Van Hilligaertstraat 45

A living space with a ceiling height of almost 4 metres, tall windows across the full width of the front façade and an open interplay of living levels give this 130 m² apartment, renovated to a high standard, a distinctly architectural character. Bespoke joinery, natural stone and warm wood come together in an interior with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and a south-facing balcony. Set where De Pijp meets Oud-Zuid, where the calm and allure of Zuid blend with the vibrancy and creative energy of De Pijp.

Layout: The apartment is entered via a well-kept communal entrance on the ground floor, from where a staircase leads to the private front door on the first floor. The hallway has floor-to-ceiling built-in cupboards in bronzed glass, which neatly conceal the washing machine, the dryer and the separate toilet. From the hallway, the apartment opens up to the living space.

The living space runs for more than 8 metres along the front façade. Its height and light give it real allure. Beneath a ceiling of 3.95 metres, the kitchen, dining area and sitting area flow into one another, while the tall windows bring daylight deep into the room. A glass wall on the upper living level keeps the levels visually connected, so new sightlines keep opening up. The result is an exceptionally open living space where height, light and architecture reinforce one another, with a sense of freedom you rarely find in an Amsterdam apartment.

At the centre of the living space stands a sculptural kitchen island in richly veined marble. Its soft curves are a refined contrast to the warm wood and clean lines of the interior. The island has an integrated induction hob with built-in extraction and a power socket set into the marble. A splashback in the same marble, Gaggenau ovens, a Liebherr wine cabinet and open wall shelving complete the kitchen. A seamless, light-coloured floor runs throughout the entire level, and travertine steps lead to the balcony at the quiet rear of the building.

The upper living level is made up of two separate sections, each with its own staircase. From the sitting area, a staircase leads to the principal bedroom. It overlooks the living space through the glass wall and has an en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, washbasin and toilet. A second staircase leads from the hallway to the third bedroom. This room is currently set up as a walk-in wardrobe with a bespoke wall of cupboards, and it would work equally well as a study or guest room. The second bedroom is on the main level and also has its own bathroom, with a walk-in shower and washbasin.

The apartment also comes with a private 5.8 m² storage room in the basement and use of a communal garden.

Location: The Van Hilligaertstraat is a quiet residential street in the Cornelis Troostbuurt, where the characteristic brick architecture of the Amsterdam School defines the streetscape. The atmosphere is understated and calm, yet the bustle of the city is only a short walk away. The restaurants, cafés and specialist shops of the Ferdinand Bolstraat and the Albert Cuyp Market are a few minutes away on foot, as is the Sarphatipark. For time outdoors among the greenery, the Amstelkanaal and the Beatrixpark are also close by. Transport links are excellent too. De Pijp metro station (North/South line) is close by, and Schiphol and the rest of the Randstad are easy to reach via Amsterdam Zuid station and the A10. A home for lovers of architecture and design, right in the city centre and yet completely peaceful.
