Ouderkerkerlaan 1331185 AG AmstelveenVan der Leekbuurt

Just imagine… living on the charming Ouderkerkerlaan in a stylish, immaculately maintained 1930s family home. Enjoy a beautifully landscaped, 20-meter-deep backyard where you can always find a sunny spot — or a cool, shady retreat — all year round. A home with no neighbours opposite, no neighbours behind, and yet everything you need is close at hand. There’s a wide selection of primary and secondary schools, including two international schools. The Stadshart shopping center and several sports facilities are just around the corner — as are the charming historic village center, the Amstel River, and scenic polder landscapes. Behind the hedge in the front garden, you’ll find a sunken, green-covered bike shed that neatly hides your entire fleet of bicycles from view. Step through the iconic round 1930s front door, and you’ll immediately feel at home. High ceilings, elegant doors that allow light to flow through the house, and a sturdy wooden floor immediately catch the eye. The long, bright hallway leads you to the spacious open-plan kitchen and dining room, fitted with recently installed built-in appliances, a Quooker, and an induction cooktop. This is the heart of the home — a place for cooking, entertaining, and sharing meals. A clever design transforms the built-in cabinets into two sliding en-suite doors, allowing you to close off the cosy living room from the dining area. French doors and a separate kitchen door lead out to an impressive 120 m² garden, complete with a spacious shed, a sunny terrace, and a covered lounge area at the rear — a true outdoor oasis. On the first floor, at the back of the house, you’ll find the exceptionally spacious master bedroom, which stretches across the entire width of the house and draws the garden inside with large windows. In the center is a generous bathroom that easily accommodates the whole family — even during the morning rush. At the front, there’s a medium-sized bedroom and a smaller (children’s) room. On the second floor, there’s a bright and airy study at the front, featuring classic French doors that let natural light flood the landing. At the rear, you’ll find another delightful bedroom with a view over the garden. Have your own ideas for the space? The house and garden offer plenty of possibilities for modifications, such as an extension or a second bathroom. Additional highlights: The A9 motorway is currently being lowered, significantly reducing noise pollution. A green 85-meter-wide overpass is being constructed above it, where the new Meanderpark will soon be realized. This park will include water features, benches, and paths for cycling and walking. In just a few minutes, you’ll be able to stroll through the Meanderpark straight to the Stadshart. Amstelveen’s Stadshart is just around the corner, offering a wide range of shops, supermarkets, restaurants, and cultural amenities such as a library, cinema, concert venue, and museum. Public transport is excellent, with tram lines 5 and 25 within walking distance, offering direct access to Amsterdam Zuid and Central Station. There are also direct bus connections to Schiphol Airport (approx. 15 minutes) and Station Bijlmer Arena. Nature is never far away – the beautiful Amsterdamse Bos and the recreational area De Poel are only a 10-minute bike ride away. Ideally located near major motorways: A9 (towards Schiphol and Utrecht), A1 (to Amsterdam and Het Gooi), and the Beneluxbaan (to Amsterdam).
