MONUMENTAL and Atmospheric Family Home

Atmosphere and style define this beautifully light and surprisingly cozy townhouse, located close to the city and surrounded by lush greenery. The property is known for its distinctive ‘theatre barn’ with a seven-meter-high ceiling, which has been transformed into a warm living room with unique details – such as metal roof trusses and an antique marble fireplace.

The historic façade and impressive veranda – inspired by the American Colonial style and 17th–18th century country estates of the Vecht region – offer a grand entrance to a spacious home of over 380 sqm, with the charm of an Amsterdam townhouse.

In a thoughtful renovation, the current owners, in collaboration with Flow Works, have beautifully realized the concept of urban living combined with a strong sense of the outdoors. Noteworthy are the tall double doors that bring in abundant natural light and create an open connection between the rooms, all enhanced by a restrained color palette and ambiance inspired by classic Corso Como, Milan.

The house is just 15 minutes from Amsterdam, adjacent to the sought-after village center of Abcoude with all amenities nearby. It offers an optimal layout with two living rooms, five spacious bedrooms, two large bathrooms, and an open library – providing exceptionally generous living space for a growing family or a live/work home.

The rear façade, with its impressive glass wall, creates a natural ‘inside-to-outside’ experience of the garden (approx. 270 m²), where the thoughtful use of color and materials allows the living room and kitchen to flow seamlessly into the outdoor greenery, the weathered wooden deck, and the sheltered garden house.

This stunning townhouse welcomes visitors with an authentic entrance, reminiscent of old carriage houses, featuring a vestibule and iconic staircase. The spaciousness is felt throughout: wide and tall hallways, airy rooms, and a continuous flow between all areas.

The grand spaces, carefully designed lighting, and historical materials turn this unique monument with a rich past (formerly Abcoude’s village café) into a perfect family home, lovingly shaped by its current owners.

LAYOUT

GROUND FLOOR

Large stately entrance with wood paneling, double doors, and Piet Jonker tiled flooring. The entry underscores the home’s historical character and spaciousness, featuring ample built-in storage and a generous wardrobe.
From the entrance with high ceilings, a hallway with six pivoting glass doors leads to the front and rear living areas, laid with warm Hungarian point oak flooring.

At the front, a spacious living/working room benefits from its corner location, flooding the room with natural light. This room connects via double doors to the hall or via pivot doors to the kitchen and rear living room. The hallway also includes a large toilet with a fountain sink.

The open kitchen features walnut cabinetry and Belgian bluestone flooring, equipped with built-in appliances by Gaggenau and Siemens. A Barbas wood-burning stove adds coziness. The open plan connects to the former theatre space with soaring ceilings of approx. 7 meters, a classical marble fireplace, and an impressive glass wall that opens out onto the backyard with a Padouk wood deck and a wooden garden house. The garden is equipped with water and electrical outlets throughout.

FIRST FLOOR

Spacious sleeping level with a wide landing and custom cabinetry, accessible via a spectacular wooden staircase (architect-designed).
At the front, overlooking the Angstel River, is a generous office/bedroom with French doors leading into the master bedroom, where large windows and bamboo shutters define the atmosphere.

SECOND FLOOR

The beautiful staircase continues to the second floor, where you'll find an open library, two bedrooms, and a second bathroom.
