Tour This charming home unfolds around the spacious family kitchen, accessible via the side entrance and connected to the dining area through French doors opening onto the garden. The main entrance on the stately Apollolaan leads into a welcoming vestibule adorned with stained glass and a generous cloakroom. From here, the expansive living room opens out, bathed in natural light thanks to the characteristic bay windows. This elegant space exudes tranquillity and character, with a working fireplace, a Belgian bluestone mantelpiece, and an oak herringbone floor that flows seamlessly into the dining area. The dining room is the heart of the home, featuring double French doors to the terrace and visual connections to both the kitchen and front garden, enhancing the sense of openness. The kitchen is fully equipped with a six-burner gas hob, oven, stainless steel worktop, quiet external-extraction hood, tall cabinet wall, integrated Etna fridge-freezer, and a dedicated coffee corner. It provides direct access to the rear garden, while the adjoining utility room offers individual storage lockers for family members and functions as a practical buffer zone for pets. Throughout the ground floor, a Flos lighting scheme complements classic Candido terrazzo in the entrance and stairwell, and the oak herringbone parquet in the main living spaces — a harmonious blend of elegance and functionality. The first floor houses three bedrooms. The master suite, quietly situated at the rear, includes a fireplace and a custom-built wardrobe wall in keeping with the house’s style. The luxurious en suite bathroom is bathed in natural light and features a double vanity, freestanding tub, and spacious double shower, all finished in bespoke timber and brushed stainless steel. At the front are a compact bedroom with washbasin and a spacious office with access to a wide east-facing balcony that captures the morning sun and overlooks the side garden. The entire floor is laid in Hungarian point oak flooring. The second floor offers three more bedrooms, each with its own character. The largest is positioned at the rear under the roofline, with six traditional Amsterdam-style windows, two original built-in cupboards, and continuous oak flooring in Hungarian point. The second bedroom overlooks the garden, while the third is ideal as a guest or study room. All bedrooms are fitted with designer radiators. The bathroom features classic terrazzo flooring with underfloor heating, a walk-in shower, toilet, and vanity, all naturally lit. Adjacent is a practical laundry room with connections for washer and dryer, a sink, and a window for light and ventilation. Above the main sleeping areas are two attic spaces. The first is accessed via a removable staircase and fully insulated, with oak Hungarian point flooring and three Velux skylights — ideal as a studio or guest room. The second, accessed via a retractable ladder, serves as additional storage. The property is enveloped by gardens on three sides: a south-facing front garden, an east-facing side garden, and a generous rear garden. This layout ensures sunlight or shade throughout the day. The front garden forms the formal entrance, accessed through a decorative wrought-iron gate on Apollolaan. The side garden brings light into the salon and dining room, while the rear garden is accessible via a path around the house and through French doors from both the kitchen and dining room. The rear garden offers full privacy and includes a lawn with terrace, a bike shed with a sedum roof, a freestanding storage unit, and a greenhouse. A covered seating area with a wood-burning stove is a cosy and inviting retreat. The side entrance is ideal for everyday use, providing direct access to the kitchen — an informal yet highly functional convenience. The balcony on the first floor expands the sense of light and openness in the sleeping quarters. What the Residents Will Miss “What we love most is how peaceful the house feels while being so close to everything. Within five minutes you're on your road bike in the countryside, Beatrixpark is just around the corner, and both De Pijp with the Albert Cuyp Market and Beethovenstraat are within walking distance. When we purchased the house, we undertook a full renovation with architect Peter Geuzenbroek, two-time winner of the Zuiderkerk Prize. The result is a thoughtfully designed and comfortable home, where the kitchen is the beating heart. Guests — whether friends, family, or the kids — often enter via the side path and arrive straight into the kitchen. Thanks to sliding doors, it can easily be closed off for larger gatherings.” Neighbourhood Apollolaan 20 is located in the prestigious Amsterdam-Zuid, between Minervaplein and Beatrixpark. The avenue is lined with monumental plane trees, wide pavements, and outstanding architecture. The area is known for its green, almost village-like atmosphere, while still offering all urban conveniences. Shops, schools, and sports facilities are just a short walk away, as are the Zuidas business district and Beethovenstraat. Amsterdam Zuid Station is easily reached by bike and offers direct connections to Schiphol Airport, The Hague, and Utrecht. Tram 5 and bus 24 are within close walking distance. The A10 ring road is reachable within minutes via exits S108 or S109. On-street parking is available via the permit system. A resident permit costs €192.81 per six months. A second permit is available for €482.03 per six months. (Source: Municipality of Amsterdam, July 2025) We’ve curated our favourite local hotspots in the online listing for this property.
