A Family Home in a Historic Canal House

This beautiful canal house is located in the famous 9 Streets area in the heart of Amsterdam. The canal house was renovated by Flow a couple of years ago, and it’s now a unique family home with bright color accents.

The 204 square meter family home is divided over four floors. It has five bedrooms, three bedrooms, a patio, and a roof terrace overlooking the rooftops of the surrounding houses.

The house was built in 1770, and it is a national monument. This means there are restrictions in renovating a property like this. But the owners and the architect managed to create a fun family home with unique details and historical elements.

The heart of the home is this beautiful kitchen and dining room on the ground floor. Most of these canal houses are narrow. In this house, they added a window between the dining area and the hallway to make both rooms feel as spacious as possible.
