Characterful 1920s Family Home with Exceptional South-Facing Garden in Amstelveen

Located on the highly sought-after Catharina van Clevepark in the green and peaceful northern part of Amstelveen, this charming 1920s family home offers a unique combination of character, space and an exceptionally large south-facing garden. Situated on freehold land and overlooking ornamental water, this attractive property enjoys an ideal location close to Amsterdam, the Zuidas business district and the Amsterdamse Bos.

The house retains many original period features that contribute to its warm and authentic atmosphere. These include a beautiful bay window at the front, original interior doors throughout the property and characteristic wall panelling in the hallway and staircase. Over the years, the property has been extended at the rear, creating a spacious and bright family home with a wonderful connection to the garden. The current owners have maintained the traditional elements while ensuring the property meets modern living requirements.

The ground floor layout begins with a front garden that leads to the entrance through a vestibule. The hallway provides access to a separate toilet and meter cupboard before leading into the generous living area. At the front of the house is the inviting sitting room with bay window and pleasant views over the green and quiet street. This room benefits from natural light and offers a peaceful space for relaxation. At the rear, the dining area connects to the modern open-plan kitchen, equipped with various built-in appliances. The rear extension provides additional living space and is currently used as a home office area. French doors open directly onto the garden, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.

The garden is one of the highlights of this home. Despite the rear extension, the property still benefits from a surprisingly large outdoor space measuring approximately 103 square metres with a depth of 18 metres and a width of 5.70 metres. The garden is beautifully positioned facing south and enjoys sunlight throughout the day. Multiple terraces provide options for outdoor dining and relaxation. Mature greenery creates privacy and a pleasant atmosphere. The garden also features rear access, two storage sheds and a charming garden house with studio space that would be ideal as a hobby room, workspace or additional storage. The garden house adds a unique element to the property and offers flexibility for various uses.

The first floor offers three bedrooms, including a spacious principal bedroom at the rear and two additional rooms at the front currently used as a guest room and home office. The first bathroom is also located on this floor and is fitted with a shower, washbasin and toilet. This floor provides comfortable family accommodation with good proportions in all rooms.

The second floor features a generous fourth bedroom with a dormer window and ample storage space. In addition, there is a second bathroom equipped with a bathtub, washbasin, bidet and toilet. A separate laundry and storage room houses the central heating system. This floor layout ensures that a family has flexibility in how the space is used, whether for growing children, guests or home working requirements.

The property has received various improvements over the years. Double glazing has been installed throughout. The property was insulated as part of the Schiphol Insulation Project, and the ground floor has also been insulated. The central heating system is an ATAG gas-fired combination boiler from 2023, which is owned by the sellers. These improvements contribute to the comfort and energy efficiency of the property while retaining its character.

The property is situated in the popular Randwijck neighbourhood in Amstelveen North, which is known as a quiet, green and family-friendly residential area with all amenities close at hand. The Amsterdamse Bos, a large recreational park, is nearby for walking, cycling and outdoor activities. Sports clubs, schools, childcare facilities and shops are all within easy reach. The area is particularly attractive for families with children due to the safe environment and proximity to educational facilities.

Accessibility is excellent from this location. Tram lines 25 and 5 as well as various bus connections are within walking distance, offering direct connections to Amsterdam Zuid station, the Zuidas business district, Amsterdam city centre and the Stadshart shopping centre in Amstelveen. The A9 and A10 motorways are also easily accessible for those who travel by car. This combination of public transport and road connections makes the location practical for commuters working in Amsterdam or the surrounding area.

Parking in the area is through a permit system with paid and public parking options available. This is typical for the Amstelveen area and ensures parking spaces are managed for residents.

The property is offered at an asking price of 1,150,000 euros, which translates to approximately 7,143 euros per square metre of living space. The living area measures 161 square metres according to BBMI measurement standards, and the plot size is 238 square metres. The total volume of the property is 537 cubic metres. External storage space amounts to 17 square metres, which includes the garden buildings.

The delivery date will be agreed upon with the buyer. The sellers will include an age clause in the purchase agreement due to the construction year of 1928. The buyer may choose the notary, with a preference for one located in Amstelveen, Amsterdam or Diemen, and the model purchase contract of the Ring van Notarissen Amsterdam will be used.

This property offers an excellent opportunity for buyers seeking a spacious character home with the possibility to further modernize it to their own taste and style. The combination of period features, generous living space, exceptional garden and excellent location makes this a distinctive property in the Amstelveen housing market.
