EXCLUSIVE FORMER “HEERENHUIS” MANSION IN A SOUGHT-AFTER AREA IN A’DAM-ZUID
At the heart of Apollo district in Amsterdam, in Zuid borough, is this exceptional 7-room home that is
part of a unique collection of homes designed by prolific architect Eduard Cuypers in 1925. The
property, including the basement, spans four levels. At the rear, facing south, is a well-kept secret: an
expansive courtyard garden with English landscaping. The garden is a quiet haven amidst the hustle
and bustle of the city, its countless trees offer ultimate privacy. The spacious sun terrace, which
overlooks the courtyard garden and Veroneseplantsoen square, can be accessed both from the living
room and the kitchen.
