Bright and generously proportioned upper-level home with an open kitchen, sunny balcony and a spacious roof terrace. Offering a total of 133 m², with a private entrance from the second floor, this property is situated in a characterful, wider-than-average building dating from 1898, located on freehold land on the sunny side of the charming Bosboom Toussaintstraat in Oud West.
The generous proportions of this house provide not only a spacious and light filled living floor, but also a substantial sleeping floor with 3, and optionally 4, well sized bedrooms and 2 bathrooms.
LOCATION
Bosboom Toussaintstraat 11-3 is set in a pleasant part of Oud West, where urban convenience blends naturally with a green and peaceful residential atmosphere. The street itself is well laid out and lined with trees, offering a calm and relaxed feel that is not often found so centrally. At the same time, everything is within easy reach. The Jordaan is just around the corner, and the city centre, Vondelpark and Amsterdam Zuid are all quickly accessible. You live right in the heart of the city, yet with the comfort of a quiet and green street to come home to.
The neighbourhood offers a balanced mix of liveliness and convenience. Within walking distance, there are plenty of inviting places for coffee or dinner. Café Toussaint is one of those easy go-to spots, as is Ted’s for coffee or brunch, and De Italiaan or Pastis for an evening out.
For daily groceries, several supermarkets are located nearby along Eerste Constantijn Huygensstraat, Overtoom and Bilderdijkstraat. In addition, there is a wide range of specialty shops in the area, including a quality butcher, bakery and delicatessen stores, for example along Elandsgracht.
What further strengthens this location is its proximity to art and culture. You can easily walk to Internationaal Theater Amsterdam, DeLaMar Theater and Theater Bellevue. Paradiso, De Melkweg, the Rijksmuseum and the Stedelijk Museum are also within walking distance, making it effortless to enjoy a performance or concert in the evening. For families, the area is equally practical, with primary schools, playgrounds, and music and dance schools all close by.
Accessibility is excellent. By bike, you can reach the city centre, Zuid or Museumplein within minutes. Public transport, including tram and bus connections, is nearby and provides quick access across the city. By car, the A10 ring road can be reached within a few minutes, making travel outside the city straightforward.

On the third floor, the hallway welcomes you with pleasant natural light, enhanced by glass-panelled double doors.

Via the characteristic staircase, you reach the fourth floor, which offers three well-proportioned bedrooms. The main bedroom at the front stands out due to its skylight, originally designed to create consistent north-facing daylight, similar to what you would find in an artist’s studio. The result is a calm and bright space with beautifully even natural light. This room features built-in wardrobes and can also be accessed from the living room. The en suite bathroom is spacious and fitted with a bathtub, shower, double washbasin and toilet.
