Spotlight; Romance with a View, the very last piece of the Prinsengracht
Romance with a View
On the very last stretch of Prinsengracht, you look out of your window and you can see the Amstel. How Amsterdam do you want it to be? History and living on the water come together here. This apartment is located in a beautiful canal house on the third floor. The spacious and wide staircase is located in the middle, has a lot of grandeur, and is very easy to walk on.
The atmosphere of the apartment fits seamlessly with the look and feel of a canal house. Careful consideration has been given to the choice of colors, and the wooden paneling enhances the feeling. This part of Amsterdam feels like a small village. There are many high-quality shops and restaurants in the immediate vicinity. Attractive living in a beautiful location in the historic center of the city.

Architecture
In the17th century, the first Dutch architects returned from study trips to Italy. They were inspired by the formal language of classical antiquity and adapted it, with a sense of simplicity, to Dutch tastes and available building materials. The facades are reminiscent of temples, with columns, pilasters, moldings, and pediments, but the execution is more austere. More monumental. The classical ornaments were no longer spread across the entire facade, but limited to a few places. Prinsengracht 858 is a national monument, a house with an early 18th-century facade and an upper floor and straight cornice from the second half of the 19th century. The door frame dates from the late 18th century. The facade of this national monument looks like a 'normal' canal house, but its entrance and stairwell are spacious. A pleasant staircase in the middle of the building provides easy access to the third floor.
