Tweede Schinkelstraat 17 H

Located in the highly sought-after Schinkelbuurt in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid, this spacious, split-level family home sits on freehold land and offers three bedrooms and a sunny south-facing garden. A perfect blend of space, comfort, and tranquility, with vibrant city life, parks, and all amenities just around the corner.


Layout
Upon entering this stately, characteristic Amsterdam property, you step into the living level, located on the ground-floor. The bright, open-plan living space features a comfortable seating area at the front.

At the rear, you’ll find the minimalist open kitchen by SieMatic, equipped with a tall cabinet wall, accent lighting, and high-end built-in appliances from Gaggenau, Siemens, and Miele, including a steam oven, conventional oven, warming drawer, dishwasher, Quooker, fridge-freezer combination, and an induction hob with integrated extractor.

The kitchen seamlessly connects to the garden through full-width folding glass doors, creating a natural transition between indoor and outdoor living. This not only brings in abundant natural light but also offers a wonderful outdoor lifestyle feel, perfect for hosting (barbecue) dinners in the garden.

The well-maintained garden is south-facing, allowing you to enjoy the sun from early spring. Featuring a birch tree, wisteria, and ambient lighting, it’s an idyllic spot to relax with a book or enjoy long summer evenings with friends.

At the back of the garden is a neat wooden storage shed, ideal for bicycles, garden cushions, or even an extra freezer. The shed is also equipped with water and electricity.

The first floor is accessed via an open staircase from the living room. This level serves as the sleeping quarters, offering possibility for three bedrooms and two bathrooms.

The master bedroom is located at the rear and features built-in wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom with a washbasin, bathtub, design radiator, and shower.

At the front of the property are two well-proportioned bedrooms. Centrally located on this floor are a utility closet with connections for a washing machine and dryer, and a second bathroom.

This second bathroom is currently used as storage space but retains all necessary connections, making it easy to convert back into a full bathroom if desired.

Both floors have a separate toilet located in the hallway. The living room, kitchen, and bathroom are also equipped with underfloor heating.

In short, a highly practical and comfortable layout, ideal for a family with multiple children.
