Exclusive Family Residence of International Calibre in the Museum Quarter

Situated on one of the most sought-after streets in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid, in the heart of the prestigious Museum Quarter, this exceptionally spacious three-storey upper residence of approximately 232 sq m offers a rare combination of elegance and comfort. The property perfectly caters to the needs of the modern family, entrepreneurs, and expatriates who make no compromise when it comes to space, comfort, privacy, and location.

Honthorststraat 32 forms part of a distinguished trilogy of stately buildings: two elegant properties with lower and upper residences (nos. 32 and 36), separated by an imposing townhouse (no. 34). The architecture, proportions and appearance seamlessly reflect the premium calibre to which this residence belongs.

This highly attractive property offers a rare combination of generous proportions, authentic character and outstanding living quality in an unrivalled location between the grandeur of P.C. Hooftstraat and the vibrant atmosphere of De Pijp.

The residence is ideally suited to larger internationally oriented families seeking multiple living and working spaces, or those wishing to accommodate an au pair without compromising privacy. The three full residential floors create a natural separation between living, working and relaxation. A quality that is becoming increasingly rare within Amsterdam’s city centre.

The impressive natural light is immediately apparent. Large windows, high ceilings and uninterrupted sightlines towards the green inner gardens and Museumplein create a serene, almost villa-like atmosphere in the heart of the city. Authentic features, including beautiful stained-glass windows, have been carefully preserved and further enhance the elegant character of the home.

A particular highlight of the property are the two sunny roof terraces with phenomenal views over the surrounding gardens and Amsterdam’s cultural heart. Here, you will experience an exceptional sense of tranquillity, privacy, and space. A rare standard of living in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid, brought fully to life in the distinguished surroundings of the Museum Quarter.

Technically and structurally, the property is also maintained to an excellent standard. In 2024, the façades and balconies were renovated, the rear façade was repointed, and the window frames repainted. The residence furthermore benefits from timber window frames with HR++ glazing, solar panels, and a gas-fired central heating combi boiler.

The active Owners’ Association is self-managed. Service charges amount to €100 per month, and the ground lease has been bought off in perpetuity. A considerable advantage within this price segment.

The location belongs to the absolute top tier of Amsterdam. Within a few minutes’ walk are the Rijksmuseum, Van Gogh Museum, the Concertgebouw, high-end restaurants, international schools, luxury boutiques and several consulates. A safe and distinguished residential environment where international prestige and Amsterdam charm come together effortlessly.

A residence for buyers seeking the quality and scale of a substantial family home, without sacrificing the dynamism and cultural richness of city life.
