Prins Hendriklaan 18

Prins Hendriklaan 18, Amsterdam

A fully renovated family townhouse of approximately 475 m² on freehold land, with a sunny front and back garden in the heart of Amsterdam-Zuid

Located om the Prins Hendriklaan, one of the most sought-after avenues in Amsterdam-Zuid, stands this fully renovated family townhouse dating from 1907, with approximately 475 m² of living space on freehold land. The current owner recently carried out a complete architect-led renovation, in which historic details have been thoughtfully and seamlessly blended with contemporary comfort. The house has a new foundation and an entirely newly built basement level, and offers a standard of finish rarely found in this segment. Fully insulated and rated energy label A. Spread across five storeys, the house offers five bedrooms, four bathrooms, a full parents' suite, a lift, a cinema room, a playroom, and the — for Oud-Zuid exceptional — combination of a sunny front garden and a deep back garden. The Vondelpark, the Cornelis Schuytstraat and several renowned schools are all within walking distance.

Layout

Ground floor
You enter the house through the monumental front door via a natural stone stoop. The inviting entrance hall features natural stone wainscoting and a warm tiled floor, with elegant pivoting steel-and-glass doors that carry the view straight through to the garden. The generous open-plan kitchen forms the central room of this floor and is finished in a refined shade of grey, with a large kitchen island, a countertop of warm dark brown marble, designer taps, a Viking range with double oven, high-end Gaggenau appliances and a wine fridge. At the front, the bay window offers space for a large dining table with a built-in bench seat and a view over the front garden. An integrated pantry completes the dining area. The space flows on into the living room at the garden side, with a ceiling height of almost three metres (rising to just over 3.2 metres), oak floorboards and a sleek gas fireplace. There is room here for two seating areas. The impressive sliding doors connect the living room seamlessly with the large terrace and back garden. A convenient service lift links this floor with all the other levels. The service lift can easily be converted into a passenger lift.

First floor
The entire first floor has been designed as a private suite. The generous main bedroom is characterised by a bespoke upholstered wall panel behind the bed, an ambient fireplace and French doors opening onto the balcony with a view over the broad avenue. Adjoining it is a spacious dressing room with a made-to-measure wall of wardrobes, a central wardrobe island and a practical built-in bench. The en-suite bathroom is also finished in dark brown marble and offers a freestanding bath, a spacious walk-in shower, a double washstand and a separate toilet.

Second floor
An ideal floor for children or guests. Here you will find two generous bedrooms, each with a complete bathroom and its own walk-in wardrobe with integrated storage — comfort and privacy for growing children or visitors. This floor provides access to a terrace, oriented towards the afternoon and evening sun.

Third floor
Beneath the characteristic roofline are two light-filled bedrooms with exposed wooden beams and skylights, flexible enough to use as a bedroom, office or fitness room. This floor also has a complete bathroom with a walk-in shower, a washstand and a toilet, as well as a practical separate utility room housing the central heating system and ample storage. This floor gives access to a second roof terrace with sweeping views over the rooftops of Zuid and a glimpse of the Rijksmuseum.

Basement
Finally, the house features a special additional level: the entirely newly built basement. A handsome staircase takes you down to this versatile floor, which receives natural light via a patio and light well. At the front is a full home cinema/media room. At the garden side is a generous play, hobby or family room with direct access to the garden. This level also includes a handy pantry, a guest toilet and three spacious, practical storage rooms. One of the storage rooms is prepared for an additional bathroom and for washing machine connections, meaning this floor also lends itself perfectly to use as guest accommodation or an au pair suite, if desired. A versatile floor that adapts easily to changing living requirements.

Garden and outdoor space
What sets this house apart from virtually every other townhouse in Oud-Zuid is the exceptional amount of outdoor space. The combination of a south-facing front garden of approximately 40 m², a northwest-facing back garden of approximately 55 m² with afternoon and evening sun, a balcony and two roof terraces is rare in this segment. The garden offers room for several seating areas and a play zone for children. A genuine urban oasis has been created here, with a large multi-level wooden deck; mature ivy and tall hedges give the garden a sense of seclusion and calm, right in the middle of the city. A rare amount of outdoor space for a townhouse in Oud-Zuid.

Location
Prins Hendriklaan is one of the most sought-after addresses in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid: a broad, tree-lined avenue with stately townhouses, quiet yet central. The Cornelis Schuytstraat, the Museumplein, the Vondelpark and several renowned (international) schools are all within walking or cycling distance. Accessibility is excellent: the Zuidas business district, Amsterdam Zuid railway station, the A10 ring road and Schiphol Airport are all just minutes away, while the city centre is a short cycle ride from home. In short: a place where city life and family life come together.
