Laan van Bloemenhove 41181 AP AmstelveenRandwijck Oost

Welcome to the quiet and charming Laan van Bloemenhove, located in the highly sought-after Randwijck area, directly bordering Amsterdam. This neighbourhood offers the best of both worlds: a pleasant and peaceful residential setting with excellent amenities, all within walking or cycling distance of vibrant Amsterdam. The area is characterised by its distinctive homes built in the Amsterdam School style, generous green spaces and attractive water features. Many authentic 1930s details have been beautifully preserved, contributing to an exceptionally high quality of living. It is therefore no surprise that this is one of the most desirable residential locations in the immediate vicinity of Amsterdam. With approximately 159 sq m of living space, four generously sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, a reinstated en-suite layout combining a cosy sitting room with a spacious and luxurious kitchen/dining area, and a delightful garden, this property offers everything one could wish for: space, comfort, style and quality. The house has been modernised in nearly every respect and benefits from an energy label B. GENERAL The property dates back to 1935 and is situated in one of the most attractive parts of the neighbourhood. It has been owned by the current owners since 2017 and underwent an extensive renovation and modernisation in 2022 in collaboration with an architect. This included, among other things, a rear extension, optimisation of the layout across all three floors, renewal of installations, installation of a bespoke kitchen and a high-quality finish incorporating characteristic period details. Further improvements have since been made to, among others, the roofs, the existing bathroom and the garden. In addition, the original entrance with stained-glass windows by the front door has been restored, ensuring the property once again aligns with the largely preserved 1930s character of Laan van Bloemenhove. With no properties directly opposite, this street offers excellent privacy as well as ample parking. ‘Villa Randwijck’, located across the road, serves as a lively meeting place for residents of all ages during the day and, as a listed municipal monument, forms a defining and enriching feature of the neighbourhood. LIVING Upon entering, the pleasant atmosphere of the home is immediately apparent. The hallway features, in addition to the usual under-stairs cupboard and meter cupboard, a neatly finished storage space added during the renovation, as well as a guest cloakroom. The reinstated en-suite layout in a modernised style has recreated two separate living areas, accessible from the hall through two beautiful full-height sliding doors with stained glass, designed in keeping with the original motifs and colour scheme characteristic of the street. The front room benefits from a large window with stained glass in the same original design seen at the entrance. The rich light filtering through creates a warm, authentic ambience, enhanced by the restored period features. This space connects via another set of full-height double en-suite sliding doors (again with matching stained glass) to the true centrepiece of the ground floor: the generously extended kitchen/dining room at the rear. KITCHEN / DINING The spacious kitchen/dining area offers all the features expected of a modern luxury city home, while subtly referencing the reinstated period details with a contemporary approach. There is ample space for a large dining table positioned in front of a full-width bespoke cabinet wall in a modernised 1930s style, complete with sliding doors, drawers and shelving, seamlessly integrated with the high-quality kitchen. At the heart of the bright and luxurious kitchen is an approximately 4-metre-wide island with a multi-seat breakfast bar – the natural gathering point of the home, perfect for informal dining or entertaining. The layout offers an abundance of workspace and storage. Double French doors to the garden and three large electric Velux roof windows with electric blinds provide excellent natural light and ventilation. The kitchen is equipped with a five-burner induction hob, oven and additional combi-oven, a Siemens dishwasher, an American-style fridge freezer and a Quooker tap. The entire ground floor features a low-maintenance PVC floor with underfloor heating. OUTSIDE The garden was newly landscaped in 2023, featuring high-quality, low-maintenance decking, stone paving and planting, including three pleached magnolia trees. Provisions have been made for a lighting system (fixtures yet to be installed). Although the spacious city garden faces north, the absence of tall buildings or trees ensures sunlight throughout the day. At the rear, a covered lounge area allows for comfortable outdoor seating from early spring onwards. There is also a brick-built storage shed and access to a secure communal rear passage with gated exits and motion-sensor lighting. The front garden faces south and provides space for bicycle storage as well as a seating area. BEDROOMS The property offers four well-proportioned bedrooms across two floors. The first floor comprises three comfortable bedrooms of similar size. The two rear-facing rooms have access to the roof of the extension, while the front bedroom enjoys a large window with views towards Villa Randwijck. The bedroom on the second floor is a true highlight. Dormer windows on both sides, impressive ceiling height, exposed roof structure and a bespoke wardrobe extending the full width and height of the space create a luxurious, almost hotel-like feel. Air conditioning provides additional comfort. BATHROOMS The property features two high-quality bathrooms. The main family bathroom on the first floor includes a bathtub with shower, a spacious walk-in shower, double washbasin with vanity unit, a second toilet and electric underfloor heating. There is also a separate laundry room on this floor with ample storage space and provisions for a washing machine and dryer. The second floor offers an additional generous bathroom with a walk-in shower, double washbasin with vanity unit and a third toilet. ADDITIONAL FEATURES On-street parking is available directly in front of the property, with the possibility to apply for two permits. Due to development on only one side of the street, there is generally ample parking available. Opposite the property, near Villa Randwijck, there is a large outdoor play area for children. The location also hosts various community activities and events throughout the year for both young and old. LOCATION AND AMENITIES Randwijck is a quiet and highly family-friendly neighbourhood, spaciously laid out with wide avenues, attractive water features and plenty of greenery. This desirable residential area borders Amsterdam and offers excellent access to major roads (A4, A9 and A10), public transport (including the express tram to Amsterdam) and a wide range of shopping facilities, such as Stadshart Amstelveen and Gelderlandplein. The Zuidas business district, Amsterdam city centre, international schools, sports clubs, riding schools, the Amsterdamse Bos and De Nieuwe Meer are all within walking or cycling distance.
