A Note on
Living Here

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 Sanctuary

Ultimate
Privacy

For me, it is the silence. For my cat, Thor, it is his kingdom. A rare, secluded haven in Oud-West 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.
