Exclusive Canal Residence with Family Character
On Amsterdam’s prestigious Herengracht, in the renowned Golden Bend, stands this remarkable national monument: a stately canal house measuring 614 m² across six floors. A residence that blends centuries of history with contemporary luxury. What makes it truly unique is that, despite its grandeur, it is above all a warm and versatile family home—complete with a spacious city garden and rare private swimming pond.
A warm welcome
The entrance immediately impresses with soaring ceilings, marble floors, and a grand staircase. Yet despite its stately character, the house feels inviting from the very first moment.
The ground floor has its own entrance, making it ideal as a home office or self-contained space for an au pair. Currently, it features a cozy sitting room with fireplace and pool table—a place for relaxation, play, and gathering. From here, doors open directly into the lush garden, an extraordinary extension of city living.
The Piano Nobile
The first floor is the piano nobile, traditionally the showpiece of canal houses. The formal living room, with high windows overlooking the Herengracht, is bathed in natural light. A chandelier and classic fireplace add timeless elegance.
Next to it lies the dining room, designed for long dinners with family and friends. The adjoining kitchen, with its central island and high-end appliances, is both functional and stylish—perfect for passionate cooks and gracious hosts.
Inspiring Living and Working Spaces
The second floor offers quiet and inspiration. A generous study overlooks the garden, while an elegant sitting room with fireplace and herringbone parquet invites relaxation. The thoughtful layout allows both togetherness and privacy, exactly what modern family life requires.
Luxurious Private Suites
The third floor is dedicated to rest. The master suite features canal views and an ensuite bathroom reminiscent of a spa, with a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, and natural wood accents. A second bathroom, with turquoise mosaics and glass details, creates a fresh and modern contrast. A long hallway with built-in wardrobes connects the bedrooms.
Loft and Guest Quarters
The fourth floor has a light, loft-like feel with exposed beams and a minimalist bathroom. It can serve as lounge, studio, or guest apartment. The fifth floor adds two more bright bedrooms, each with its own bathroom—offering privacy for guests or older children.
An Urban Oasis
A true rarity in Amsterdam: a beautifully landscaped garden with terrace and swimming pond. Hidden from view, it provides complete privacy and a serene retreat in the heart of the city—perfect for dining, swimming, or unwinding.
Location
Herengracht 529 is just steps from the Rijksmuseum, the Anne Frank House, exclusive boutiques, and culinary hotspots. Living in the Golden Bend means residing in one of Europe’s most prestigious neighborhoods, where history, culture, and contemporary city life meet.

Exclusive Canal Residence with Family Character

A generous family home with three full residential floors, a basement, and a sunny, deep south-facing garden.
Some homes convince instantly—not through excess, but through the natural harmony of space, light, and proportion. On De Lairessestraat stands such a home. Behind its characteristic façade unfolds a residence that is considerably larger than one might expect at first glance. With approximately 309 m² of living space spread across three full floors, the combination of ceiling height, width, and depth creates an exceptionally spacious and comfortable living environment.
De Lairessestraat is one of the most desirable avenues in Amsterdam Zuid: wide, tree-lined, and defined by a calm, elegant atmosphere. Vondelpark, Museumplein, and the Concertgebouw are all within walking distance. Cornelis Schuytstraat, Van Baerlestraat, and Beethovenstraat offer a wide range of shops, boutiques, and restaurants. Both national and international schools are easily accessible, as are main roads leading to the Zuidas and Schiphol. The location offers a rare balance between vibrancy and tranquility—everything close at hand, yet the home itself feels private and serene.
The ground floor welcomes you with a spacious entrance hall, offering ample room for coats and daily use. From here, the living area unfolds, where height, light, and sightlines come together beautifully. Ceilings of approximately 3.43 meters enhance the sense of space, while large windows bring in abundant daylight. The sitting room at the front and dining room at the rear are connected yet can be separated by original folding doors, allowing flexibility between open living and more intimate settings. The kitchen adjoins the dining area and opens directly onto the garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection.
The first floor serves as a private retreat. At the rear, the primary bedroom overlooks the garden and features a French balcony and en-suite bathroom. A second spacious room at the front is ideal as a study, guest room, or additional bedroom. A third bedroom at the rear also has access to a balcony. A separate laundry room adds practicality to this level.
The second floor is a fully functional living level with multiple rooms and a second bathroom, ideal as a children’s floor, guest area, or workspace. The basement of approximately 23 m² is dry, accessible, and perfect for storage.
The south-facing garden of approx. 74 m² is a true highlight, offering sun, privacy, and space for multiple seating areas. A detached shed provides additional storage.
Key features include six bedrooms, two bathrooms, three toilets, energy label B, air conditioning, 19 solar panels, underfloor heating, and a long-term leasehold.

A home like this is best experienced in person. We warmly invite you to arrange a viewing.
