Vondelstraat 9 2

Architectural · Luxurious · Connected
A residence where historic architecture, modern luxury, and the seamless connection between living room, library, bedrooms, and terrace come together to create a unique living experience.

On the stately Vondelstraat, one of the most beautiful and tranquil streets in Amsterdam, this renovated (2025) double upper townhouse is offered for sale. The spacious apartment of 167 m², spread over two floors, features a sunny south-facing terrace that extends across the full width of the home, with ample storage space.
The monumental building, constructed in 1881–1882 and designed by architect W. Hamer (renowned for the Vondelpark Pavilion and Hotel De l’Europe), exudes grandeur and history. Original elements such as high ceilings, ornamentation, and a natural stone fireplace have been preserved, while the renovation has been executed with meticulous attention to detail and high-quality materials. The entire apartment is fitted with a light oak herringbone floor, smart lighting, a luxury kitchen with Gaggenau appliances and marble accents, and stylish marble-look bathrooms and toilets. Thanks to the panoramic roof windows and the spacious skylight dome, the home is bathed in natural light, and the upper floors offer unique, unobstructed views of Leidseplein and Museumplein.

The strength of this apartment lies in its connection: the living room flows into the library and opens to the sunny south-facing terrace, the bedrooms connect directly to their own bathrooms, and the kitchen opens seamlessly onto the spacious terrace. This creates an elegant living environment where light, comfort, and conviviality take center stage – from quiet reading to cooking and entertaining with friends. That same sense of connection extends outside: within walking distance lies the cultural vibrancy of the city, with Vondelpark, Museumplein, and the bustling Leidseplein as natural extensions of daily life.

Tour
Entrance

The monumental staircase, adorned with a two-meter-high stained-glass window that beautifully filters daylight, creates an impressive entrance. The spacious hall includes a cloakroom and marble toilet and leads through French doors to the living room. Cleverly designed, the hall also provides a stylish solution with a mezzanine offering additional storage space.

Living room & library
The living space stretches across the front and rear of the house and is characterized by floor-to-ceiling windows that flood the room with light and provide views of a leafy canopy that forms a picturesque backdrop in every season. The room exudes grandeur with its high ornamental ceilings, recessed lighting, and a natural stone fireplace with refined feminine sculptural details.

A particular highlight is the monumental layout of the living floor, inspired by the classic en-suite design typical of townhouses of that era. While modern homes often feature open floor plans, this apartment uniquely combines historical allure with the spaciousness and light of contemporary living – a rare combination hardly ever realized today.
Another distinctive feature is the library room with its original floor-to-ceiling bookcase, dating back to the period when the property was owned by the Marriott Hotel.

Kitchen & terrace
French doors lead to the kitchen, designed with steel and marble accents. It is fitted with Gaggenau built-in appliances, a combi-steam oven, a wine climate cabinet, Quooker, and an integrated extraction system. Both the kitchen and living room provide access to the expansive south-facing terrace, which spans the full width of the property and includes an electric sunshade. The seamless connection to the terrace makes the kitchen the heart of the home, where cooking and dining effortlessly extend into the outdoors.

Third floor
The stately staircase, enhanced with a Velux roof window, leads to the upper living floor with three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

Master bedroom: The spacious master bedroom is illuminated by a large skylight dome. Adjoining is a luxurious marble-finished bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, floor-mounted faucet and hand shower, double vanity, heated dimmable mirrors, and a Velux roof window.
Second bedroom: Located at the rear, this bedroom also includes a Velux roof window.
Third bedroom: This room features a dormer with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the trees and towards Leidseplein. It has its own spacious en-suite bathroom, finished in marble and fitted with a Grohe SmartControl rain shower, double vanity, heated LED-lit mirror, and toilet. Thanks to the Velux roof window, the room enjoys a light and open ambiance in every season.
Additional amenities on this floor include a separate laundry room with connections for a washer and dryer, as well as a technical storage room.

Location
The Vondelstraat is renowned for its monumental buildings and central location.

Luxury boutiques on P.C. Hooftstraat, trendy cafés, restaurants, and terraces are just around the corner. Public transport is excellent via Overtoom and Leidseplein, and the A10 ring road can be reached within 10 minutes.
