De Minerva
Detached living in a green, open environment remains scarce in Amsterdam — which is precisely what makes this southwestern corner of Minervalaan so special. The neighborhood was carefully designed in the 1960s with spacious lots and low-rise buildings, allowing for light, air, and sightlines. The avenue is characterized by detached villas, each with its own signature, making the streetscape both cohesive and varied.
The comfort of living here lies not only in the dimensions, but above all in the quality of the connection between inside and outside. The villa combines living on two levels with a sunny garden, multiple terraces, a swimming pool, and parking on site. The ground floor is remarkably spacious, with an open-plan living area that, in addition to the living room and kitchen, also offers space for a study, media room, and a separate guest house with its own entrance.
The way in which the garden is visually and practically integrated with the interior through large glass doors makes living here particularly pleasant. Every room feels open and light, without compromising on comfort. The Minerva is therefore more than just a comfortable family home; it is a villa that combines functionality and quality of life, in a neighborhood that is increasingly recognized for its quiet, green character.

Amsterdam Zuid has a variety of residential neighborhoods, each with its own rhythm. Minervalaan, in the southwestern corner, stands out for its spacious layout, with villas on large plots and a strikingly varied streetscape. In the 1960s, plots were sold here on which private clients had their own homes designed. The result: an avenue with its own signature, where modernist architecture and individual expression go hand in hand.
From the late 1990s onwards, a new appreciation for this location emerged. Villas were enlarged, modernized, and made more sustainable, without losing sight of their original character. Number has also been further developed in this tradition. In 2015, the original design by architect De Pont was radically revised. What was once a modest home has now become a fully-fledged family home with energy label A, a clear floor plan, and a strong relationship with the garden.
The exterior is understated and timeless, with a carefully balanced façade composition. Whereas the house had previously undergone a less successful modernization, the latest renovation focused on quality and cohesion. The result is a sustainable, comfortable villa with a clear structure, plenty of living space, and a natural connection to the outdoors.
The ground floor covers approximately 240 square meters and has a spacious layout. Large glass fronts provide a direct connection to the garden, terrace, and swimming pool, effortlessly integrating outdoor living into the interior. The feeling of freedom and openness is ever-present here. The kitchen is the central element within the living area: a generous four-and-a-half-meter-long cooking island, clad in marble, invites people to gather. It is a place where cooking and socializing come together. The kitchen is equipped to a semi-professional standard and fitted with Sub-Zero appliances. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room with extra storage space. The living room is designed for multiple functions. There is space for a formal dinner, a spacious sitting area, and both zones are Immediately to the outside. The fireplace is centrally located and forms a warm anchor point within the space. Adjacent to this is a separate study and a separate media room — each with its own atmosphere and function.
The house has five bedrooms and three Bathrooms. On the ground floor, there is a separate room with its own entrance and a compact bathroom. Ideal for guests, an au pair, or a live-in parent.
The sleeping area is practical and clearly laid out. Four Rooms, one of which is used as a dressing room, share two Bathrooms. The master suite is spacious and has two separate dressing rooms, a bedroom with access to the Roof terrace an en-suite bathroom. The layout is generous, with a centrally placed oval bathtub, double walk-in shower, separate toilet, and private sauna. The marble and wood finishes give the space a calm, luxurious look. All rooms are air-conditioned.
The garden is an integral part of the home. Sunny, sheltered, and offering complete privacy, this outdoor space is a pleasant addition to the interior. A wooden deck surrounds the twelve-meter-long swimming pool, providing space to lounge and enjoy the sun. A sunken seating area offers shelter on summer evenings.
There is also a garden at the front and side of the plot, with possibilities for a play area or extra seating. The spacious Roof terrace the open character of the house and offers an extra place to enjoy the sun and the view in peace and quiet.
