Alexander Boersstraat 37-H, 1071 KW Amsterdam
Situated in a prime location in the Museum Quarter of Amsterdam Zuid, on the corner of an elegant monumental building, we proudly offer this exceptional three-level ground-floor residence. With an impressive façade width of nearly 9 metres, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and an abundance of original period features, this is truly a one-of-a-kind property. Homes of this size, character, and quality rarely come to market in Oud-Zuid.
Location and surroundings
The property is located on the corner of Van Eeghenstraat and Alexander Boersstraat, a quiet and stately street in the heart of the prestigious Museum Quarter—one of the most desirable residential areas of Amsterdam Zuid. Within walking distance lies Museumplein, home to iconic cultural institutions such as the Concertgebouw, the Rijksmuseum, the Van Gogh Museum, and the Stedelijk Museum. The area is renowned for its unique blend of international allure, historic charm, and a pleasant sense of tranquility. In the immediate vicinity, you will find a wide range of high-quality shops, specialty stores, and restaurants. The nearby Cornelis Schuytstraat, P.C. Hooftstraat, and Willemsparkweg offer numerous culinary hotspots and stylish boutiques. Popular nearby venues for coffee, lunch, or dinner include CoffeeDistrict, The Marlin Bar, Visque, Café George, and Brasserie Joffers. In addition, the weekly organic market at Jacob Obrechtstraat is a beloved meeting place for local residents. Vondelpark is just a few minutes’ walk away and offers ample space for relaxation, sports, and outdoor recreation. The area is also highly suitable for families, with various excellent (international) schools, childcare facilities, sports amenities, and the wellness centre of the Conservatorium Hotel nearby.
