Bosboom Toussaintstraat 18-A1054 AR AmsterdamHelmersbuurt-Oost

Sometimes, everything feels right before you have even opened the front door. The rose climbing along the façade, the bench in the sunshine and the charming atmosphere of Bosboom Toussaintstraat immediately give this spacious maisonette a special feel. Behind the façade lies a generous family home of approximately 143 m², featuring four bedrooms, a wonderful rear garden, freehold ownership and renewed foundations. A characterful home offering space and comfort, situated on a street that many consider to be the most beautiful in Oud West. Arranged over the ground and first floors, the property offers exactly the space and tranquillity you would hope to find in a comfortable family home. The high ceilings on both floors, generous living spaces and original period features create a wonderful balance between character, comfort and everyday living. LAYOUT The private entrance opens into the hallway, where the marble floor immediately sets the tone. This flooring continues into the kitchen and conservatory and benefits from underfloor heating. A stylish and comfortable feature that beautifully complements the classical character of the property. At the front is the spacious living room, featuring classic herringbone parquet flooring, high ceilings and a fully preserved ornamental ceiling. Original sliding doors connect the living room to the dining room, creating an attractive balance between openness and intimacy. Original features, including the classical doors, characterful fireplaces and authentic door and window fittings, give the property an abundance of atmosphere and charm. At the same time, the layout is highly practical and perfectly suited to everyday family life. At the rear is the open kitchen, which connects directly to the dining room. The red cabinet fronts give the kitchen a distinctive and warm appearance and combine surprisingly well with the authentic style of the property. The marble worktop complements the floor beautifully and creates a calm and inviting atmosphere. One of the home’s absolute highlights is the conservatory. The floor to ceiling glazing allows beautiful natural light to enter and creates a seamless connection with the garden. Three sets of double doors provide direct access outside. The garden is a wonderful green oasis in the heart of the city. It is filled with flowers, plants and a variety of inviting corners where the changing seasons can be enjoyed. In spring, the garden gradually comes to life, while in summer you are surrounded by greenery and flowers, making it feel as though you have briefly escaped the city altogether. During the summer months, the garden enjoys sunshine from approximately 12 noon until 4 pm, exactly when you are most likely to want to enjoy it. The first floor comprises four bedrooms, including two generously sized rooms and two smaller rooms. The excellent ceiling height is immediately noticeable on this floor as well, making every room feel bright and spacious. The two larger bedrooms share the bathroom, which can be accessed directly from both rooms through separate entrances. The bathroom has been renovated and includes a walk in shower, a double washbasin and a bathtub. A useful storage cupboard can also be accessed from the hallway. The bathroom could, if desired, also be made accessible from the hallway, offering even greater flexibility in the layout. THE NEIGHBOURHOOD Bosboom Toussaintstraat is one of those streets that people often talk about. It is not without reason that many consider it the most beautiful street in Oud West. Characteristic façades, abundant greenery and a peaceful residential atmosphere give the area its unique charm. At the same time, you are living in the heart of the city, in a family friendly neighbourhood surrounded by welcoming cafés, excellent restaurants and numerous popular local destinations. The area directly in front of the property is also a lovely place to spend time. The bench outside the front door is the kind of spot where you naturally sit down with a cup of coffee, a book or a glass of wine. With sunshine available for much of the day and the rose climbing beautifully along the façade, this part of the street feels almost like an extension of the home. For excellent coffee, you can walk to Un.common, a coffee bar that chef Yotam Ottolenghi also counts among his Amsterdam favourites. Teds is a wonderful choice for breakfast or brunch, while Gertrude, De Italiaan, Café Restaurant Toussaint, Bosco and Pastis are all just around the corner for drinks or dinner. The Ten Katemarkt, De Hallen, a wide range of shops and Vondelpark are also nearby.
