Three-storey upper house with private entrance and sunny roof terrace 191 sqm | 5 bedrooms | 3 bathrooms | balcony + 29 sqm roof terrace | freehold | energy label A A private front door on one of Oud-Zuid's most beautiful avenues. A private staircase. And above it, 191 square metres entirely your own — three floors that live like a townhouse, crowned by a 29 sqm roof terrace. This is not an apartment. This is a house in the sky, in the peaceful heart of Amsterdam-Zuid. The 1908 building was comprehensively renovated down to the structure in 2015 and 2018, with all-new roofs and full insulation of floor, side walls and roof. The result: the character and stature of a classic Amsterdam townhouse — high ceilings, panelled doors, generous daylight through tall windows — combined with the comfort and energy efficiency of a thorough modernisation. A carefully designed lighting scheme with trimless downlights, a Kalfire fireplace, oak flooring and home automation create a considered finish, attentive to detail. Second floor — living, cooking, entertaining The living room opens via French balcony doors onto a sweeping view of the leafy Lassusstraat and the characteristic turret building on the corner. High ceilings, oak floors, and the soft hum of the Kalfire fireplace on a grey Sunday afternoon. At the front, a study or home office with bespoke built-in cabinetry — ideal for those who work from home and value daylight. At the rear, the open-plan kitchen with central island: the heart of the house. Induction hob, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, combi oven, steam oven and wine climate cabinet — fully equipped. Wide sliding doors lead to the landing with wardrobe storage and a separate toilet with hand basin. Third floor — sleeping in style The master bedroom with walk-in closet, air conditioning and a luxury en-suite bathroom: bathtub, double rain shower, twin washbasins and underfloor heating. Two further bedrooms at the front, one with bespoke built-in wardrobes — for children, guests or a second home office. Plus a second bathroom, a separate toilet with hand basin, and three practical storage cupboards, one of which houses the boiler, washing machine and dryer. Fourth floor — the roof terrace level Above it all, two more full-size bedrooms and a third bathroom with underfloor heating. A guest wing, a children's floor, a work-from-home suite — you decide. The landing on this floor also features a fully equipped second kitchen with natural stone worktop, induction hob, dishwasher and fridge — perfectly placed for the adjoining roof terrace. Because what truly sets this floor apart lies just outside: a sunny 29 sqm roof terrace with views across the Amsterdam rooftops, complete with outdoor tap, electricity and ambient lighting. Picture a summer evening: a long table, wine, friends, and a second kitchen on the very same floor. The Johannes Verhulststraat This is the Oud-Zuid where people stay for thirty years. A wide, tree-lined avenue with stately late 19th-century architecture, a quiet atmosphere, children cycling by, neighbours who know each other by name. And at the same time: a three-minute walk to the Vondelpark, five minutes to the Concertgebouw and Museumplein, around the corner the boutiques and restaurants of Cornelis Schuytstraat and Willemsparkweg. Het Amsterdams Lyceum and Cornelis Vrij Lyceum within a ten-minute walk, international schools a short bike ride away. Five to ten minutes by car to the A10 ring road, fifteen minutes to Schiphol Airport. A home for those who want the best of Amsterdam, without compromising on quiet, space or comfort.
