A Unique Ground Floor Duplex Apartment in Amsterdam
In one of the most popular areas in Amsterdam, called De Pijp, lies this amazing garage conversion. The apartment is divided over two floors, with an open-plan kitchen, dining, and living room on the ground floor and three bedrooms on the first floor.
The house was completely redesigned in 2016/2017 by Dutch interior designer James van der Velden. When he sold the house a couple of years ago, the new owner bought the house and the interiors, so nothing has changed since it was last for sale.
The impressive front door opens into this amazing kitchen space with a double-height ceiling. The interiors have an industrial vibe thanks to the concrete floor and dark kitchen cabinets with brass fittings.
The dark cupboards are paired with a classic marble countertop. A small bar seating has been created by the window facing the street.
Original doors and windows show the history of the late 19th-century house.
The space between the kitchen and living room is home to a dining table with impressive lighting above the dark wooden table.
The back of the house is wider than the front and here you find the living room with a classic herringbone parquet floor.
The ceilings here are considerably lower, so the design has been kept light and spots in the ceiling are strategically placed, creating a light atmosphere.
The two large sofas are centered around a gas fireplace with a marble surround flanked by built-in bookcases.
The living room is a few steps down from the kitchen/dining room.
One of the bathrooms is designed in a classic style with black and white hexagon tiles on the floor and gray subway tiles on the walls. These are paired with classic brass fittings.
On the first floor are three bedrooms. The master bedroom has its own bathroom and walk-in closet. The white walls and dark gray window frames are paired with floral patterns in the curtains and headboard.
The second bathroom is dramatic with black subway tiles, a double shower with marble tilework, an antique medicine cabinet, and brass fittings.
The first floor landing gives a view of the kitchen through the amazing arched window.
The powder room has a beautiful mural and an antique vanity with a marble top.
At the front of the house lies a small terrace, just big enough for a bistro table.
The house is listed for € 2.295.000 at Heeren Makelaars.
