Andreas Schelfhoutstraat 48H
Dear Future Resident,
Writing this is bittersweet. I still remember walking in for the first time—the way the light danced on the herringbone floors, guiding me straight to the garden oasis.
This home has been my sanctuary. It’s defined by the 7 AM mist in Vondelpark, the quiet afternoons on the terrace, and the silent companionship of my cat, Thor, watching the birds from his kingdom.
I am moving on, but I leave you this guide. These are the neighborhood rituals and hidden gems that transformed a beautiful apartment into an extraordinary life.
— The Owner & Thor
For me, it is the silence. For my cat, Thor, it is his kingdom. A rare, secluded haven in Oud-Zuid where you can breathe freely, completely unseen.
The Bankirai terrace is seamlessly integrated with lush, mature planting and high-quality fencing, ensuring a fully enclosed private retreat.

Originally an agricultural area of wild meadows, this neighborhood began to develop at the end of the 19th century.
The Klein Schinkel complex was designed by architect Harry Nefkens in the 1970s.
The street is named after Andreas Schelfhout (1787–1870), a renowned 19th-century Dutch painter famous for his winterscapes.
Designed for seamless flow. The 20m² private garden acts as a natural extension of the living room, creating a combined living experience of nearly 61m².
The morning ritual begins. A dedicated coffee corner designed for the perfect brew. The rich aroma of freshly ground beans fills the space, setting a slow, deliberate pace before stepping out into the city.
As the day unfolds, morning light dances across the classic oak herringbone floors, harmonizing with the soft-curve arch floor lamp. Every corner is curated for stillness, setting a serene tone.
A custom wooden shelving unit frames the space. This is Thor’s favorite vantage point—the perfect spot for him to offer his silent companionship while watching the birds and overseeing his kingdom.
Those quiet afternoons on the terrace begin right here. Step outside to your secluded oasis, a space crafted for unwinding with a glass of wine in the breeze, completely enveloped by mature, lush greenery.
As twilight falls, the private garden transforms into an intimate, warm-lit outdoor lounge. The boundary between inside and outside vanishes, extending your sanctuary deep into the night.
A seamless blend of modern comfort and serene design. Featuring a spacious walk-in shower and an illuminated mirror that casts a soft glow over the natural stone textures, creating your own private spa retreat to end the day.
Stepping back, the true magic of the space reveals itself. Bathed in natural light, the open living area embraces a calming Wabi-Sabi aesthetic, drawing your eye straight toward the lush greenery of the private garden.
