Various restaurants, cafés, terraces, and shops are within walking distance. The Stadshart Amstelveen shopping centre, several schools, sports facilities, public transport connections, and major roads to Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport, and Utrecht are all easily accessible. Personal note: Seven years ago, we moved into our beautiful 1930s home. We were looking for a place just outside Amsterdam: a house with a garden, situated in a lively neighbourhood with all shops close by, wonderful restaurants, and nature right on your doorstep. The moment we stepped into the living room at Smedemanplein, we fell in love instantly. The French doors, the incredible amount of natural light, and the south-facing garden immediately won us over. Then there was the charm of a house dating back to 1923 and the authentic stained-glass windows that still adorn the upper frames. We have truly loved living here. Whenever the sun is shining, we eat outside. On Wednesday mornings, we often enjoy breakfast at Stadshart around the corner, and on Sundays we take a walk around De Poel in the Amsterdamse Bos. For families with children, the local library is highly recommended, and having a primary school within walking distance is a real luxury. We hope the next owners will fall in love with this home just as we did.
