A PIECE OF HISTORY
Van Eeghenstraat 13 dates back to 1893 and forms part of the original development of this distinctive street. Its elegant façade, generous proportions and decorative details are characteristic of the late nineteenth-century architecture of Amsterdam’s Oud-Zuid district.

LAYOUT
LIVING AREA & OPEN-PLAN KITCHEN
The main living floor is accessed via the property’s private entrance on the raised ground floor. The combination of a private entrance, no upstairs neighbours and a private roof terrace is a rare find in the Concertgebouw neighbourhood. From the moment you enter, it is immediately apparent how thoughtfully the original architecture has been combined with the contemporary renovation.

At the front of the property is the living room, where high ceilings with elaborate ornamental detailing, original panelled doors and stained-glass features define its historic character. A gas fireplace forms an elegant focal point, while tall windows overlook the distinguished Van Eeghenstraat and allow an abundance of natural light to fill the room.

The original en-suite arrangement, complete with built-in cabinetry, connects the living room to the dining room at the rear. This layout allows the two rooms to be used separately or opened up to create one generous living space. At the rear, French doors provide access to a south-facing balcony spanning the full width of the property, with unobstructed views across the leafy inner gardens of Amsterdam-Zuid.

The open-plan kitchen flows seamlessly into the dining area and has been designed in a sophisticated, understated palette of natural materials. Bespoke cabinetry and high-end integrated appliances have been carefully incorporated into the design, including a Gaggenau steam oven and convection oven, as well as a Quooker providing filtered drinking water. Views across the inner gardens further enhance the calm and refined atmosphere of the space.

A continuous Urbanwood herringbone floor connects the various rooms and creates a harmonious sense of unity throughout. Bespoke curtains and sheers by DOLS & Co., together with refined door hardware by Piet Boon, further emphasise the exceptional standard of finish.
This floor also features a separate guest WC, practical storage space and an additional room at the front, ideally suited as a home office or library. A fixed staircase leads to the sleeping floor above.

BEDROOMS & BATHROOMS
The sleeping floor continues the understated elegance of the main living level. Generous proportions, bespoke joinery and carefully selected materials create a calm and sophisticated atmosphere throughout.

At the front, the bedroom extends across almost the entire width of the property. A bespoke walnut wardrobe wall and integrated workspace have been seamlessly incorporated into the architecture, lending warmth and character to the room.

At the rear is the principal bedroom, featuring wide windows with views across the leafy inner gardens. Adjoining the bedroom is a generous dressing room, entirely bespoke and designed with equal attention to functionality and aesthetics. Both bedrooms are equipped with air conditioning.

This floor features two bathrooms, each with its own character while maintaining the same exceptional standard of finish. The principal bathroom has a serene atmosphere and features a freestanding bathtub, a spacious walk-in shower and a bespoke double vanity crafted in Emperador Light marble. Brushed-brass fittings, carefully integrated lighting and the natural veining of the marble lend the space a timeless elegance.

The second bathroom follows the same understated design language and also features a walk-in shower and vanity. The washing machine and dryer are discreetly concealed within bespoke cabinetry, preserving the room’s calm and uncluttered appearance. The separate WC has been finished with the same meticulous attention to materials and detail.

The oak parquet flooring in a herringbone pattern continues throughout both floors, creating a refined sense of unity and natural coherence across the interior. The entire property is equipped with underfloor heating, while a carefully considered lighting scheme makes it possible to create the desired ambience in every room.

AN EXCEPTIONAL OUTDOOR SPACE
Privacy, greenery and views of the Amsterdam skyline come together in an outdoor space of a kind rarely found in this part of the city. Thoughtfully landscaped planting creates a secluded setting in which to enjoy outdoor living in complete privacy throughout the day. The terrace is also equipped with an automatic irrigation system and atmospheric LED lighting.

The unobstructed views extend across the characteristic rooftops of Amsterdam-Zuid, with the iconic towers of the Rijksmuseum and the Concertgebouw forming distinctive landmarks in the distance.

At the heart of the terrace is a sauna, subtly integrated into the design and dedicated entirely to relaxation. An adjoining outdoor shower provides the perfect way to cool down after a sauna session. The roof terrace is also equipped with gas and water connections for an outdoor kitchen, as well as a connection for a jacuzzi.

Together, these features give the roof terrace the feel of a private wellness retreat, while offering every opportunity for elaborate outdoor cooking and dining. An exceptional outdoor space and a rare luxury in the heart of Amsterdam-Zuid.
