The Lion
Cycling through Van Eeghenlaan, this property immediately stands out, being more elaborately constructed than its neighbors and conspicuous as the middle of a trio. The house is the only one which is not divided into several apartments. Warmly welcomed by the residents, we are given an extensive tour of the house, where luxury and thoughtful modifications enhance the living experience. The location is ideal for families: central, near Vondelpark, and peacefully situated on a street without through traffic, making it a tranquil place to live.
After the tour, I can conclude that this is the perfect Amsterdam family home in Oud Zuid.
Designvision
The residential house was built in 1891. The original building plan included three houses on Van Eeghenlaan, comprising plots 14, 15, and 16. The archives refer to it as a triplet house. This house is the middle one and the showpiece of the three. For a long time, the building consisted of a ground floor and an upper apartment, remnants of which can be seen in the double doors on the blueprints. Since 2001, the apartments have been merged, creating a single-family home. Then, in 2017, there was another major renovation, involving changes to facades, kitchens, bathrooms, plumbing, and the staircase. This resulted in a beautiful void in the vestibule, creating a unique entrance. The current residents purchased it in 2020 and have put the finishing touches, including adjusting colors and installing air conditioning.
Now, a modern family home has emerged within a beautiful old shell, from the Neo-Renaissance style that emerged around 1875. This style emphasizes symmetry, proportion, and the use of architectural details such as pilasters, pediments, and moldings. Houses in this style often exhibit elaborately decorated facades, incorporating elements such as brickwork, string courses, and cornices.
Living and cooking
Main floor
On the main floor, there is a lovely front room with recessed built-in radiators, creating a big dining area by the large windows. Charming elements from the early 20th century, like the gas fireplace and an ornate ceiling, give this space a unique ambiance. The kitchen spans the entire width of the house and has a four-seasons facade that can be fully opened. This creates a unique indoor space that seamlessly transitions to a deep balcony on the sunny south side. The kitchen features a large work island with an electric cooktop, a dining area, and high-quality appliances such as a Liebherr refrigerator and a stylish wide oven. The herringbone floor and recessed lighting complement the overall design.
Stylish ground level
The ground level of this home is equipped with built-in closets under the stairs, a guest toilet, and a soundproof glass portal for added privacy. The multimedia room with underfloor heating provides space for a workstation, table football, and an audio and TV lounge. The space features a sleek grey floor with underfloor heating and a beautiful white Makkum wood stove. There is also a four-seasons facade here, leading to the sunny south-facing garden, where a big terrace table provides seating for more than 6 people.
Sleeping and bathing
The first floor
The first floor features a study with French doors opening onto a south-facing balcony. A beautiful herringbone floor extends throughout the entire floor, along with a separate toilet with sand-colored tiles. The master bedroom on this floor features an ensuite bathroom with double sink and a spacious shower as well as a dressing room. It is further equipped with a freestanding bath tub. A French balcony at the front and air conditioning complete this space. The second bedroom at the rear of this floor also has French doors leading to the balcony, air conditioning, and a generous height.
The second floor
On the second floor, there is a bedroom with two Velux skylights, a bay window, air conditioning, and built-in closets. The landing houses the washer, dryer, and mechanical ventilation. The back room also has air conditioning, built-in closets, and an original fireplace. The tidy bathroom for these rooms features gray tiles, a ceramic bathroom vanity from Ceram. Additionally, there is a walk-in shower and a separate toilet with a fountain with the sand-colored tiles matching the style. The staircase is tastefully finished with wood, accentuating the black stairs beautifully.
The backyard, the rooftop terrace, and balconies
Roof Terrace with Panoramic View
The spacious rooftop terrace of approximately 41 m² offers stunning 360° views of Amsterdam Zuid and the Vondelpark and features a jacuzzi, 6 solar panels, and a bakehouse. The high-quality steel fencing ensures safety, while the roof house is equipped with an alarm, recessed lighting, and a Wi-Fi amplifier for excellent internet. The fixed staircase leads to the top floor, where the staircase forms a cohesive whole with a combination of black wood and light wood paneling on the walls.
Garden
The south-facing garden of approximately 23 m² is easily accessible from the ground level. When opening the four-season façade, the indoors and outdoors become one, making the garden an extension of the multimedia room. Surrounded by tall trees, the garden offers complete privacy.
Balconies
On the ground floor and attached to the kitchen, there is a deep and wide balcony with the unique feature of an outdoor braai. Also on this level, a four-season façade allows the indoors and outdoors to become one. The first floor features a sunny south-facing balcony, providing direct access from both rooms at the rear.
