This creates an elegant living space where light, comfort and cosiness are central - from relaxed reading to cooking and having drinks with friends That same connection continues outside: within walking distance awaits the dynamics of the city, with the Vondelpark, Museumplein and the bustling Leidseplein as cultural extensions of everyday living.
Guided tour
Entrance
The monumental staircase hall, embellished with a two-metre-high stained-glass window that beautifully filters daylight, forms an impressive entrance. Equipped with a wardrobe and marble toilet, the spacious hallway leads you through French doors to the living room. In addition, the hall is cleverly designed and offers a stylish solution with a mezzanine available as additional storage space.
Living room & library
Stretching across the front and rear, the living room is characterised by large floor-to-ceiling windows, letting in a sea of light and overlooking a green grove of trees that provide a picturesque backdrop every season. The room exudes grandeur thanks to high ornamental ceilings, recessed spotlights and a natural stone fireplace with refined feminine sculptural details.
A particular plus is the monumental layout of the living floor, inspired by the classic en-suite layout that was typical of mansions of the era. Whereas modern houses often have an open floor plan, this flat actually combines the historical allure with the spaciousness and light of today - a rare combination rarely realised today.
Another unique detail is the library room with original floor-to-ceiling wall cupboard, dating back to when the property was owned by the Marriott Hotel.
