A rich history in a prestigious location
Koningslaan 54 is part of a characteristic row of villas and mansions built in the late 19th century during the development of the Vondelpark area into an upmarket residential area for Amsterdam's elite. The villa itself, designed by renowned architect Jan Frederik Staal, dates from around 1911 and is a beautiful example of the architectural style of the time, with high ceilings, large windows and refined facade ornamentation. This historic atmosphere is still palpable, despite the complete modernisation the property has undergone.
Four years of craftsmanship - a mansion reborn
Over the past four years, this imposing mansion has been completely rebuilt and transformed from its bare structure. In the process, utmost care has been taken to ensure a total renovation at the highest level. The villa is fully equipped with all modern conveniences and technical installations appropriate to the present time. Only high-quality and durable materials have been used. Think customised interiors, a very luxurious kitchen and bathrooms, underfloor heating and excellent sound insulation. Everything is new, but preserving the character of the building.
A green oasis around the house
Surrounding the villa is a beautifully landscaped garden extending to the front, side and rear of the plot. Designed with an eye for aesthetics and functionality, the garden offers a suitable place to enjoy peace and privacy at any time of day. As the garden is oriented to both south, east and west, you will enjoy the sun all day long - from the first morning light to the last rays of the sun in the evening. At the front, greenery provides a stately entrance, while the side provides a fine transition between indoors and outdoors. At the rear is a sheltered garden with several terraces and a beautiful wooden jetty, directly bordering the water. An idyllic spot to unwind in the middle of the city.
Layout - grandeur, light and comfort
Ground floor: The villa's main entrance is at the front and gives access to an impressive, high reception hall. This hall features a stained-glass ceiling and matching windows, providing wonderful light and a characteristic atmosphere. The monumental fireplace, wooden panelling and stately staircase enhance the classic feel of this room. Throughout the house, high ceilings create a sense of space and elegance.
From the hall, you enter the spacious sitting room with large dining area. This elegant living space is surrounded by high windows overlooking the Vondelpark, offering not only plenty of daylight but also complete privacy and beautiful green views. A door leads to a spacious balcony at the rear.
Sliding doors lead into the spacious dining kitchen, also with plenty of windows and enchanting views of the park's trees. The kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, a light natural stone worktop and custom-made walnut cabinets. The spacious kitchen island is the beating heart of this space - a cosy spot for family moments, drinks or cooking together. An attractive bay window next to the kitchen not only offers beautiful views of the garden, but also direct access via stairs to the outside.
Through sliding doors, the kitchen is connected to a separate sitting or playroom at the front of the villa. Thanks to the many windows on the side of the house, truly every room in the house is flooded with light - the sun finds its way in from all sides, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere at any time of day.
Garden floor - guest house, wellness and gym
A second and third entrance is located on the garden floor, as well as a fully independent guest house. This guest house has its own entrance, a comfortable sitting room with preparations for a kitchen, a separate bedroom and a luxurious en suite bathroom. Ideal for guests, an au pair or as a quiet workspace.
Adjacent is the exclusive wellness area, designed as a serene retreat in its own home. The wellness features an infinity pool with jet stream, a sauna, a hammam and a separate shower room. At the rear, ceiling-high harmonica doors open fully onto the wooden terrace, allowing the indoor space to flow seamlessly into the greenery of the garden and Vondelpark.
Next to the wellness is a generous gym area, separated by a large glass wall. This creates one large space where rest, sport and relaxation come together.
Also on this floor is a separate laundry room with connections for a washer and dryer. This extra facility is particularly convenient near the pool, so towels and swimwear can be washed and dried directly on site - practical and convenient.

They are a unique and artistic element that makes this bathroom a special experience.
