Frederiksstraat 37-3 – living with the Vondelpark as an extension of your living room
Welcome to Frederiksstraat 37-3. A charming and bright two-storey apartment, spread over the third and fourth floor of an elegant building, directly on the western side of the Vondelpark with a privately gated access. According to the recent NEN 2580 measurement report, the apartment offers approximately 89 m² of residential floor area. However, thanks to the generous layout, especially on the top-floor, many corners and niches (below 1.5m) have been turned into storage or utility spaces, making the apartment noticeably more spacious than the official figures suggest.
From the living room you look straight out onto the greenery of the park, at the rear you have a cosy roof terrace and inside you can enjoy an atmospheric eat-in kitchen, two full-sized bedrooms and a generous bathroom. An ideal home for those who want peace and quiet, yet still live in the heart of the city.
Frederiksstraat is a short, dead-end and exceptionally quiet street with direct access to the park. Here you live with virtually no passing traffic, while being literally around the corner from trendy restaurants, coffee bars, neighborhood cafés and various local shops. The apartment combines comfort, character and location in a way that is rare in Amsterdam.
The Vondelpark as your daily backdrop From an early morning run to a picnic with friends: the Vondelpark truly feels like your own back garden here. Cross the street and you are right in Amsterdam’s most beloved park, with its winding paths, ponds, large lawns, playgrounds and terraces. In summer you can enjoy the open-air theatre and lively park atmosphere; in the morning you almost have the park to yourself.
At the same time, you are very centrally located: by bike you can reach Museumplein, De Hallen, Ten Katemarkt, the Jordaan and the canal belt within a few minutes. The popular Jan Pieter Heijestraat and Overtoom, with their wide range of shops and restaurants, are also within walking or short cycling distance. Accessibility is excellent: several tram and bus lines are just around the corner and by car you can quickly reach the A10 ring road.
This two-storey upstairs apartment is therefore a fantastic base for expats, couples, singles and smaller households who enjoy urban living in a relaxed, green setting.
Layout
THIRD FLOOR Via the communal staircase you reach the entrance of the apartment on the third floor. The landing offers generous space for coats and shoes. From the landing you access the apartment onto a halfway that splits into the open plan living area.
At the front is the bright living room with large windows and an unobstructed view towards the Vondelpark. The solid oak flooring and natural light create a warm, inviting atmosphere – a lovely place to relax or entertain guests.
At the rear you will find the spacious eat-in kitchen. There is plenty of room for a large dining table, perfect for long dinners. The modern kitchen is fitted with various built-in appliances and offers ample worktop and storage space. On this floor there is also a separate toilet with washbasin.
FOURTH FLOOR A fixed staircase takes you to the top floor. The landing gives access to all rooms.
On either side of the floor there are two well-proportioned bedrooms, both with built-in wardrobes. The loft-like high ceilings with beams add extra character as well as practical space. On the landing and in the lower parts of the roof, bespoke storage and utility areas have been created – to accommodate a washing machine, a dryer and other corners ideal for storing items like suitcases, or terrace furniture.
The generous bathroom has the feel of a boutique hotel bathroom and is equipped with a jacuzzi bathtub, walk-in shower, double washbasin and second toilet.
On the floor plan in the measurement report you can clearly see that this level offers an additional approx. 13.3 m² of floor surface under the angled roof. These zones have a lower ceiling height and are therefore not included in the official NEN 2580 residential floor area, but in practice they are very useful for built-in wardrobes and feels considerably more spacious in daily use than the NEN figures suggest.
Balcony
Roof terrace At the rear is the roof terrace of approximately 5 m². An intimate outdoor space overlooking the inner gardens – perfect for your morning coffee in the sun or a glass of wine at the end of the day.
