Exceptionally spacious, characterful, and perfectly laid out family home of 196m² (gross 221m²) spread over three floors, with a lovely front and back garden, two balconies, and stunning unobstructed views over the Schinkel canal. This charming property, boasting no fewer than 6 bedrooms, exudes authenticity and character in every room. Thanks to its ideal layout, the home offers tremendous potential to create a dream house in a fantastic location. Built in 1905, the house is located just a stone’s throw from the Vondelpark and the Museum Quarter, and around the corner from Hoofddorpplein, Amstelveenseweg, and Zeilstraat. Notably, the wide sidewalk in front of the house provides an ideal play area for children.
LAYOUT
Via the front garden with seating area, you enter this delightful family home. The spacious hallway provides room for a coat rack and features a separate toilet, the staircase to the upper floors, and two access points to the ground-floor living area.
The bright through-living room stretches 11.5 meters and is divided into a front-facing sitting room and a rear-facing kitchen/dining area. The sitting room includes a beautiful marble window sill and overlooks the private front garden and the water. The expansive kitchen features a sleek design with glossy black and soft peach-colored cabinets, complemented by a wood-look countertop. Equipped with various built-in appliances, the kitchen also offers access to a pantry/laundry room. Double doors lead out to a private west-facing garden of approximately 24m², also accessible via the pantry.
FIRST FLOOR
The first floor offers three bedrooms, all accessible from the landing. On either side, you’ll find spacious bedrooms, both with original black marble fireplaces—the front room is currently used as an office.
The main bedroom at the rear includes an en-suite bathroom and double doors to a large, sunny balcony. The bathroom is tastefully finished in olive green, white, and black, featuring a stunning marble surround for the extra-large two-person jacuzzi bathtub. It also includes a walk-in rain shower, smart toilet, two natural stone sinks, heated mirror, marble shelving, mirror cabinet, underfloor heating, and a "hug wall"—a uniquely heated wall in the shower for ultimate comfort.
The third bedroom on this floor, located at the front, is ideal as a nursery or child’s room, conveniently close to the main bedroom.
SECOND FLOOR
A skylit landing on the top floor leads to six separate rooms. This floor also features three bedrooms, including a very large front bedroom with a sloped ceiling, built-in closet, washbasin, and a window offering wide views over the water. Two more good-sized bedrooms are located at the rear.
The bright landing also gives access to:
A second bathroom with a black-and-white design, walk-in shower, sink, and built-in cupboard
A large storage room
The central heating system (installed in 2022), located in a separate room that also houses the third toilet
In short: a voluminous family home in a superb location!
