La Maison Vondel
We are proud to present this exceptional lower-level residence on Vondelstraat, one of Amsterdam’s most sought-after addresses. Rarely does a property become available that so seamlessly unites the character of a historic building with the comfort and elegance of a high-quality renovation.
This three-level residence of approx. 189 m² has been completely redesigned under the direction of House of Morgan, with no detail left to chance. The result is a home where bespoke design and refinement converge: a serene urban oasis with a private garden, balcony, and an internal lift connecting all floors.
We warmly invite you to experience the unique atmosphere and craftsmanship of this remarkable property for yourself.
Architecture
The property on Vondelstraat was designed in 1871 by architect P.J.H. Cuypers, one of the most influential master builders of the nineteenth century. Cuypers, renowned for the Rijksmuseum and Central Station, left an indelible mark on Amsterdam’s cityscape with his designs. This townhouse also clearly bears his signature: a blend of craftsmanship, refinement, and carefully considered aesthetics. The façade displays a balanced symmetry in red brick, accentuated by natural stone details such as drip mouldings and keystones. Vertical rows of windows, lofty ceilings, and richly executed ornamentation lend the home a stately presence. Wrought-iron balconies add lightness and elegance to the composition, while the ornate cornice and distinctive gable crown underline its classical grandeur.
This house embodies the eclectic style in which Cuypers excelled: a sophisticated fusion of Neoclassical and Neo-Renaissance elements, meticulously applied to combine beauty and representational grandeur with domestic comfort. As such, the property is not only a home but also a tangible piece of Amsterdam’s architectural history.
Wining and Dining
Through the representative communal entrance, featuring a ceiling-high glass-and-steel door, the residence is entered. The hallway, complete with guest restroom, leads to the main living floor where elegance and comfort converge. At the garden side lies the custom-designed kitchen with cooking island, bar seating, and an integrated dining alcove. Light oak cabinetry combined with a solid Calacatta Viola marble worktop lends the space an exclusive character. High-end appliances by Gaggenau, complemented by a Siemens fridge-freezer, make the kitchen both complete and future-proof. A wide steel-framed sliding door opens onto the meticulously landscaped city garden of approx. 35 m²—an extension of the living space.
At the front is the living room, defined by generous windows overlooking the Freemasons’ building. Flooded with daylight, the room features refined wall finishes and a warm oak herringbone floor. The staircase connecting all levels, crafted in glass, steel, and wood, stands as an architectural statement in its own right.
Rest and Refresh
The first floor is accessed via a generous landing and offers two stylish bedrooms along with several amenities. At the front is a bedroom with bespoke cabinetry and an elegant vanity in light oak, finished with a solid Calacatta Viola marble washbasin. A walk-in shower with both rain and hand shower completes the suite. At the rear, the primary bedroom spans the full width of the property and features a walk-in wardrobe, sleeping area, and French doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the leafy inner gardens. The open-plan bathroom creates a serene spa-like setting, with a freestanding oval bathtub, double washbasins in Calacatta Viola marble, and a spacious walk-in shower. This floor also includes two separate toilets and a practical laundry room.
The souterrain is arranged around a central landing with built-in storage and a separate toilet, providing access to two full-sized bedrooms. Each bedroom is equipped with its own bathroom, finished with a light oak vanity, solid marble washbasin, and a spacious walk-in shower with both rain and hand shower. The entire residence is superbly insulated and fitted with an oak herringbone floor with underfloor heating, ensuring a consistent sense of comfort and elegance throughout.
Garden and balcony
Through the wide steel-framed sliding doors, one enters the beautifully landscaped city garden of approx. 35 m². This green outdoor space, oriented to the northwest, has been carefully designed with a mix of ornamental planting and a generous terrace, creating an intimate and sheltered atmosphere. It serves as an extension of the kitchen-dining area, perfect for long summer evenings or a quiet moment in the open air.
On the first floor, the primary bedroom enjoys a balcony overlooking the leafy inner gardens. The combination of tranquillity, privacy, and expansive views makes this balcony a true retreat, where the urban surroundings give way to a lush, green backdrop.
Bootcamping. Picnicking. Dipping your toes in the water. In Vondelpark, it’s all possible. This is the city’s green heart, where everyone comes together and differences of status or background fade away. The sun-drenched terrace of the Renaissance-style Vondelpark Pavilion, now Café Vertigo, remains a wonderful spot for drinks or dinner. In the immediate surroundings you’ll find neighbourhoods like the Helmersbuurt and Eerste Constantijn Huygensstraat—lively, charming, and rich in amenities. For a morning cappuccino, there’s De Koffiesalon, while Lunchroom Wilhelmina or Vlaams Broodhuys are ideal for a relaxed lunch. A little further, in Bosboom Toussaintstraat, the culinary offerings rise in quality: from refined Italian at De Italiaan, to the intimate Gertrude, and a local favourite—Café Restaurant Pastis. Lovers of fine products will delight in bookshop Premsela, wine boutique Vleck Wijnen, or the flower-filled Arjan’s. A bit further towards the park lies the iconic Americain Hotel—a place for an exclusive coffee, steeped in history and stories from generations of guests. For culture and film, De Balie and Cinecenter at Leidseplein are within walking distance. From this cultural hub, you can stroll straight into the Nine Streets. Cross Vondelpark southwards and you’ll arrive at the international fashion houses of P.C. Hooftstraat and the refined speciality shops of Cornelis Schuytstraat—where the blooms of Menno Kroon are the radiant centrepiece.
