Slaakstraat 10 H

Slaakstraat 10 H – an inviting ground-floor home with a garden, character, and space in the Scheldebuurt

Some homes feel like home the moment you walk in. Slaakstraat 10 H is one of those places. This characterful ground-floor residence combines the charm of a classic Amsterdam home with the comfort and atmosphere of a contemporary family home. Featuring a private entrance, high ceilings, a spacious living room, an inviting eat-in kitchen, two bedrooms, and a delightful back garden with two terraces and a garden house, this property offers a truly complete package.

LAYOUT You enter through your own front door into a long hallway, where a coat area has been created. This hallway connects to the central hall of the home and provides access to the various rooms. There is a separate toilet and a spacious bathroom, fitted with a comfortable walk-in shower, bathtub, heated towel rail, and a vanity unit with a sink. A washing machine connection is also located here.

The expansive living room is situated at the front of the house. Thanks to large windows and high ceilings, it is a wonderfully bright and airy space with plenty of room for a generous seating area. A custom-made, modern wall unit for the TV and books serves as a stylish and practical focal point. Characterful original en-suite doors with built-in cabinetry create an atmospheric transition to the heart of the home: the eat-in kitchen.

This is a space where cooking, dining, and socializing come together beautifully. The kitchen is spacious and equipped with features such as a large gas stove. A cozy breakfast bar invites you to pull up a stool for a cup of coffee or a nice glass of wine, while ample storage space ensures everything has its own place. The spacious dining area also offers plenty of room for long dinners with family and friends, again with practical storage space within easy reach.

French doors open from the eat-in kitchen onto the terrace and back garden—and this is perhaps where the home truly shines. The well-maintained garden offers multiple spots for outdoor living. There is a lovely terrace right next to the house, but if you want to follow the sun, you can move to the second terrace at the back of the garden, right by the garden house, as the day progresses. This ensures you can always find a delightful spot in the sun or the shade, depending on the time of day.

Moreover, the garden house is far more than just a storage shed. It serves as an excellent home office, hobby room, or quiet retreat, while still leaving plenty of space for other items. The well-kept garden gives the property a green, relaxed character that is a rare find in the city.

The home features two bedrooms. At the front, there is a good-sized bedroom currently used as a children’s room. The master bedroom is located at the quiet rear of the house; a large window offers a lovely view of the garden and floods the room with natural light. There is ample space for a large wardrobe, and the laundry setup (washing machine and dryer) is currently located in one corner.

SURROUNDINGS Slaakstraat 10 H is located in the Scheldebuurt—specifically the Wielingenbuurt—a distinctive part of Amsterdam South where quiet residential streets are interspersed with an attractive range of shops, restaurants, and daily amenities. The neighborhood boasts the classic Amsterdam atmosphere of the 1920s and 1930s, featuring characteristic buildings and a pleasant urban ambiance. Slaakstraat itself is part of a residential area consisting largely of homes built in the 1920s. Supermarkets and shops for daily groceries are close by, and restaurants and cafés are also within easy reach. The lively Scheldeplein, Beethovenstraat, and Rijnstraat offer a wide range of shops, specialty stores, and dining options. For relaxation and green spaces, areas such as Beatrixpark and the banks of the Amstel are easily accessible.

The location is also attractive for families, with schools and other amenities in the immediate vicinity. The combination of a quiet residential street and proximity to everything Amsterdam has to offer makes this location exceptionally versatile.

ACCESSIBILITY The property is easily accessible by both car and public transport. Amsterdam RAI station is approximately 1.2 kilometers away, and Amsterdam Zuid station is about 1.9 kilometers away. Amsterdam Zuid offers excellent train and metro connections to the city center, Schiphol Airport, and other parts of the region.

Naturally, you can quickly reach Amsterdam’s city center by bicycle, and major arterial roads are easily accessible from this location. Slaakstraat 10 H thus offers the best of both worlds: quiet, comfortable living with the city literally within easy reach.

Slaakstraat 10 H is a home with character and outdoor space. It is an inviting ground-floor apartment where original details, spacious living areas, a lovely garden, and practical extras come together seamlessly. A place where indoor and outdoor living blend together, and where there is plenty of room every day to live, work, cook, relax, and spend time together.
