In 2009, the owner purchased the first floor (Geschutswerf 37). At that time, a major renovation took place where all 3 floors were completely stripped and rebuilt, including the electrics, kitchen, bathroom on the elevated ground floor and the toilet on the first floor. The beautiful wooden beams in combination with the modern finish create an unique whole. The architect's goal was to create a connected house instead of a house with 3 separate floors; this results in a beautiful design with lovely sightlines, with the distinctive wardrobe wall being the recurring feature on each floor. The charm of an old building with modern living comfort, including underfloor heating, floor cooling and home automation. In 2014, the layout on the first floor was changed, and the 2 bathrooms on this floor were renewed. The 2 bedrooms on the street side previously consisted of a fully insulated music room. This space can easily be restored to a well-insulated workspace or sound studio.In 2023, both central heating boilers were replaced and both dishwashers and the Quooker were renewed.MONUMENTThe building is located in an area designated as a national protected cityscape and is a designated national monument; the facade and the beams are monumental.LEASEHOLDThe property consists of 5 apartment rights; 2 homes with storage (Geschutswerf 33 and 37, now known as Geschutswerf 33), 2 parking spaces, and 1 business space in the basement (secondary address Entrepotdok 95).
