Amsterdamseweg 2821182 HN AmstelveenOranjebuurt

Wonderful living at de Braak! Every once in a while, something truly special comes along. This characteristic semi-detached family home from 1926 has an open view over the monumental heemparken. With 241 m² of living space and a sunny south-facing back garden, the house has everything that makes a 1920s home so sought after: high ceilings, stained glass and beautiful herringbone parquet floors. The layout is surprisingly versatile, with 6 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms and a fully independent basement apartment. There is plenty of room for a large family, for working from home, or for a separate guest or office space. The last renovation took place between 2003 and 2005. There are plenty of opportunities to extend the living area (up to 380 m2), modernise the house and make it more sustainable to your own taste. Location The house is very centrally located in Amstelveen, close to Amsterdam, and is beautifully surrounded by greenery: the Koos Landwehrpark at the front and the Braak park at the back. For daily groceries, you can simply walk to the shops on the Amsterdamseweg, such as Albert Heijn and the French bakery De Fournil. For families, this is an ideal spot, with (international) primary and secondary schools within walking and cycling distance. The international school Amity is just a few minutes' walk away, and the International School of Amsterdam (ISA) is a 10 to 15 minute cycle ride. Children can play to their heart's content in the Amsterdamse Bos and at De Poel. The Oude Dorp of Amstelveen has a cosy, village-like character, with special addresses such as The Wine Kitchen (At The Sea), lunch café La Gare, café Het Wapen and the Michelin-starred restaurant Aan de Poel. The Stadshart, with its wide range of shops and restaurants, is a 5-minute bike ride away. Accessibility is excellent too: the motorway (including the A9) is just a few minutes away, Schiphol is a 15-minute drive, and Amsterdam is easily within reach. Layout Raised ground floor (bel-etage): entrance with vestibule with original tiles and hall, toilet, utility room at the rear and a stair/meter cupboard. Very spacious living room with bay window and parquet floor, and a custom-made kitchen with granite worktop, two ovens, pantry cabinet and dishwasher. At the rear there is access to the south-facing balcony/terrace. Ceiling height on this floor is 2.92 m. First floor: landing, bathroom with walk-in shower and bath, separate toilet, principal bedroom with air conditioning, fitted wardrobes and French doors to the balcony, a smaller bedroom/study with a special round side bay window with stained glass, and a larger bedroom at the front. Ceiling height is 2.73 m. Second floor: the roof extension, added in 1993, has a landing, a second bathroom with shower and toilet, two (bed)rooms with air conditioning and generous storage space at the rear, which also houses the central heating boiler. Basement apartment: fully independent, accessible from both inside and outside. Living room with oak parquet floor and sliding doors to the garden, kitchen, bathroom with bath, toilet and underfloor heating, and a bedroom with built-in wardrobes at the front. Ideal for dual occupancy, care for a relative, older children or a home office. Standing height here is 2 metres. Garden: the back garden faces south and is therefore sunny all day. The artificial grass field is ideal for hockey and football, and there is a trampoline, so children can play to their heart's content. The garden can be reached directly via a gate at the side of the house.
