Kalfjeslaan 47, Amstelveen
Spacious and energy-efficient living by the water, just a stone’s throw from the Amsterdamse Bos
Situated in a truly exceptional location on the outskirts of Amstelveen, this spacious detached villa (built in 2010) offers approximately 228 m² of living space on a plot of 404 m². The property combines the comfort of a modern new-build – energy label A++ and triple-glazed windows – with an exceptional location right on the water’s edge, offering a lovely unobstructed view. The large garden surrounding the house, measuring over 270 m², extends right down to the water’s edge, featuring a spacious wooden deck where you can simply dangle your feet in the summer. At the same time, you’re just a few minutes’ drive from the Amsterdamse Bos, the Stadshart and Gelderlandplein, and the main roads leading to Amsterdam, the Zuidas and Schiphol. In short: a rare, well-appointed and light-filled family home.
Layout
Ground floor
A well-maintained entrance hall with a cloakroom, a separate toilet and a spacious hall with a staircase, finished with a dark, high-gloss natural stone tiled floor. The living room is light and cosy, with a beautiful oak herringbone floor, tall windows that let in plenty of natural light and French doors leading to the garden. The centrepiece is the freestanding, fully glazed decorative fireplace, which connects the sitting and reading room – featuring a built-in bookcase – to the rest of the living area. Stylish en-suite glass doors lead into the living area, followed by the luxurious open-plan kitchen and dining area: a sleek, high-gloss white handle-free kitchen with a grey composite worktop, a generous cooking island with an induction hob and a ceiling-recessed extractor hood, high-quality built-in appliances and stainless steel sinks. From the kitchen and dining area, you look out over the greenery and the water.
Basement
A private staircase leads down to the basement, measuring approximately 20 m²: a charming, authentic wine cellar with plenty of bottle racks and space for a tasting table – a unique place to store and taste wines. It is equally suitable as an extra storage room or hobby room.
First floor
The landing, accessible via the beautiful staircase with its blue runner, leads to several bedrooms. The spacious master bedroom features its own balcony with unobstructed views over the water, an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower and a wall-mounted washbasin unit, and an adjoining walk-in wardrobe. The fully fitted second bathroom is luxuriously finished with a bath, a spacious separate walk-in shower and a double wall-mounted washbasin unit; there is also a separate toilet. The floor also features two comfortable rooms – perfect for use as children’s or guest bedrooms, or as a home office – and is finished with warm wooden flooring.
Second floor
The top floor is surprisingly spacious and versatile. Here you’ll find a large multi-purpose room with skylights and a lovely workspace in the eaves – ideal as a fourth bedroom, playroom, hobby room or teenager’s room. The separate utility and laundry room is very practical, featuring connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer, the central heating system and plenty of storage cupboards. This room could also be used as a fifth bedroom. The property therefore offers a total of 4 to 5 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms.
Garden and outdoor space
The garden is an experience in itself. On the waterside is a large wooden decking terrace, perfect for following the sun and looking out over the water. On the other side of the house (south side) is a spacious natural stone terrace with plenty of room for a lounge area and a generous dining table, bordered by mature beech hedges that ensure privacy. There is also a detached storage shed, a carport with a charging point and on-site parking. Furthermore, the front garden features a covered area for storing bicycles.
Location
Living on Kalfjeslaan offers the best of both worlds: the tranquillity and greenery of the water and the Amsterdamse Bos, with all the amenities of Amstelveen and Amsterdam within easy reach. The property is situated in a charming, leafy street lined with beautiful villas by the water. The Amsterdamse Bos is within walking and cycling distance, featuring the Bosbaan, cherry blossoms, playgrounds and extensive walking and cycling routes – ideal for families. Nearby you’ll find child-friendly spots such as Boerderij Meerzicht (pancakes and a large playground), the Ridammerhoeve goat farm and cosy forest pavilions with spacious terraces. For shopping, dining and culture, you’re just a short distance from the Stadshart of Amstelveen, beautifully situated on the waterfront and lined with blossoming cherry trees in spring. The area also boasts excellent (international) schools. Thanks to direct links to the A9 and A10 motorways, Schiphol, the Zuidas and the centre of Amsterdam are all within easy reach.
