Keizer Karelweg 3941181 RK AmstelveenKruiskerkbuurt

Character, light, space, and privacy are the key words that best describe this home. Located on the most beautiful stretch of Keizer Karelweg, near Charlotte de Montpensierlaan, this magnificent townhouse offers a rare opportunity. Built in 1939, this family home features an extra-wide rear garden, generous volume, exceptional character, tremendous potential, and a secluded setting behind the iconic Italian poplar trees that line the stately Keizer Karelweg in the highly sought-after Elsrijk neighborhood. The Property The front façade immediately catches the eye with its beautiful transverse gable featuring a curved window, original steel entrance door, bay window, and deep front garden. The townhouse remains largely in its original condition and requires comprehensive renovation. This presents a unique opportunity to create an exceptionally spacious townhouse while retaining a substantial rear garden. Thanks to the property's wider rear section, the garden is both deeper and wider than average by Amstelveen standards. After renovation and extension, the house could offer well over 200 m² of living space. Location The location is outstanding, quietly set back behind a green verge and the characteristic Italian poplar trees along Keizer Karelweg, close to the beautiful Charlotte de Montpensierlaan. The architecture is representative of traditional 1930s residential design. Keizer Karelweg distinguishes itself from other streets in Elsrijk through its broad layout, central median with artworks and Italian poplars, and extensive green spaces. Elsrijk is an exceptional residential area offering a high quality of life and excellent accessibility. The Amsterdamse Bos provides numerous recreational and sporting opportunities, including running trails, a children's pool, and a swimming lake. Hockey, cricket, tennis, and football facilities are all located nearby. For daily shopping, residents can visit the stores on Rembrandtweg and Amsterdamseweg, as well as the nearby Stadshart Amstelveen shopping center. Here you will find an extensive range of shops, the popular weekly market, an organic market, an ultra-modern library, and numerous entertainment options, including a cinema, theatre, the Cobra Museum, and a wide selection of restaurants. Several primary schools and daycare centers are within walking distance, while international schools can be reached within ten minutes. The property enjoys excellent connectivity via direct access routes to both the A9 and A10 motorways (Amsterdam’s ring road), while multiple bus stops ensure outstanding public transport links. Amsterdam city centre and Schiphol Airport can both be reached within 15 minutes. By bicycle, Amsterdam South and the Zuidas business district are just a 15-minute ride away. Layout Ground Floor The original steel front door is accessed via the deep front garden. Entrance hall, vestibule, utility meter cupboard, and spacious central hall with access to the cellar. Upon entering, the beautifully preserved original details immediately stand out, giving the house its unique character and soul. The elegant staircase balustrade is a particular focal point, showcasing the craftsmanship of the period. The through-living room features a bay window at the front. At its heart is an open fireplace. The dated kitchen is situated at the garden side. As previously mentioned, the house widens towards the rear, a feature that is particularly noticeable from the kitchen. Outdoor Space The rear garden is exceptionally generous—both deeper and wider than average. Even after adding a substantial extension, the outdoor space would remain larger than what is typically found in Amstelveen. The garden faces southeast and, thanks to its depth, offers sunny spots throughout much of the day. First Floor Landing, separate toilet, and a bathroom at the front of the house, which is also dated. The bathroom includes a bathtub and double washbasin. At the rear, benefiting from the additional width of the property, there are three well-proportioned bedrooms. Two of these bedrooms have direct access to the balcony overlooking the garden. Second Floor Landing with natural daylight and access via a loft ladder to the attic storage space. At the front is the laundry room, which could ideally be converted into a second bathroom. The fourth and fifth bedrooms are located at the front and rear respectively. The front bedroom features a dormer window with the characteristic curved design, while the rear bedroom also benefits from a dormer.
