BLOEMGRACHT 164-2
A grand canal residence of approx. 200 m² with balcony and roof terrace
Bathed in sunlight along one of Amsterdam’s most beautiful canals, this exceptional apartment of approximately 200 m² (NEN2580) unfolds across four elegant floors, complete with a balcony and private roof terrace.
Occupying the entire front section of the building — three windows wide overlooking the canal — the home enjoys spectacular natural light throughout the day and uninterrupted views across the water.
The historic property consists of a traditional front house with four levels and a rear house, and was thoughtfully divided into two apartments following a major renovation in 1986. Apartment II encompasses the sun-drenched side of the first floor and the entire second, third and fourth floors, together offering approximately 200 m² of refined living space.
Here, historic canal-house charm meets contemporary comfort. A full renovation carried out several years ago introduced high-quality finishes and bespoke built-in cabinetry throughout. The interior aesthetic is distinctly modern, with subtle Marcel Wanders–esque design influences that bring personality and sophistication to the space.
L A Y O U T
Entrance | The building welcomes you through a shared marble entrance, where an impressive 18th-century hand-carved door immediately sets the tone. Historic craftsmanship and stately materials give the arrival a cinematic quality.
First Floor | Studio
The first floor opens to a bright hallway with generous wardrobe space.
A spacious room, currently used as a home office, features elegant custom cabinetry. With its walk-in shower and sink, this level lends itself perfectly to use as a guest suite, studio, or independent workspace.
Second Floor | Living
Ascending the staircase, the main living floor unfolds. A hall with guest toilet leads into the generous living area. At the front of the apartment, the three large windows overlooking the canal allow daylight to pour inside, making the water view an ever-present element of the interior. A refined herringbone parquet floor anchors the space, flowing seamlessly into the dining area and open kitchen. At the rear, the balcony offers a tranquil setting to enjoy the evening sun and unwind in complete serenity.
Third Floor | Bedrooms
Thanks to the open void from the level above, the landing is bathed in natural light. This floor accommodates two generously sized rooms. The primary bedroom (approx. 21 m²) is quietly positioned at the rear and features air conditioning and extensive built-in wardrobes. Adjacent to the bedroom is the centrally located bathroom, elegantly finished and equipped with a double walk-in shower, double vanity, and toilet. At the front of the apartment, the second room offers great flexibility and can easily function as a bedroom, study, or dressing room. For added convenience, a separate toilet is also located on this floor.
Fourth Floor | Bedroom & Roof Terrace
The staircase within the void leads to the top floor. At the front lies a spacious bedroom of approximately 14 m², where a glass wall overlooking the void creates a light and airy atmosphere. This can easily be closed off if additional privacy is desired.
At the rear you’ll find the technical / laundry room and the west-facing roof terrace (approx. 8 m²) — a perfect spot to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun.
L O C A T I O N
Situated on the Bloemgracht, one of the most beloved canals in the Jordaan, this home places you in one of Amsterdam’s most picturesque settings. The canal exudes history and charm, framed by elegant facades and gently flowing water.
