The Agency proudly presents this practically laid-out family home (approx. 137m² NEN measured) featuring a sunny, wide garden with a modern garden house. The property was completely renovated under architectural supervision in 2017, and you can feel it: the atmosphere, finish, and layout are perfectly balanced.
Located on one of the most beautiful avenues in Amsterdam South, the chic Minervalaan, this charming ground-floor residence offers a fantastic, child-friendly east-facing garden. By Amsterdam standards, the garden is quite spacious, providing ample room for a fully insulated, multifunctional garden house—perfect as a home office or even as an extra (guest) bedroom.
Upon entering, you are immediately struck by the very spacious and bright entrance (formerly a bedroom), which creates a welcoming and pleasant first impression. There is plenty of space for coats and shoes, and even room for a work nook. From here, you enter the generous and characterful square hallway, a hallmark of homes on the Minervalaan. This central hallway provides access to all rooms, including the original en-suite room. The en-suite, which can be closed off, has a cozy atmosphere and is divided into a living area at the front and a spacious, stylish kitchen/diner at the rear. The kitchen features French doors that open directly to the garden, seamlessly connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces.
The kitchen truly deserves the title of “kitchen/diner”! There’s plenty of space for a large table where you can enjoy meals with family and friends, with the garden as an extension. On sunny days, step outside in the morning or fire up the BBQ in the evening. The garden is a peaceful oasis with a charming pergola, surrounded by beautiful greenery and mature trees. This garden offers endless possibilities—ideal for gardening enthusiasts and families alike. The current owners have placed a trampoline in addition to the garden house, and the garden remains spacious and sunny.
Waking up to the sound of birds and a gentle breeze coming through the open French doors, all while living in the heart of Amsterdam? It’s possible here! The master bedroom is quietly located at the back of the house and features a spacious, custom-built wardrobe for all your clothing.
The second bedroom, also at the rear, used to be the kitchen but has been transformed into a cozy, fully functional room with a view of the garden. The third bedroom at the front is generous in size—big enough for two children!
The centrally located bathroom is stylish and practical, featuring a large walk-in shower, a second floating toilet, and a wide vanity unit with double sinks.
