Herengracht 21 Weesp

Rare gem on the Kom of Weesp

Beautiful and well-maintained townhouse with a deep, sunny garden, located on the Kom of Weesp.

The love of the current resident for this canal house is evident in the care with which the home has been maintained. All restoration work was carried out by the renowned contractor Willem Vree, ensuring that the property is not only in excellent condition but has also retained its original details. Ornamental ceilings with cornices, paneled doors, and tiled floors have been carefully preserved and restored wherever possible. The addition of the conservatory has also been executed with an eye for quality and in keeping with the style of the house.

With over 200 m² of living space, this home offers plenty of room. It also features a deep garden with rear access and a garage accessible from the Achterherengracht—a rare combination in the old city center, right on the Kom of Weesp, between theater Wesopa and Wispe brewery.

On arrival, the classic façade with roses and a small balcony immediately stands out. Inside, you first step into a traditional vestibule with etched glass and a beautiful tiled floor. The hallway with pink marble tiles leads to the staircase, a storage closet, and a toilet.

The living room boasts a herringbone parquet floor with border. At the front, there is a working fireplace with a plastered finish, and beneath the tall windows, classic radiator covers perfectly match the style of the house. The high ceilings are in excellent condition, carefully restored with their original cornices and ornaments.

The wall between the living room and the rear kitchen was removed in the past, creating a spacious living area with room for a large dining table. The conservatory with partially glass roof connects seamlessly to the original rear façade. The former French doors to the garden now open into this bright space, which, thanks to underfloor heating, is comfortable year-round. The terracotta floor tiles are the same as in the kitchen. At the garden side, there is also a practical utility room that would benefit from some modernization.

From the conservatory and utility room, you step into the surprisingly deep garden, which widens at the back. The garden canopy, bathed in afternoon sun, is equipped with an outdoor kitchen. Even in early spring and autumn, this is a delightful spot, with the option to heat the outdoor kitchen. At the far end of the garden, you will find the garage with pitched roof providing generous storage space. The garage can be accessed by car from the Achterherengracht, and there is also a garden gate for bicycles or rear access. The garden is atmospherically landscaped with a plum tree, pear tree, blackberry bushes, and various fragrant English roses. The more than 40-year-old magnolia blooms twice a year and provides wonderful shade over the terrace by the house.

The staircase with balustrade leads to the first floor, where the bathroom, a separate toilet, and a smaller bedroom are located. The double en suite rooms are truly impressive, featuring wide wooden floorboards, original en suite doors, and decorative ceilings. At the front, French doors open to a balcony with views over the Kom, and at the rear, to a spacious balcony above the conservatory overlooking the garden.

The second and top floor has a beautiful, spacious (bed)room at the front with views over the Kom of Weesp, as well as a small attic storage space that could, if desired, be converted into a bathroom. At the rear are two additional bedrooms, one of which is a large room with a washbasin.

This home is a true gem in the historic heart of Weesp, waiting for a new resident to cherish it with the same love and care as its current owner.
