Amsterdam

An exceptional three-storey design residence with three bedrooms and a breathtaking roof terrace, on one of Amsterdam’s most coveted addresses.

Situated between Vondelpark and the Leidsebuurt, this remarkable townhouse on the Vondelstraat occupies the heart of Oud-West. Finished with materials and amenities of the very highest order, Vondelstraat 15-2 is a home for the true connoisseur. Historical grandeur and contemporary luxury come together here in a way that is rarely found.

Layout
The townhouse dates from 1898 and was designed by Joseph Cuypers, son of the renowned architect Pierre Cuypers. At the end of 2022, the property underwent a complete renovation under the direction of designer Frank Versteeg of The Grand Interior. The result is an Italian-inspired interior, finished with exclusive Italian marble throughout. Ceilings of over three metres, ornamental cornices and elegant panel and en suite doors give the home its unmistakable character and historical allure.

The private entrance door opens onto an elegant staircase leading to the hall, where a glazed sliding door provides access to the first floor. The bespoke lighting design in the stairwell sets the tone immediately. Throughout the home, lighting is as considered as it is refined: from integrated spotlights to elegant chandeliers. All floors feature a herringbone parquet with a bronze inlay. Each level is equipped with air conditioning.

From the hall, the see-through fireplace draws the eye toward the living room and adjoining kitchen. The kitchen island, finished in Italian natural stone and matt bronze and complete with a dining bar, forms the centrepiece of the open-plan kitchen. Marble and soft Alphenberg leather give the space an ambiance reminiscent of a Milanese penthouse of the highest order. The kitchen is equipped with Miele appliances, a Quooker and wine and beverage coolers.

Adjacent to the kitchen is the dining area. On the garden side, a sitting area with built-in bookshelves, integrated television and gas fireplace invites you to unwind. Large windows flood the space with natural light, while automated Luxaflex blinds with smart controls provide privacy when desired. From the living room, a balcony with views over the city is directly accessible. The guest toilet in the hallway deserves a special mention: finished with leather panels, marble, mirror glass, wood and matt bronze.

Second floor
The wide staircase leads to the second floor, where the stair railing — like all metalwork throughout the home — features art deco detailing, with steps and handrail subtly illuminated by integrated LED lighting. On this floor are a children’s bedroom and a generous master bedroom with an adjoining balcony, where the morning sun gently fills the room. The sliding windows and doors can be fully opened, allowing the bedroom and terrace to flow seamlessly into one another. The master bedroom also features a built-in wardrobe wall with gas fireplace and integrated television.

The master bedroom, bathroom and dressing room together form one cohesive suite. The marble bathroom is finished with the exclusive detailing of Italian brand Gessi and features a double walk-in rain shower, a freestanding black bath, a gas fireplace, television and copper taps and basins. The adjoining dressing room is fitted with deep-pile carpeting and elegant wardrobes by Italian brand Rimadesio.

Third floor
On the third floor is a guest suite with bedroom and marble bathroom with bath and walk-in rain shower. There is also a stylish man cave cum hobby room, complete with open fireplace, integrated television, wine coolers and a marble bar with integrated lighting.

The roof terrace at the very top of the home is its crowning glory. A marble outdoor kitchen with Green Egg barbecue, a professional bar with coolers and a warm wooden floor create an outdoor room of exceptional quality. Designer lighting, parasol heaters and a large television screen complete the picture. The views are truly unique: from the Westertoren in the city centre all the way to the Zuidas.

Location
The Vondelstraat is situated in the Vondelparkbuurt, one of the most beloved neighbourhoods of Amsterdam Oud-West, with Vondelpark within easy walking distance. The area offers a rich mix of fine restaurants, charming cafés and exclusive shops. The Overtoom, the Leidsegracht and the canal ring are within cycling distance. The Museumplein, with the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum and Stedelijk Museum, is reachable within minutes. With excellent connections to the city centre, the Zuidas and Schiphol, the location is as practical as it is desirable. Schools, sports clubs and medical facilities nearby make this address particularly well suited to families and professionals seeking to live where Amsterdam is at its finest.
