The Plantage 22
On one of the most beautiful avenues of the Plantage neighbourhood lies this well-maintained upper residence of approximately 119 m², spread across the third and fourth floors of a characteristic early 20th-century building. The home offers a generous living floor with balcony, two spacious bedrooms, with the possibility to create a third bedroom, a bathroom with both bathtub and walk-in shower, a sunny roof terrace, and several practical storage areas. Situated on a quiet street with leafy trees and at the same time within walking distance of Artis Zoo, the Hortus Botanicus, the Wertheimpark, and various restaurants and cafés. A comfortable and well-arranged residence in a central location in Amsterdam.
On the leafy Plantage Kerklaan stands a carefully renovated 19th-century building, composed of four apartments with a distinctly historic character. The façade is executed in classical Neo-Renaissance style, featuring red brickwork, white stone bands, and finely crafted woodwork. The original layout and detailing have been thoughtfully preserved, enhancing the architectural quality of the whole. The upper residence on the third and fourth floors combines historic charm with contemporary living comfort. The living room spans three windows in width and retains a former en-suite arrangement, creating a refined division of spaces. Sightlines extend across the full depth of the residence, from the street façade to the balcony at the rear, accentuating the sense of openness. The combination of high ceilings, classical proportions, and a clear floor plan results in a harmonious composition. The exterior exudes a representative and refined presence, while the interior is bright, well-structured, and functionally arranged. A characteristic building that offers a sense of tranquillity and continuity within a dynamic urban context.
The third floor is fully dedicated to living and features a clear and functional layout. At the front lies a spacious living room with three large windows and French doors opening onto a balcony. The position on the street side, combined with the mature trees in front of the façade, provides both privacy and a pleasant influx of daylight. Centrally located on the floor is the dining area, generous in size and well positioned between the living room and the kitchen. Its open connection to the rear balcony creates a direct relationship with the outdoors, enhancing both light and spatial experience. The kitchen is situated at the rear and designed in a practical corner arrangement. A neutral finish has been chosen, with white cabinetry, a dark countertop, and a large window above the sink overlooking the inner gardens. Accessible directly from the dining area, the kitchen offers ample workspace and storage. The entire living floor is finished with a herringbone-patterned floor, high skirting boards, and smooth plastered walls. Light flows evenly throughout the floor, while the circulation between the various spaces is logical and pleasant in use.
The fourth floor is arranged with two spacious bedrooms. The principal bedroom is located at the rear and features a built-in wardrobe as well as access to an internal balcony. The second bedroom is positioned at the front and includes a dormer window.
Centrally located on this floor, the bathroom is fitted with a bathtub, separate shower, double washbasin and a designer radiator. In addition, the landing offers a separate laundry room and an internal storage space.
A third bedroom can easily be created, see the alternative floor plan.
At the rear, a balcony is accessible through French doors from the dining area. This west-facing outdoor space offers unobstructed views across the green inner gardens. On the fourth floor, the main bedroom enjoys a second outdoor area: a sunny terrace of approximately 5 m². Here, too, the outlook is green and open, with ample privacy and excellent afternoon and evening sunlight. An inviting place to read the newspaper with a coffee on a “lazy Sunday”.
