Exceptional detached villa
Detached living on a private estate, in the oldest part of Amsterdam, is a rarity. Across a private bridge and through an electric gate lies this move-in-ready villa, built in 2020, with 316 m² of living space on a plot of 578 m². Step inside and you immediately feel the space: 3.10-metre ceilings, fully glazed bay windows and a solid wood herringbone floor, all finished with an eye for detail. There are five bedrooms and three bathrooms, including an entire second floor for an au pair or guests. The house is surrounded by a garden of approx. 410 m², largely south-facing, with evergreen planting that offers privacy all year round. There are three parking spaces on the property, and Schiphol and the Zuidas are just ten minutes' drive away. An oasis of calm amid the dynamism of the city.

What the sellers will miss:
"Above all, we'll miss our summer evenings. All of us walking into the village for an ice cream, then strolling slowly back past the windmill as the evening sun bathes everything in a golden glow. And once we're back in the garden, beneath the Italian stone pine, we still sometimes pinch ourselves: is this really Amsterdam?"

Lifestyle | Green, free and still Amsterdam:
Saturday morning begins with an espresso at the kitchen island. The children cycle to hockey or football on their own, because Sportpark Sloten is just around the corner. On the sidelines you stand with the neighbours, parents from school and friends from the area, Dutch and international alike. You get to know people quickly here.
In the afternoon the sliding doors open and the garden becomes an extension of the house. The little ones play on the lawn while you sit in the sun or take a stroll through the old village.
In the evening, friends come over from Oud-Zuid. They take tram 2 or simply park on the estate. Dinner is served at a long table under the covered terrace until it gets dark, and when it cools down, the fire is already lit indoors.
On Sunday the choice is yours: a walk along the Nieuwe Meer or through De Vrije Geer, or into town for lunch in Zuid or a concert at the Concertgebouw. Have a sloop? You can moor it in one of the small harbours on the Nieuwe Meer, a five-minute bike ride away. Then it's back to the peace and greenery.

Guided tour:
Arriving
From the historic Sloterweg you drive across the bridge and through the electric gate into the courtyard. Thanks to the through-traffic ban, almost only local traffic uses the road (residents have an exemption), so it feels like a quiet village street. The villa stands out immediately with its pointed gable of light grey timber, slender louvres and warm brickwork. A Japanese maple graces the front garden, and there is room on the property for three cars and a charging point. In the hall, black steel-framed glass doors offer a first glimpse through to the garden.

Living
The first thing you notice is the height: 3.10-metre ceilings give the living room the grandeur of a townhouse. The three-sided gas fireplace, set in a sleek concrete-look surround, divides the space without closing it off. The solid wood herringbone floor gives everything a warm, restful foundation, and the glazed façade lets in light and greenery from every side.

Cooking
The kitchen is the heart of the home: matt black and handleless, with a generous island, a composite worktop with a natural-stone look and high-end integrated appliances. Everyone naturally gathers at the island and breakfast bar, for a quick breakfast, homework after school or a glass of wine while dinner is on the go. The dining area seats ten. Cooking, dining and entertaining flow effortlessly into one another.

Outdoor living
The garden of approx. 410 m² wraps around the house and is largely south-facing. Tall hedges and mature planting, partly evergreen, provide privacy throughout the year. An old Italian stone pine, a cork oak, a pear tree and abundant hydrangeas create an almost Mediterranean atmosphere. There is a covered terrace for long evenings, a generous lawn and an integral storage room with its own outside door for bikes and sports bags.

Sleeping and bathing
The first floor houses the principal bedroom with walk-in wardrobe and en-suite bathroom with bath, walk-in shower, toilet and double washbasin, two spacious children's bedrooms, a second bathroom and a separate toilet. The principal bedroom has air conditioning that can also heat, so it's comfortable in every season. The generous landing (approx. 21 m²) is currently used as a workspace, but can easily be converted into a spacious sixth bedroom, playroom, TV room or gym.

A floor of its own
The second floor is a fully self-contained level with two large bedrooms and a third bathroom. Ideal for an au pair, older children or guests staying for longer. Both bedrooms have air conditioning with a heating function. With five bedrooms, easily expandable to six, and three bathrooms, this house grows with you through every stage of life. This floor also has a large integral storage room, a rarity in Amsterdam.

Smart, sustainable and secure
The villa combines comfort with high-quality technology: energy label A, EPC 0.39, 14 solar panels, HR++ glazing, heat recovery and underfloor heating on the ground floor and in the bathrooms. Lighting, heating, security systems and the fireplace are controlled via KNX home automation. The electric gate and the high-end Integra alarm system offer added convenience and peace of mind. The house is ready to move straight into.

Sloten | The oldest part of Amsterdam
Sloten is older than Amsterdam and, as a protected village conservation area, has retained its own character. Around the historic core you'll find the Sloten Windmill, the Sloterkerk, Speeltuin Sloten playground, De 7 Deugden brewery and IJshoeve Sloten. The Nieuwe Meer and De Vrije Geer nature reserve are a few minutes away by bike, for walking, swimming or boating.
Sportpark Sloten offers hockey, football, baseball, handball, gymnastics, American football, golf and a cycling track. Golf club The International, one of the most prestigious golf clubs in the country, is a five-minute drive away. For everyday shopping, there's the Nieuw Sloten shopping centre. Hoofddorpplein is a fifteen-minute bike ride away, and Gelderlandplein and Beethovenstraat are ten minutes by car. Primary schools, the secondary schools in Zuid and the international schools are all close by.

Accessibility:
The A10, A4 and A9 motorways are approx. five minutes' drive away, and Oud-Zuid is a fifteen-minute bike ride. Bus 195 and night bus N95 to Lelylaan station and Schiphol stop within a short walk. Tram 2 to the city centre is approx. five minutes' walk away.
