We were the very first residents.
The location is pleasant and quiet, with a view of two beautiful chestnut trees on the street side. This gives the location a connection to nature.
The street is very quiet, with no through traffic, yet it’s so close to shops and museums. For our family of musicians, the Concertgebouw was the stage where we had the privilege of performing in concerts and events for many years, and it’s only about 200 meters away. We have a special music room with extra soundproofing, although no one can hear us playing and no one has ever complained.
The neighborhood has good schools nearby and, of course, the well-known shopping streets are within walking distance [Cornelis Schuyt and PC Hooftstraat].
The spacious terrace balcony is a great place to relax; it’s quiet there too because it’s secluded, and when the weather is nice, there’s always a sunny spot in the morning and afternoon.
The house is on a corner, so it has plenty of windows, but it’s on the second floor, ensuring privacy. The corner bedroom, in particular, has wonderful natural light and a beautiful view.
The kitchen is spacious without taking up any extra space in the very spacious living room. Then there’s the double indoor parking spot—so convenient in the heart of Amsterdam
All in all, we hope to find these qualities in our new home. We wish the new residents all the best in their new home!
