Character, warmth and comfort overlooking the green Meidoornplein! A private entrance, authentic exposed wooden beams, high ceilings, a stylish kitchen and dining area, and a sunny balcony: this spacious maisonette combines the charm of the 1920s with modern-day comfort. Offering approximately 72 m² of living space, a well-designed layout, two generously sized bedrooms and an energy label A, this charming home is situated in a wonderful location in the highly sought-after Van der Pek neighbourhood in Amsterdam-Noord. A word from the current owners: “What we will miss most is the character and unique atmosphere of our home. During the renovation, it was important to us to preserve the charm of the original 1920s architecture while combining it with the comfort of modern living. For example, we deliberately kept the original wooden window frames in their authentic colour. These distinctive details give the home its own personality and bring the character of the surrounding neighbourhood indoors. The kitchen and dining area, the heart of our home, has always been where everything comes together. We have hosted countless drinks and dinner parties here, perfected our barista skills, and now hope the new owners will enjoy just as many wonderful moments. The location itself is another reason why this home is so special to us. The views over the green Meidoornplein, the distinctive atmosphere of the Van der Pek neighbourhood and the wonderful relationships with our neighbours have always given us a real sense of belonging. Here, you live in the heart of Amsterdam, surrounded by the energy of the city, while enjoying a welcoming, almost village-like atmosphere.” Authentic Details and Contemporary Finishes Upon entering, the wonderful combination of space, natural light and character immediately stands out. The property has been thoughtfully renovated and designed, preserving its original features while incorporating luxurious materials and bespoke finishes. Highlights include the solid oak staircase treads, characteristic exposed wooden beams and handmade Portuguese tiles in the bathroom. The extra-tall pivot doors on the upper floor allow natural light to flow beautifully throughout the home, creating a seamless connection between the different spaces. Comfort and Sustainability The property is fully insulated, features wooden window frames with HR++ double glazing and benefits from an energy label A. The result is a wonderful combination of authentic 1920s architecture and the comfort and energy efficiency of modern living.
