Gerrit van der Veenstraat 81

Gerrit van der Veenstraat 81 – Spacious Family Home with South-Facing Garden in Amsterdam Zuid

Exceptionally generous townhouse (approx. 271 m² including the basement) with a sunny south-facing garden, located in one of the most beautiful parts of Amsterdam Zuid. Ideal for those seeking a true family home with a garden, in a charming neighbourhood close to schools, shops, Beatrixpark and public transport.

This family home spans five floors and features a former en-suite living room, separate kitchen, five bedrooms, two bathrooms, and a spacious basement with full standing height.

The property has been lovingly owned by the same family since 1987. After many wonderful years, it is now time for a new chapter — a unique opportunity for a new family to make this house their own.

There are also numerous primary and secondary schools nearby, including the International School, British School, HLZ, Fons Vitae, Ignatius Gymnasium, Amsterdam Lyceum and Montessori. The property is easily accessible by public transport (tram lines 5 and 24) and is within walking distance of the Zuidas and Station Zuid/WTC.
