Architecture
The houses in the popular Hoofddorpplein neighborhood were built in the early 20th century, around 1935. This was a period when the city expanded from the canal belt towards the Haarlemmermeer polders. The construction is recognizable by the typical en-suite rooms, built-in closets, and traditional room layout. The houses in the Hoofddorpplein neighborhood are actually like the younger siblings of the 1900s construction in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid. De Abbenes was completely renovated in 2023 and 2024, with the layout and floor plan optimized. The thoughtful distribution of spaces gives the house a very spacious feel and a beautiful connection to the garden.
Living and cooking
The luxurious and modern kitchen is one of the eye-catchers of the house. There is a tall section with plenty of cabinet space and appliances. The kitchen island fits nicely into the space, featuring a natural color scheme and a bar area. The living room spans the width of the garden and is divided into a dining area near the kitchen and a seating area. The large windows and skylight provide the space with an abundance of natural light.
Sleeping and bathing
De Abbenes features three very spacious bedrooms, each with its own luxurious bathroom. The bathrooms are finished in rustic grey stone combined with elegant matte black accents. The master bedroom is located on the garden side and has large sliding doors to the veranda.
The garden
Across the entire width of the house lies the beautifully landscaped garden of over 146 m². The wooden veranda creates a lovely connection between the living area and the garden. The sunny garden has exceptional dimensions, is carefully designed, and features real grass, an atmospheric black wooden fence, and lighting.
