Bovenkerkerkade 121185 CP AmstelveenKastanjebuurt

Characterful 1920s home on the waterfront, with three outdoor spaces and a separate entrance to the basement Located on the green and peaceful Bovenkerkerkade, with unobstructed views across the water to the front, this charming 1926 home is now offered for sale. The property offers a surprisingly generous layout, with approximately 142 m² of living space on a 200 m² plot, spread over the basement, ground floor and first floor, with an additional attic above. The property also benefits from no fewer than three outdoor spaces: a very spacious northwest-facing front garden with a wooden deck terrace, a secluded southeast-facing patio adjoining the basement, and a terrace directly off the living room. This means you can enjoy the sun throughout the day. The living-room terrace catches the first rays of sunshine in the morning and offers a wonderfully sheltered and completely private spot, while the spacious front garden, open to the water, enjoys sunshine from late morning until sunset. Wherever you choose to sit, there is always a perfect spot to enjoy the outdoors. In addition to the regular front entrance, the property has a separate entrance to the basement. This makes the home particularly suitable for a home office or professional practice, without compromising on privacy. The exterior of the entire property was recently painted (2026), the pitched roof was renewed around 2000 and the electrical installation was completely modernised in 2024. Combined with 15 solar panels on the roof, this is a home you can move straight into and enjoy. Location Bovenkerkerkade is a popular, tree-lined waterfront street in the Keizer Karelpark neighbourhood. Spacious, green and surrounded by water, yet right in the heart of Amstelveen. From the house, you have wonderful views across the water opposite the property — a view that changes with every season and is difficult to find elsewhere. Shopping, dining and culture The charming Oude Dorp is within easy walking and cycling distance, with its historic village church, terraces and excellent restaurants — the perfect place for Friday afternoon drinks or a long summer dinner. Amstelveen’s Stadshart shopping centre can be reached within minutes by bicycle and offers a comprehensive range of covered shops, a weekly market, the library, Schouwburg Amstelveen and the Cobra Museum. For everyday shopping, there are also local shops nearby, including those on Van der Hooplaan. Education Amstelveen is known for its wide range of educational facilities. Several primary schools can be found in the immediate vicinity, including Montessori, Waldorf and Protestant Christian schools, as well as several well-regarded secondary schools such as Keizer Karel College, Amstelveen College and Hermann Wesselink College. The international school on Sportlaan is also within cycling distance, as is a wide choice of childcare and after-school care facilities. Sports and recreation The major sports facilities of Amstelveen are located on Sportlaan, including a swimming pool and fields for football, hockey and tennis. The Amsterdamse Bos is just around the corner, offering hundreds of hectares for running, cycling, rowing or walking the dog. The Amstelveense Poel, the Bovenlanden nature reserve and Amstelland are also within easy reach, allowing you to quickly cycle into the expansive surrounding countryside. Accessibility The A9, A2 and A10 motorways are easily accessible, while Schiphol Airport and Amsterdam’s Zuidas business district are approximately a 15-minute drive away. By public transport, the Amsteltram via Beneluxbaan and direct bus connections provide easy access to Amsterdam Zuid, the city centre and the airport. Cyclists are particularly well served here: via the dedicated cycle path known as the Zwarte Pad, you can quickly and safely cycle towards Amsterdam Zuid without having to deal with heavy traffic. It is a pleasant, green route that makes commuting to the Zuidas considerably more enjoyable.
