A MESSAGE FROM THE SELLERS As you walk up the stairs, you leave the city behind. That feeling has stayed with us throughout all the years we have lived here. With no upstairs neighbours and no overlooking properties, we enjoy complete peace and privacy in the heart of Amsterdam-Zuid. Thanks to the home's south-facing orientation, it is filled not only with an abundance of natural light, but with the most beautiful light throughout the day. It gives the house a sense of freedom and space that we have always treasured. No other home in the neighbourhood offers quite the same experience. Each floor has its own character. The main living level is where everyday life unfolds between the living room and kitchen. Above are the bedrooms, and at the very top is our favourite place: the loft of almost 100 m², with ceilings over five metres high, where you wake up above the treetops. The original woodwork and stained-glass windows are daily reminders that this home is part of a building dating back to 1928. Everyone had their own space here, yet we always found our way back to one another. We have watched our children grow up here, surrounded by greenery, with their friends and schools just around the corner. This home has always been filled with light, love and laughter. We hope its next residents will enjoy it just as much as we have. THE PROPERTY A truly unique upper-level residence of approximately 255 m², with a private entrance and five bedrooms, arranged across three living levels in one of the quietest streets of the prestigious Apollobuurt neighbourhood. Dating from 1928, the building is a listed national monument and has been thoughtfully renovated into a spacious family home, carefully preserving its authentic architectural features. Two balconies and a private south-facing roof terrace complete this exceptional property. LAYOUT SECOND FLOOR – LIVING A wide staircase leads directly to the main living level. The L-shaped living room with semi-open kitchen enjoys natural light from two sides, creating an atmosphere that changes beautifully throughout the day. The living, cooking and dining areas flow naturally into one another, making the space equally suited to relaxed weekday evenings and long dinners with friends. At the rear, a balcony overlooks the greenery of the surrounding courtyard gardens. An oasis of light, tranquillity and greenery. THIRD FLOOR – BEDROOMS Four generously sized bedrooms, a spacious bathroom with a bathtub and separate shower, and a separate toilet. A fully dedicated family floor, offering everyone their own space and privacy. A second balcony is located at the rear of this level. FOURTH FLOOR – THE LOFT The most remarkable part of the property: an impressive loft of almost 100 m², with ceilings reaching over five metres in height. This floor features its own kitchen, bathroom and third toilet, a spacious master bedroom and an expansive open-plan area. Perfect as a private master suite, but equally suitable as a home office, creative studio or guest accommodation. Windows on both sides offer views across the treetops and peaceful courtyard gardens of the Apollobuurt, while the Zuidas business district is just around the corner. In the morning, sunlight fills the bedroom, while the open-plan area enjoys the evening sun. This level also provides direct access to the generous roof terrace, offering views towards the Zuidas skyline. OUTDOOR SPACES The property features two balconies at the rear, located on the second and third floors. From the loft, you can step directly onto the south-facing roof terrace: a spacious private outdoor retreat, elevated above the city and entirely your own. AUTHENTIC DETAILS Preserving the building's original character was a guiding principle throughout the renovation. The original woodwork has been carefully restored or recreated where necessary, while the stained-glass panels in the doors retain the distinctive atmosphere and charm of this 1928 property. LOCATION Situated on a quiet, leafy street, this property enjoys an exceptional location with everything that makes Amsterdam-Zuid so desirable close at hand. Within walking distance, you will find Beethovenstraat, with its boutiques, supermarkets, coffee bars and restaurants, as well as Cornelis Schuytstraat, known for its speciality shops and inviting cafés and restaurants. For families, the neighbourhood is particularly appealing. Primary and secondary schools, international schools such as The British School of Amsterdam, and childcare facilities are all nearby, as are tennis, hockey and football clubs and fitness facilities. Both Vondelpark and Beatrixpark are also within easy reach. ACCESSIBILITY AND PARKING Amsterdam's city centre is approximately ten minutes away by bicycle, while Amsterdam Zuid Station, offering train, metro and tram connections, is just a few minutes away.
