Villa at Vondelpark for 20 million euros: It's like the Côte d'Azur

A detached villa located near Vondelpark in Amsterdam is currently the city's most expensive property on the market, listed for 20 million euros. While the home offers expansive living space and prime positioning, experts note that the asking price per square meter far exceeds local averages.

A detached villa on the Oranje Nassaulaan in Amsterdam's Oud-Zuid district has hit the market with an asking price of 20 million euros, making it the most expensive home currently for sale in the city. Spanning 560 square meters, the property features six bedrooms, five bathrooms, and an underground garage for four vehicles. The estate offers significant space for luxury living, including potential areas for a home gym, a private nanny suite, or an elevator installation.

While real estate expert Erik Rezelman acknowledges the prestige of the location, he notes that the price of 35,000 euros per square meter is unusually high compared to the local average of 12,500 euros. The current owner purchased the villa twenty years ago for four million euros and stands to make a substantial profit. Despite concerns regarding the home's energy label and high price tag, experts anticipate that the property will likely sell within a few months due to high demand for exclusive city residences.
