Light and pleasant upper duplex of 123 m² with a spacious living room with a fireplace, dining room, and a beautiful kitchen. On the top floor, there are two bedrooms of common dimensions, a spacious bathroom with daylight, and a sunny rooftop terrace. The style features of this sought-after period are present, such as a beautiful en-suite, architraves around the panel doors, and, of course, the generous floor height. The fireplace, wooden floor, and steel profiles create a cozy apartment with an atmosphere. The location in Zuid (South) is excellent, near the British School of Amsterdam and the Vondelpark. The VvE (Owners' Association) has recently been established, and the apartment is located on private land.
Tour
The entrance to this apartment is on the second floor. On the third floor, there is a landing with a guest toilet and access to the kitchen and the dining area. The kitchen is spacious with a sink and preparation area and a cooking area opposite. Here, there is a five-burner gas stove and oven. The dining area is drawn into the kitchen with a large opening in the wall. During meals, the doors to the French balcony can be opened. The en-suite with cabinets on both sides is the transition to the seating area by the fireplace and the side room. What is remarkable is the delightful view of the treetops from the living room and the balcony at the front. This makes the whole airy and a pleasant place to stay. The side room can be closed off with an elegant sliding door in matte steel with glass.
The bedrooms are upstairs and are both of a good size. The front bedroom is used as a spinning room, and the main bedroom is adjacent to the rooftop terrace. The bathroom has a large window, a walk-in shower, a double sink, and there is a toilet. An easily accessible sunny rooftop terrace of 20 m² completes the picture.
Neighborhood
At the end of the 19th century, as the city center of Amsterdam became increasingly crowded, there was a need for a green neighborhood close to the center. In 1881, architect Zocher designed Willemspark, now better known as Vondelpark. A few decades later, the first villas arose there, around the ponds. Stately buildings in classical architectural styles welcomed families to this quieter and greener part of the city.
The grandeur of that time is still intact. Both the residents and the culinary offerings of Vlaamsch Broodhuys, chocolatier Linnick, greengrocer Wessels, Michelin-starred restaurant Ron Gastrobar, and the French fish restaurant VISQUE give the residential neighborhood its contemporary allure. Located between Vondelpark, De Lairessestraat, and Amstelveenseweg – with the Museum Quarter within walking distance – this is an ideal corner of Amsterdam to live, where relaxation and inspiration are always close by.

Loman 72
The Lomanstraat is known for its old stately plane trees that grow towards the light. The upper houses therefore have a beautiful view into the treetops, which I find quite special. The type of apartment over one two-thirds floor is popular, mainly because it is so light and there are many possibilities to open windows and doors. Also, the rooftop terrace, which is already shown on the initial floor plan, is a reason why people like to live here.
This apartment has recently been equipped with new frames with double glazing, done with good detailing and attention to detail, making it not immediately noticeable. So, it’s a subtly elegant renovation. The width of 6.77 is striking, with the side room and kitchen measuring 2.87, allowing for various layout options. All in all, it is a beautifully and spaciously designed living floor. I find this layout reflected upstairs in the bathroom and the two bedrooms.
The easily accessible rooftop terrace is the crowning jewel; it is sunny and offers privacy. With a good access door, it is easily reachable, and in the summer, the sun shines until late in the evening.

Architecture
Towards the end of the 19th century, there was a need for a new way of building. The era of repetition, where historical forms were repeatedly relied upon, had to come to an end. The period of Art Nouveau, also known as Jugendstil, emerges. Characteristic of this style period are the rich, curly decorations that you immediately recognize with nature-inspired forms, such as lush depictions of flowers and birds, which were handmade. Entire buildings were adorned with these decorations, both on the exterior and interior. In Amsterdam, shops used these ornaments mainly to create a sense of luxury. The Lomanstraat dates back to the early twentieth century, and this building was constructed in 1913. The width and the round bays incorporated into the facade are notable. The balcony railings with beautiful wrought ironwork are an example of a detail from the Renaissance period. The building was first divided in 1995, creating two apartments: a two-story lower house and a three-story upper house. Later, a modification was made, and the three-story upper house was split into two residences. This was documented in the 1997 amendment to the division, stating that access was provided on the second floor.

Living and cooking
The living room is situated in the front part of the en-suite. The fireplace, oak floor, and French doors leading to the balcony at the front create a bright and cozy atmosphere. The plane trees in front are a recurring element. As the apartment is located on the upper floors, there is always an abundance of light.
The spacious side room can be closed off with a sturdy sliding door, preserving the line of sight. The exquisite ceiling decorations, along with the original door frames, lend these spaces a refined ambiance.
The kitchen and dining area are connected by a niche between the kitchen and the rear part of the en-suite. The kitchen features natural stone countertops and is executed in chic white. Ceramic tiles on the floor complement the countertops. The dining table by the French balcony at the rear is large enough to host a cozy dinner for eight people.

The balcony and rooftop terrace
On the living floor, there is a French balcony at the rear with French doors and a balcony at the front. It’s delightful to open both of them on beautiful days, creating a seamless connection to the outdoors.
The terrace enjoys abundant sunlight and is spacious at 20 m². There is ample space for plants, a table, and a lounge sofa.
