Monumental Canal House Singel, Amsterdam - For Rent

This monumental canal house, dating back to 1712, is situated on freehold land along the Singel canal in the heart of Amsterdam's historic canal belt. With a living area of approximately 251 m² and a gross floor area of around 320 m², the property offers an exceptional amount of space across multiple floors. The house features six bedrooms, two bathrooms, three toilets, a balcony, and a small roof terrace. Its stately yet warm atmosphere is defined by high ceilings, classic proportions, and authentic details throughout. The property is available for temporary rental under the Dutch Vacant Property Act, with a rental period of a minimum of six months and a maximum of twelve months.

The bel étage forms the heart of the home, featuring a beautiful living room of approximately 12.5 metres long with plenty of natural light and sweeping views over the Singel canal. A decorative fireplace and the water views create a classic Amsterdam canal house ambiance. In the souterrain level, there is a generous entrance hall, a dining area, and an open kitchen, with additional storage space and a separate toilet at the rear. The first floor offers two spacious bedrooms, one at the rear with an en suite bathroom and one at the front overlooking the canal. The second floor provides two additional bedrooms, including an atmospheric room with views over the Singel and exposed wooden beams, as well as a second bathroom with toilet, washbasin, and walk-in shower.

On the third floor there is a cosy bedroom with access to a balcony of approximately 3.5 m². The fourth floor offers a sixth bedroom, accessible via the bedroom below. Several bedrooms are fitted with air conditioning, further enhancing the overall comfort of the home. The current furniture will be removed, and the owner will install new furniture, with the exact furnishing to be agreed in consultation with the tenant. This allows the property to be offered in a comfortable, stylish, and appropriately furnished condition, tailored where possible to the tenant's wishes.

The location is truly exceptional, situated directly on the Singel canal within the UNESCO-listed canal belt. Cafés, restaurants, shops, boutiques, cultural venues, and everyday amenities are all within walking distance, and public transport connections are excellent, making the rest of Amsterdam easy to reach. Living in the Grachtengordel offers the grandeur, tranquillity, and space of an entire historic canal house while being in the very centre of the city. The property holds an energy label of C and is also offered for sale, but is available for temporary rental for those seeking a spacious, stylish, and centrally located home for a fixed period of time.
