Pieter de Hoochstraat 9-A

Luxurious townhouse with soaring ceilings, an open-plan layout, a spacious garden and two indoor parking spaces – in one of Amsterdam’s most sought-after locations.

This contemporary and exceptionally spacious apartment offers approximately 275 m² of living space – and more than 374 m² of gross floor area – and is situated on the ground floor of the stylish ‘The Glass House’ development, in the residential part of Amsterdam’s Museum Quarter. The home offers an exceptional combination of space, natural light and design. Thanks to the unique design of this former PTT building, in which the original ceiling heights have been retained, natural light floods the interior and gives the living room an impressive loft-like character.

With a spacious and flexible layout, including two bathrooms, an approximately 116 m² garden, two indoor parking spaces, a generous storage room and a lift, this home offers every modern luxury and convenience.

Upon entering, the spacious living room is located to the right and is characterised by exceptionally high ceilings, large windows and an impressive mirrored-glass fireplace surround measuring over 1.5 metres wide, seamlessly concealing both the gas fireplace and TV.

The living room flows into the open-plan kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is equipped with Gaggenau appliances, including a convection oven, steam oven, Quooker, two wine climate cabinets, grill plate, four-burner gas hob and an extra-wide refrigerator and freezer. French doors open onto a lush city garden, offering ample space for several lounge and seating areas.

The ground floor also features a comfortable guest bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, which can be closed off by sliding doors. The hallway provides access to a separate WC, technical room and cloakroom.

The iconic open staircase leads to the first floor, where the generously sized principal bedroom is located. Opposite the bed is a wide fireplace with an integrated TV.

Extending from the bedroom is a walk-in wardrobe. Bespoke wardrobes run along the entire length of the wall, with a custom-made dressing unit positioned in the centre. There is also the possibility of creating a third bedroom here. The adjoining bathroom is exceptionally bright and luxurious, featuring a freestanding bathtub at the centre of the room, a double washbasin, a dedicated shower toilet and a spacious walk-in shower.

The lower level houses a parking garage with two parking spaces belonging to the apartment. Both spaces are conveniently located directly at the bottom of the ramp, next to the lift and external storage room. The parking spaces are not included in the asking price.

The lower level also features a very generous private storage room of no less than 20 m², as well as a bicycle storage area.
