Sophialaan 14

Monumental Semi-Detached Villa in One of Amsterdam Oud-Zuid’s Most Desirable Locations

In one of the most beautiful and characteristic areas of Amsterdam, and in particular the prestigious Oud-Zuid district, this impressive semi-detached villa is situated on the leafy Sophialaan. The right-hand residence of this elegant architectural ensemble is now available and offers a unique combination of historic grandeur, generous proportions, and modern comfort.

The villa offers approximately 343 m² of living space, complemented by a full-sized basement of approximately 55 m² and a beautifully landscaped garden that extends around a substantial part of the property.

This exceptional villa was built in 1920 and designed by architect H.L. de Jong, who gained further recognition a few years later as the architect behind the iconic Pathé Tuschinski (opened in 1921). The architectural quality of this era is still clearly evident in the elegant façade, the generous proportions (including the impressive staircase), and the many original details that give the home its distinctive character.

The residence comprises three full floors: the ground floor, first floor, and second floor. The original layout has been carefully preserved over the years, allowing the villa to retain its authentic atmosphere and exceptional sense of space. The property features no fewer than nine rooms, including six bedrooms, with impressive reception rooms, high ceilings, panelled walls, and a natural flow between the various living spaces.

Although the property has naturally been adapted in certain areas over the years to meet contemporary standards of comfort, this has always been done with great respect for its monumental character. The current owners have lived here with great care and dedication for more than 40 years, preserving the original structure and atmosphere of this remarkable home. Authentic features, including beautiful detailing and historic finishes, have been lovingly maintained.

The ground floor is a particularly fine example of the classic layout typical of the period in which the villa was built. A rare opportunity to live in a monumental residence in an exceptional location, where history, architecture, and modern-day comfort come together effortlessly. A home with such character and heritage can truly only be appreciated by experiencing it in person during a private viewing.
