Description
TranslateA gem in Amsterdam: living with the Hortus Botanicus as a front garden
Witnessing the changing seasons of the Hortus Botanicus from bed. In other words: 'your' front garden. Looking at the starry sky through the skylights and marveling at the history and aesthetics of the apartment. This is where you come home.
Back in time
De Plantage Parklaan 9 has a rich history and has had various functions. Features of this, such as authentic stained glass and a granite floor, can be seen throughout the property. The building was originally owned by renowned Nobel Prize winner, bio-geneticist and director of the Hortus, Hugo de Vries. From 1919, the top floor – the apartment – served as a synagogue for the Jewish community. The typical hat shelf is therefore an eye-catcher when entering the apartment.
Carefully tuned
Meanwhile, the apartment has had several renovations. And, the result is impressive. You will experience the combination of a fresh, modern architecture with selected components from all over Europe. In fact, this apartment is an ode to the materials and styles that Europe has to offer.
Entrance
The entrance immediately sets the tone of the building: impressive and serene at the same time. You enter a spacious common hall with a marble floor where a wide, richly decorated wooden staircase gives you access to the second floor. Don't forget to look up here: you can see the characteristic stained glass in the roof here. On this floor you will be the first to find a separate toilet, shower and utility room. In the utility room there is a washing machine and dryer. Through a separate door you enter the living room and kitchen.
Second floor
Upon entering, two historic swing doors provide access to the large open space. This is characterized by its large surface area, the 4.5 meter high walls and the high palm tree that stands centrally on the stage. On the left and right side of this room, large windows adorn. As a result, there is always enough natural light and a fantastic view on top of the ornamental gardens of the Hortus. The open kitchen immediately catches the eye. The marble counter top, made in Italy, does justice to the atmosphere of the apartment: high quality and character. The floor is a cast floor - with underfloor heating - and offers a comfortable contrast with the smoked oak herringbone stage floor. The same applies to the stucco walls in combination with the visible brick. Together, this creates an intimate atmosphere.
Mezzanine
You have the possibility to walk up the mezzanine on two sides. Via Hungarian cast iron stairs, which are robust and romantic at the same time, you reach the sleeping quarters. Both are equipped with subtle and tasteful lighting. The bedrooms have French shutters, when you open them, you look directly at the living room and the greenery of the Hortus. A unique way to wake up!
You will also find a spacious bathroom on this floor, equipped with everything you are looking for. A freestanding bath, a floating shower, toilet and a spacious toilet furniture with two sinks. Both rooms can be furnished as bedrooms. However, it is also possible to set up one of the rooms as a study or studio. Just where your wish lies. In addition, there is a room that gives the possibility to fully equip with wall cabinets and extremely suitable as a walk-in closet.
