Let's go for "baroque." You won't believe what's behind the door of this 1683 canal house in Amsterdam. 3bds, 4ba, € 3.95M / $4.248M. Thanks to ingek73 for finding this gem- it really is a jewel.
Open the door to this incredible marble and gold entrance hall.
Sitting room #1 has a wonderful mural on the ceiling.
And, it opens right into sitting room #2. Note the fireplace wall and spiral columns. Look at the ceiling- they hung a huge framed painting up there, that fits perfectly into the coffered ceiling.
This deck has a skylight in it. Either that, or they more likely built a deck around the skylight. So unique.
The view from below in this gorgeous 2nd kitchen.
Luxurious primary bedroom.
The galley kitchen is modern, but I like these cabinets.
Stairs to the upper floor just outside the kitchen.
Another elegant sitting room. I like the dark ceiling and light beams. It's different. Murals decorate the ceiling, also.
Spiral stairs. The home consists of 5 floors.
Upper landing with a library/game room.
Isn't this bath amazing?
One of the beautiful bedrooms. I like the small canopy over the single bed.
One thing about expensive homes, you're never at loss for sitting rooms.
These rooms on the next floor are beautiful. Looks like there's a kitchenette, too.
Modern bath up here.
A ladder above this space leads to a catwalk that makes the most of every level of the house.
Isn't this cool? Feel like a ship's captain in this room at the top of the house. There's even a widow's walk on this house.
Below is a cozy chair next to a fireplace.
There's also a private workroom up here.
Down to the lower level that used to be a dental office.
It's been converted to a beautifully spacious apt.
What a great house.

Amsterdam, capital of the Netherlands, has more than 100 kilometers of grachten (canals), about 90 islands and 1,500 bridges. The three main canals (Herengracht, Prinsengracht and Keizersgracht), dug in the 17th century during the Dutch Golden Age, form concentric belts around the city, known as the Grachtengordel. Alongside the main canals are 1550 monumental buildings.The 17th-century canal ring area, including the Prinsengracht, Keizersgracht, Herengracht and Jordaan, were listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2010,contributing to Amsterdam's fame as the "Venice of the North".

Thanks to Ingek73 for sending in this beautiful renovated 1880 2rm. apt. in Amsterdam. It has 1bd 1ba, but what a bedroom! This building housed Roman Catholic nuns and the bedroom is in their former chapel. €1.695M / $1,831,702 + €364.60mo. / $394mo. fee.
The main room is a spacious combination living room/kitchen. I like the soft lighting they installed.
Pocket doors close off the bedroom from the main room.
The kitchen is very nice and has room for 2 stools at the island.
In the corner, there's room enough for a sizable table & chairs.
There's plenty space for a few more furniture pieces in the sitting area.
View of the bedroom, w/the doors open, from the main room.
Check this out- The bed is on a platform and there's a sofa sized window seat.
But, look at the magnificent chapel ceiling over the bed.
Behind the bed is a large closet.
Beautiful leaded glass windows.
The door on the left is the bathroom.
Beautiful spacious bath and shower.
There's a permit parking system on the street along the canal.
