outdoor space
The Rear garden approximately 132 m² faces west and therefore offers plenty of sun in the afternoon and evening. This garden is beautifully landscaped and features several terraces. The garden has various types of plants, from evergreens to flowering shrubs and trees. Due to its depth and width, this garden offers both privacy and the opportunity to enjoy the sun to the fullest.
The building
This stately former city villa was designed in 1869 by architect Johan Heinrich Schmitz (1821–1891) for the J.H. Doths family. Few other buildings by this architect are known, but he was known for his tendency to go overboard with ornamentation.
An interesting fact is that in 1874 he created a design for the Concertgebouw, but the current design was preferred.
In 1880, it was known that the ridge was slightly raised, and in 1970, the building was converted into offices for British Petroleum, which remained there until the mid-1990s. It was then transformed into four apartments in 1996, which is how it is still used today. Due to the renovation in 1970, there were no longer any old style features in the building, so four modern apartments could be created that are extremely pleasant to use and live in.
neighborhood
The apartment is located in a sought-after residential neighborhood: right in the historic heart of Amsterdam, but away from the tourist crowds.
The area is characterized by stately houses, built during the World's Fair in 1883—a period beautifully described in Thomas Rosenboom's novel Publieke Werken (Public Works). Utrecht Street offers a high-quality and diverse selection of boutiques, caterers, restaurants, shops, coffee shops, and terraces.
Accessibility
The central location in the city is very convenient. There are several escape routes by car and it is easy to reach. The entire city is easily accessible by bicycle. The neighborhood borders De Pijp on one side—with the Albert Cuyp market within walking distance—and Oost on the other. Via the tram and metro stop on Weesperstraat, both Central Station and Amstel Station can be reached within 10 minutes.
Parking at
Parking is available through a permit system. There are several parking garages in the vicinity, with units available For Sale rent. Public transportation stops at Weteringschans and Wibautstraat. From there, there are direct connections to Central Station and Schiphol Airport.
