Herengracht 485 – A Unique Canal House in the Iconic Golden Bend
Living in one of the most beautiful locations in Amsterdam becomes reality in this exceptionally charming and five-window-wide canal house on the prestigious Herengracht, situated in the heart of the highly sought-after Golden Bend. Directly opposite the Spiegelstraat, the property offers phenomenal views over the canal towards the Rijksmuseum – a view that never ceases to impress.
Over recent years, the property has been fully renovated with great attention to style and detail, seamlessly combining authentic period features with contemporary comfort. The house is equipped with an elevator, air conditioning, gas fireplaces, double glazing, and a high-end security system with cameras. A rare combination of character, luxury, and comfort in a truly prime location.
LAYOUT
Upon entering, the elegant marble entrance immediately stands out, featuring an authentic wooden spiral staircase and lift. The ground floor comprises an atmospheric canal-side room with a marble mantelpiece and characteristic beamed ceiling. With its kitchen, toilet, and provisions for a shower, this floor is ideally suited as a home office, guest suite, or au pair accommodation. From the kitchen, the basement can be accessed via a fixed staircase; a practical additional space ideal for storage or a wine cellar.
The first floor is undoubtedly the heart of the home. Large windows provide spectacular natural light and offer breathtaking views over the Herengracht, Spiegelgracht, and the Rijksmuseum. The spacious living room with fireplace and high ceilings exudes grandeur, while the semi-open kitchen with built-in appliances integrates seamlessly with the living space. A wooden floor extends throughout the entire level.
On the second floor, there are two comfortable bedrooms and a spacious bathroom fitted with a bathtub, shower, and toilet.
The third floor is arranged as a luxurious master suite spanning the full width of the property. The beautiful beamed ceiling adds additional character to the space. The en-suite bathroom features a freestanding bathtub, double washbasin, shower, and toilet. There is also ample built-in storage and a pantry on the landing.
The fourth floor offers another generous room extending across the full width of the house, featuring the original wooden flooring and authentic beams. This level also includes a complete bathroom with shower, washbasin, toilet, and washing machine connections.
The top floor is a surprisingly bright and atmospheric space thanks to two dormer windows at the front and roof windows at the rear. This floor also benefits from a roof terrace, a toilet, built-in wardrobes, and a central heating room.
ACCESSIBILITY AND SURROUNDINGS
The location is simply perfect. Herengracht 485 is situated in the very heart of Amsterdam’s historic centre, between Spiegelstraat and Vijzelstraat, within walking distance of Museumplein, the Nine Streets, and numerous renowned restaurants, galleries, and boutiques. The area exudes culture, history, and exclusivity.
Accessibility is excellent. Various tram and metro connections are nearby, including Vijzelgracht metro station on the North/South line, providing fast connections to Amsterdam Zuid and Schiphol Airport.
