A Ground Floor Duplex Apartment with a Beautiful Modern Garden
The lower two floors of an early 20th-century townhouse in central Amsterdam have been meticulously renovated by its current interior designer owner into a wonderful high-end home with three bedrooms and a south-facing garden.
The attention to detail, from refined materials choices to the smart layout and bespoke finishes, turns the spaces into serene and luxurious rooms. The connection with the south-facing garden is especially wonderful, and almost doubles the living space in the summer months.
The ground floor is divided into a dining room at the front of the plan and an open-plan living room and kitchen at the back of the house with a glass facade and doors leading to the architect-designed garden.
French doors in the living room open to this wonderful landscape architect-designed kitchen with a dining area featuring a built-in bench closest to the house.
At the back of the garden, there is a wonderful pergola with wisteria and an outdoor kitchen featuring a built-in Green Egg.
The kitchen was designed by the owner interior designer in collaboration with a furniture maker. The kitchen features walnut cabinetry topped with Calacatta marble with a double bullnose finish.
There are steel sliding doors between the kitchen and the dining room. It can be opened for a social layout or closed if you want a more private atmosphere.
The dining room is decorated with the La Caravane, Kungbo wallpaper from Élitis.
The front door opens directly into this space, but they created a closed-off entry hall using the same steel walls as the partition between the dining room and the kitchen.
The lower floor features three bedrooms and a bathroom. All bedrooms are decorated in natural shades, and the high windows provide the rooms with light and privacy.
A small home office has been built into a niche in one of the bedrooms.
There isn’t much color in the home, but the lower ground floor hall is painted in a natural green shade.
The apartment is listed for sale at Funda.
