The property features a frontage of over 12 meters, large windows on both sides, direct elevator access into the apartment, and multiple outdoor spaces.
Ideally located near Cornelis Schuytstraat, Vondelpark, and Beethovenstraat, this apartment combines tranquility, comfort, and high-quality urban living in the heart of the city.
Van Breestraat 182 A is part of a carefully redeveloped double townhouse, located in the distinguished Oud-Zuid district.
In 2009, under the direction of Steenvastgoed, four high-quality apartments were created within the original structure. The characteristic early 20th-century façades have been preserved, while the interiors were completely renewed and adapted to contemporary living standards.
This apartment occupies the entire first floor and is directly accessible by elevator. The layout is both efficient and spacious, with a frontage of over twelve meters and clear sightlines running throughout the home. Large windows and ceiling heights up to 2.8 meters provide abundant natural light and a sense of openness.
The finish is sleek and modern, with a calm foundation of white plastered walls, a herringbone floor, and custom-built cabinetry. The blend of classic exterior elements and contemporary interior comfort gives the home a timeless and sophisticated character.
The main living floor offers a spacious layout with clearly defined zones for living, cooking, and relaxing. At the front of the apartment is the sitting area, featuring large windows and French doors that open onto the south-facing balcony. This space is filled with natural light and offers a pleasant view of the leafy Van Breestraat.
Centrally located is a second lounge area with a built-in gas fireplace. This versatile space can easily serve as a TV room or home office.
At the rear, the open-plan kitchen connects to the dining area. The kitchen features a white high-gloss finish, a central island with breakfast bar, a gas cooktop with integrated extractor, and built-in Miele appliances. French doors from the dining area lead to the northwest-facing balcony.
The spaces have been carefully designed and harmoniously connected, with a white herringbone floor, tall baseboards, and a neutral color palette throughout.
The primary bedroom is located at the rear and provides direct access to the northwest-facing balcony. The room is generously proportioned and features a custom built-in wardrobe spanning the full length of the wall.
Adjacent is the en-suite bathroom, equipped with a bathtub, walk-in shower, double washbasin, and a separate toilet. The finish is modern and neutral.
At the front of the apartment, a second room is available that can be used as an additional bedroom or study.
At the rear, the apartment offers a terrace that enjoys afternoon and evening sun, accessible from both the dining area and the bedroom. Overlooking a green inner courtyard, this terrace is spacious enough for a comfortable seating arrangement.
At the front are two French balconies, accessible via French doors from the living room. These south-facing balconies overlook a quiet, tree-lined street.
The combination of sun exposure, privacy, and greenery makes the outdoor areas both functional and inviting.
Two centuries ago, the site where Museumplein now stands was still farmland. In the early 20th century, construction of the Museum Quarter began to create more housing. The influence of architect Pierre Cuypers is evident—he designed both the first residential buildings and the Neo-Gothic Rijksmuseum. This period is beautifully portrayed in Publieke Werken by Thomas Rosenboom.
The neighborhood’s character is also defined by the Neo-Renaissance Concertgebouw, and later, the arrival of the Van Gogh Museum introduced the modernist architecture of Gerrit Rietveld to the area.
The local offering of restaurants, cafés, and shops is as eclectic as the area’s architectural styles and perfectly matches the international appeal of the district. Haute couture enthusiasts will find top fashion houses such as Burberry, Ba&sh, and Isabel Marant Étoile in the nearby P.C. Hooftstraat.
One of the great advantages of this neighborhood is its location: the city center, De Pijp, Amsterdam Zuid, and the Vondelpark are all within walking distance.
Accessibility
Van Breestraat is ideally located near Cornelis Schuytstraat, Willemsparkweg, and De Lairessestraat. All amenities—specialty stores, quality shops, restaurants, and the Vondelpark—are within easy walking distance.
The property is well served by public transport, with several tram and bus stops nearby. The A10 ring road can be reached within minutes via exits S108 or S106.
