In the heart of Oud-Zuid, between the Museumplein and the P.C. Hooftstraat, the sophisticated Petit Paris rises. On the second floor, accessible by lift, is an apartment of approximately 51 m². The ground lease has been bought off perpetually.
Petit Paris at Jan Luijkenstraat 21 is part of a series of four townhouses built in 1903. During the most recent renovation in 2022 and 2023, new homes were created. The design aligns with modern lifestyles while preserving the history and character of the building. The apartment offers ultimate comfort, sustainability, and contemporary facilities. It is equipped with all conveniences, including a luxury kitchen, high-quality sanitary fittings, underfloor heating, and carpeting.
Tour
The elegant entrance with the original staircase and the elevator provides access to the apartment on the second floor at the rear. The space immediately stands out due to the beautiful natural light, thanks to its southern orientation. The living area gains extra atmosphere through the high ceiling and the gas fireplace.
The custom kitchen is equipped with modern built in appliances by Siemens, including an induction cooktop, combi oven, fridge freezer, dishwasher, and washer dryer. The design features a refined color scheme and high quality materials, creating a pleasant balance.
The bedroom is intimate and private and includes a luxurious bathroom. The ensuite bathroom offers a hotel experience thanks to the use of marble and the spacious walk in shower. The vanity unit provides plenty of space for toiletries, perfume, and similar items.
The living room features two tall French doors that can be opened on nice days. This creates an ideal indoor outdoor feeling, with sunlight streaming in beautifully due to the southern exposure.
Neighborhood
The Museumplein is a historic and dynamic area in Amsterdam, once characterized by farms. At the beginning of the last century, the Museum Quarter was developed to provide more living space, influenced by the architect Pierre Cuypers, known for the neogothic style of the Rijksmuseum. The Concertgebouw, in the neo-renaissance style, further defined the character of the district. With the arrival of the Van Gogh Museum and the architecture of Gerrit Rietveld, the neighborhood became even more modern. The range of restaurants, cafés, shops, and fashion houses such as Chanel and Ba&sh enhances the international flair of the area. The location is ideal, with the city center, the Pijp, and Amsterdam Zuid – including the Vondelpark – within walking distance.

Petit Paris
In 2023, our office had the pleasure of selling the apartments in the exceptional project on Jan Luijkenstraat. The homes immediately left a lasting impression, exuding international allure and grandeur. The ceiling height, natural light, and elegant architectural details evoke the feeling of French metropolitan design — Petit Paris.
The location is ever-evolving and perfectly aligned with the lifestyle of its new residents. A classical concert, an exhibition at the Rijksmuseum, or refined gastronomy are true sources of inspiration for a life filled with joie de vivre — embracing and enjoying life to the fullest.
For the owners, the apartment served as the perfect pied-à-terre. They enjoyed the neighborhood and Amsterdam so much, they decided to settle here permanently.
In the heart of Oud-Zuid, between Museumplein and P.C. Hooftstraat, stands the elegant Petit Paris. The building, with apartments accessible by lift, is part of a row of four townhouses built in 1903. Designed by architect Foeke Kuipers and approved by Ed Cuypers, nephew of the renowned Pierre Cuypers, the residence reflects the neo-Renaissance style inspired by the Dutch Golden Age.
Its elegant stepped gable, intricate brickwork, and refined doorframes showcase this rich architectural tradition. During the 2022–2023 renovation, the property was transformed into comfortable, sustainable apartments featuring luxury kitchens, high-end bathrooms, underfloor heating, and quality finishes.
Jan Luijkenstraat is a charming, tree-lined avenue near the Vondelpark, world-class museums, and the Concertgebouw. Petit Paris offers a peaceful residence in the cultural heart of the city.
