LOCATION
The property is located in the highly desirable Oud-Zuid district. The apartment sits in one of the most charming parts of Valeriusstraat in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid, between Valeriusplein and Amstelveenseweg.
Valeriusstraat is known for its relaxed, almost village-like atmosphere. The location is ideal: a green, quiet and yet vibrant neighborhood, just a two-minute walk from Vondelpark. For daily groceries, there are various specialty shops (bakeries, greengrocers, butcher, wine shop, and fishmonger) on Amstelveenseweg and Zeilstraat, as well as (organic) supermarkets within walking distance. You can also stroll to the elegant shopping street Cornelis Schuytstraat, known for its luxury boutiques, fine delicatessens, and gourmet shops.
Museumplein, the Concertgebouw, and Van Baerlestraat are all within cycling distance, as are numerous restaurants, cozy cafés, and specialty stores.
For families, there are excellent schools nearby, including The British School of Amsterdam. Public transport is well organized, with several tram and bus stops in close proximity. Tram 2 or a short bike ride will take you to the city center within 10 minutes. The A10 ring road is easily accessible, and Schiphol Airport is just a 15-minute drive away.
LAYOUT
The private entrance leads via a carpeted staircase to the first floor, the generous main living level. Here, the renewed interior truly comes into its own: a stylish through-living room where color, texture, and classical details come together. The high ceilings (approx. 3.20 m), conservatory, and impressive front bay window create a spacious and bright atmosphere. Original fireplaces and charming built-in cabinets enhance the authentic character.
At the rear, you’ll find the spacious dining room flowing into the newly renovated open kitchen. Warm wooden cabinetry with elegant handles and a marble countertop perfectly match the home’s style and finish. The kitchen features an island with seating, ample storage, and modern built-in appliances. French doors provide access to the sunny roof terrace.
This sheltered south-facing roof terrace of over 22 m², featuring an authentic black-and-white tiled floor and plenty of sunshine, is a true extension of the living space.
This floor also includes a wardrobe closet, a guest toilet, and the colorfully carpeted staircase leading to the sleeping floors. The entire level is finished with an elegant oak herringbone floor in a Hungarian point pattern.
The second floor offers two bedrooms and a renovated bathroom. The master bedroom at the front features a beautiful bay window and built-in wardrobes. The second room, currently used as a dressing room, has French doors opening onto a balcony overlooking the roof terrace. This room is also suitable as a study or bedroom.
The bathroom was fully renovated in 2024 and stylishly finished with high-quality materials. It includes a walk-in shower, bathtub, and a wide vanity unit.
The top floor benefits from abundant natural light thanks to a large skylight. Here you’ll find two additional bedrooms, both with characteristic elements such as an exposed roof structure and dormer windows. At the rear is the second bathroom/laundry room, also recently renovated and practically designed with a shower, sink, toilet, and connections for a washing machine and dryer.
HOMEOWNERS’ ASSOCIATION (VvE)
The active homeowners’ association, named “Vereniging van Eigenaars van het gebouw Valeriusstraat 193 t/m 199 (odd numbers) / Hendrik Jacobszstraat 9 and 11 / Lomanstraat 40 t/m 46 (even numbers),” consists of 10 members. Monthly service charges are €283, and the reserve fund is healthy. In 2019, the rear façade was fitted with new wooden window frames with double glazing, and the monumental bay windows were equipped with heritage glass.
LOCATION & ACCESSIBILITY
The property is situated in the highly sought-after Oud-Zuid area, between Koninginneweg and Lomanstraat, near Hendrik Jacobszstraat.
HISTORY
The monumental building is part of the former carriage depot of the Amsterdamsche Rijtuig Maatschappij, including two coachmen’s houses. It was designed by architect J.A. van Straaten, also known for De Bijenkorf, in a style related to English country house architecture. The ground floor of the complex is currently used as a supermarket, meaning there are no direct downstairs neighbors.
