Bright, stylish, and spacious family home on the waterfront
Located on a quiet, tree-lined avenue in Amstelveen, this exceptionally bright and tastefully renovated home offers unobstructed views of the water. The property underwent a complete renovation and expansion in 2016, beautifully blending its 1950s character with contemporary, high-quality finishes.
With a spacious living area, three large bedrooms (with the potential for four), two bathrooms, a deep front and back yard, and a detached garage, this home offers plenty of space and comfort for the whole family.
The location on Tulpenburg is highly sought-after: quiet, green, and right on the water, with Broersepark just around the corner and all of Amstelveen’s amenities within easy reach.
Layout
Ground Floor
Through the deep, east-facing front garden—beautifully landscaped with hydrangeas and a mature tree—you reach the home’s entrance. The front garden offers plenty of space for a seating area and bike storage.
The entryway features practical storage cabinets and, through a steel-framed glass door, offers a view of the open kitchen and the garden entrance. Here, the living room, dining area, and kitchen form a single, inviting space. The solid wood herringbone floor with underfloor heating extends throughout the entire living area, giving the space a warm, elegant feel.
At the front is the living room with a built-in gas fireplace and a wide windowsill, a lovely spot to sit and enjoy the view of the greenery and water. At the rear is the modern kitchen, which, thanks to the large sliding glass doors, connects beautifully with the garden. These doors can be fully opened, allowing the indoors and outdoors to flow together naturally.
The kitchen was custom-built in 2016 and features a large cooking island with a marble countertop, a five-burner Siemens gas stove, a Quooker, and high-quality built-in appliances. The combination of sleek white cabinets and the dark island front creates a timeless and modern look. The ground floor also has a separate toilet.
The backyard, approximately 49 m², faces west and offers lovely afternoon and evening sun. The garden is beautifully landscaped and features a stone shed and access to the spacious detached garage. A quiet and sheltered place to come home to.
First Floor
The first floor features two spacious bedrooms and a bathroom. The bedroom at the rear overlooks the garden and is equipped with built-in closets. The bedroom at the front enjoys an unobstructed view of the water and greenery.
The bathroom features a modern design and is equipped with a walk-in shower, a vanity unit with a wooden front, and a toilet. The landing also includes a separate laundry room with connections for a washer and dryer, the central heating system, and a sink. This space can be converted into a third bedroom, a home office, or a children’s room on this floor if desired. There is also a practical storage closet.
Second Floor
The second floor is designed as a serene master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The white-painted wooden floor, the dormer windows, and the calm finishes give this floor a light and relaxed atmosphere.
The en-suite bathroom features a walk-in shower with a rain showerhead and a bench, a vanity with a wooden front, and a toilet. Additionally, this floor has a built-in closet. Extra storage space has been created on the landing, and the attic is accessible via a loft ladder.
Garage
The home features a spacious detached garage of approximately 24 m², accessible via the backyard. This space is ideal for parking a car, storing bicycles, or as additional storage.
Surroundings
De Tulpenburg is located in one of the finest areas of Amstelveen: quiet, green, and child-friendly, right on the water and near Broersepark.

The Amsterdamse Bos is also a short distance away. Accessibility is excellent: the express tram takes you to Amsterdam in no time, and the A9 and A10 highways are also easily accessible.
