Located on Eerste Helmersstraat, this furnished duplex apartment arranged over two upper floors offers approximately 160 m² of living space. A home that stands out not only for its generous proportions, but also for the way the space is arranged. The sleeping quarters are located on the first residential level, with two spacious bedrooms and a third room currently used as a home office. Above, the character of the apartment changes completely, opening up into an impressive living floor beneath the roof. High ceilings, large windows and a striking exposed timber structure give this space its distinctive character. What makes the location particularly special is the greenery directly outside. The apartment overlooks the leafy grounds of the former Wilhelmina Gasthuis hospital, a historic hospital complex that has been transformed into a peaceful residential and creative enclave. Monumental former hospital pavilions now stand among mature trees, landscaped green spaces and quiet, largely traffic-free paths — an unexpectedly tranquil setting in the heart of Amsterdam Oud-West. Vondelpark is just around the corner, while the cafés, shops and restaurants of Oud-West are all close by and Amsterdam city centre is within easy reach. Generous living space, greenery on your doorstep and the city close at hand. Layout The apartment is accessed through a characterful entrance with attractive brick arches, original blue-painted front doors and distinctive period tiling. The sleeping floor comprises two spacious bedrooms, a third smaller room and a separate walk-in wardrobe. One of the bedrooms is situated at the quiet rear of the property and has French doors opening onto the long, covered balcony. Large windows provide plenty of natural light and pleasant views over the greenery and surrounding buildings. Adjacent is the walk-in wardrobe, offering ample space for clothes and additional storage. The second spacious bedroom is located at the front and overlooks the leafy grounds of the former Wilhelmina Gasthuis hospital. With its large window and generous proportions, it works perfectly as a main bedroom or children’s bedroom. Also at the front is the third, smaller room, currently arranged as a home office. The bathroom is located on this floor and has a light, slightly retro feel, with a bathtub positioned beneath the window. There is also a separate toilet. One floor above, the atmosphere changes completely. Here, the apartment opens into a wonderfully light and spacious living floor beneath the roof, where the original exposed timber structure immediately catches the eye. The high pitched roof, visible beams, wooden flooring and several skylights create an almost loft-like atmosphere. The entire floor has been designed as one open living space, with natural areas for cooking, dining and relaxing. At one end is the kitchen, arranged in a generous U-shape and offering plenty of storage as well as a range of built-in appliances. Its open connection with the rest of the floor makes this a sociable space where cooking and spending time together flow naturally into one another. At the centre, there is ample room for a large dining table. This is also where the original timber roof structure comes into its own, adding warmth, character and a strong architectural element to the space. At the other end is the living area. Its generous dimensions allow for a variety of seating arrangements and different uses. Skylights, windows and French doors bring in daylight from several directions, enhancing the open and airy feel. This floor is the heart of the home: an open-plan living space where cooking, dining and relaxing come together, with the original timber roof structure providing an impressive backdrop. Location The setting beside the former Wilhelmina Gasthuis hospital grounds gives this part of Oud-West a character all of its own. Once home to one of Amsterdam’s major hospital complexes, the area is now a green and peaceful enclave where monumental former hospital pavilions stand among mature trees, landscaped gardens and quiet, traffic-calmed paths. It brings an unusual sense of space and greenery to this central Amsterdam neighbourhood, with plenty of room to step outside, take a walk or let children play. From here, everything Oud-West has to offer is within easy reach. Jan Pieter Heijestraat, Ten Katemarkt and De Hallen are all easily accessible on foot or by bicycle. The surrounding streets offer a wide choice of cafés, restaurants and coffee spots, including LOT61, Koffie Academie and Coffee Room. Shops, speciality stores, supermarkets, schools, childcare facilities and sports amenities are also close by. And then there is Vondelpark, just a few minutes’ walk away — perfect for a morning run, an evening stroll or simply some time outdoors. Museumplein, Amsterdam-Zuid and the city centre are all easily accessible, with the centre approximately ten minutes away by bicycle. Tram and bus connections are within walking distance, while the A10 ring road can be reached within a few minutes by car. A historic green enclave on your doorstep, Vondelpark around the corner and the best of Oud-West within easy reach. The previous tenants describe what they will miss most about living here: There’s so much we’re going to miss about this home. Sitting in the grand and spacious living room, feeling the fresh air flowing through the windows, and hearing the birds chirping and the leaves rustling in the breeze. Waking up with the sun streaming through the wall of windows in the oversized bedroom. The six-minute walk through a beautiful neighbourhood to Vondelpark. It’s rare to find an apartment with such a sense of scale and grandeur in Amsterdam — it’s a home that feels like a large country house in the heart of the city.
