Access and Entrance
You enter the property via the central entrance and a quiet courtyard, accessible through a sheltered walkway along the canal. Here, you can safely park your bicycle. Take the elevator to the second floor to enter a spacious hallway with a wardrobe, a wall-mounted toilet with a washbasin, and access to all rooms.
Living Room
The living room is located directly on the canal and offers beautiful views of the water and historic buildings opposite. Thanks to its southwest orientation, the sun begins to shine into the room from around 4:00 p.m., as it does in both bedrooms. This results in a warm and inviting ambiance at the end of the day. The interior finish is sleek and stylish, featuring a continuous light wooden floor that enhances the apartment’s serene and harmonious feel.
Kitchen
The open kitchen is the heart of the home, luxuriously equipped with a cooking island and a wall unit.

The open layout allows for seamless integration of kitchen and living space – perfect for those who love cooking and entertaining.
Bedroom 1
A spacious and comfortable room with direct access to the sunny southwest-facing balcony. The master bedroom also offers access to a stylish en suite bathroom, finished in a modern and sleek style with a walk-in shower, sink, and elegant vanity unit.
The balcony lies directly along the water and offers fantastic canal views. Facing southwest, it captures sunlight from afternoon until evening – a perfect place to unwind while enjoying the view of rippling water and passing boats.
Bedroom 2
A bright and well-laid-out room, ideal as a guest room, office, or child’s bedroom. There is ample space for a double bed and wardrobe.
Second Bathroom
Located in the hallway, the second bathroom features a walk-in shower and washing machine connection.
Storage
The apartment includes a private storage unit on the ground floor.
Parking
This apartment does not come with a private parking space, as the current owner has sold it. However, residents are given priority when a spot becomes available. Updates about parking are shared in a residents' WhatsApp group, which also allows easy coordination for temporary use by guests.
