Description
Unique is softly pronounced. A fantastic property for those looking for exclusivity with a special character in the heart of Amsterdam.
In a place you'd really rather keep secret lies this modern and very exclusive villa. Due to its free location and unique design, this 5-room villa can be called very surprising. The arched beams from its original life as a woodshop add architectural elements to this loft-like home along with the concrete floors, tall front windows, and large skylights in the almost 4m high ceilings. This home is designed for entertaining, yet without compromising on storage, spaces to work, or style. Truly one of a kind home in the middle of Amsterdam that is close to transportation links, boasts a great VVE, and private parking for rent right across the street.
LAYOUT
Through a private front door from the Govert Flinckstraat and by means of your own corridor, you reach the spacious garden and the entrance to the house via a staircase and a wooden door. It is amazing to walk through the hall from the lively ‘De Pijp’ and enter the quiet, peaceful and private garden where this spacious house stands. Tucked away from the noise and busy city life, the house is a private oasis of circa 160 m2 on one floor. Through the hallway with large wardrobe, you enter the bright, spacious living room. The high ceilings with skylights, tranquillity, space and views of the beautifully landscaped garden make you forget you are in Amsterdam. The living room has a fan that provides cooling in summer. Adjacent to the living room is the open kitchen, which of course has all modern conveniences: a sink island, a bar, dishwasher, fridge-freezer (3 drawers), oven, microwave, induction hob, extractor and plenty of storage space. Adjacent to the living room is an elongated (bedroom) room with access to the garden, which the current occupants use as a study/work room. The entire house has a concrete floor with underfloor heating and recessed spotlights.
All beams in the house are original, the rest of the house was completely renewed in 2018.
Through the eye-catching wooden sliding doors, you reach the back of the house. The spacious bright, high hall with skylights gives access to the washing machine and CV room, the toilet with hand basin and an extra room now used as a TV room. This is a lovely place to retreat and relax after a long day. The remaining 3 doors give access to 2 bedrooms and the bathroom. The bathroom has a walk-in shower with rain shower, a washbasin with 2 taps, a toilet and a towel radiator. The largest bedroom has a wardrobe wall across the entire width of the room. Behind 1 of the closet doors is a nice surprise via a small staircase, an extra room that can be used as an extra study/work area. Underneath this entire space is a storage area that can be reached by sliding away the little staircase. The other spacious bedroom also has a built-in wardrobe. Both bedrooms have air conditioning and skylights with electric window coverings.
