwe Kerk on Dam Square. Noordermarkt, the Jordaan and the many smaller galleries in and around the Nine Streets are also easily reached on foot.

Everyday amenities are equally convenient, with a wide variety of specialist shops, retailers and services nearby, while the boutiques of the Nine Streets are practically on the doorstep.

Despite its exceptionally central location, this part of the Herengracht has a pleasant atmosphere. Once home, you are quite literally above the city, with views from the living room across Amsterdam’s historic rooftops and façades, while the private roof terrace provides a wonderful place to enjoy this unique setting outdoors.
