In 2009, the current owner acquired the first floor (Geschutswerf 37), which underwent a major renovation. All three floors were completely stripped and rebuilt, including new electricals, kitchen, bathroom on the ground floor, and toilet on the first floor. The combination of beautiful wooden beams and modern finishes creates a truly unique atmosphere. The architect’s goal was to design a cohesive home, rather than three separate units, resulting in a stunning layout with beautiful sightlines and the signature custom cabinetry appearing on each floor. This home combines the charm of a historical building with modern comfort, including underfloor heating, floor cooling (heat pump), and home automation. In 2014, the first floor layout was modified, and the two bathrooms were renovated. The two front bedrooms were previously a fully insulated music studio, which can easily be restored for use as a soundproof office or studio.In 2023, both central heating systems were replaced, as well as the two dishwashers and the Quooker tap.MONUMENT STATUSThe property is located in an area designated as a Nationally Protected Cityscape and is officially a listed National Monument.
