Quote
"We once stumbled upon this part of Vondelstraat by chance – a hidden oasis in the city. The house, the light, the park right outside, and the charm of the street: everything just felt right. Our children grew up here with the park as their backyard and lovely neighbours around us. We're not moving far, but we will miss this home every single day."
Neighbourhood
From an industrial zone dotted with windmills to a residential district rich in architecture: the Vondel neighbourhood, as we know it today, has undergone a remarkable transformation since the 19th century. The area is named after the poet Joost van den Vondel. The neighbourhood is characterised by a wealth of architectural styles, such as the neoclassical building of the Hollandsche Manege and the Seven Countries Houses, designed in seven distinctive styles referencing specific nations. The Vondelstraat and Roemer Visscherstraat exude a special allure along the park.
Bootcamp. Picnicking. Dipping your toes in the water. It all happens in Vondelpark. This is the green heart of the city where everyone comes together and differences in status or background fade away. The sun-drenched terrace of the Renaissance-style Vondelpark Pavilion, now Parkzuid, remains a wonderful spot for drinks or dinner. This is the neighbourhood for anyone who appreciates well-built, spacious homes close to the city centre, with the Overtoom as its main thoroughfare and the Helmersbuurt providing every urban convenience.

The front balcony overlooks the greenery, while the terrace at the rear borders the inner gardens. Inside, original elements such as ceiling ornaments, tall panel doors, and a room-en-suite provide a timeless foundation. The finish is calm and thoughtful. The décor — with distinctive art and bold choices — showcases how well this home works in everyday life.
Vondelstraat 180 is stylish, quirky, and strong. A home with character, in a location that has everything to offer.

This home on Vondelstraat is part of a building block from around 1880, constructed during the first major urban expansions of Amsterdam. During this period, a new standard for residential living was created: spacious homes with a clear layout, many built-in cupboards, and a room-en-suite design that naturally separated living and entertaining spaces.
The bel étage immediately gives a sense of space and light. The high ceilings, original ornaments, and large windows define the character of this level. The finishing is calm and careful: white walls, wooden floors, and subtle colors. Classical elements, such as the fireplace and stucco work, have been preserved and contribute to the ambiance without overpowering it.
The home is well balanced. The original design is still evident in the structure and sight lines but blends seamlessly with a contemporary way of living. From the living room, there is a view of the tree-lined street and the characteristic facades of the block, creating a strong sense of context and cohesion.
A house with clear lines, a classical foundation, and a restrained appearance.
The living floor is located on the first floor and overlooks the Vondelpark at the front. Large windows with French doors bring in plenty of light and provide access to the south-facing balcony, offering excellent natural light throughout the day.
The living room is divided into a seating area at the front and a dining area at the back. The spaces are visually connected, yet clearly distinguished by their layout. At the front, there is space for a sitting area around the fireplace, with a view of the greenery. At the back, the dining area flows into the kitchen.
The kitchen is designed in calm, light colors and is equipped with modern built-in appliances. A central cooking island forms the focal point. The layout is practical and efficient, offering ample workspace and storage. Thanks to the windows at the back, plenty of daylight flows in here as well.
The wooden floor runs throughout the entire floor, creating a sense of continuity between the various spaces. The finishing is calm and well-maintained.
