Apartment of approximately 94 sqm, located in the Apollobuurt. It offers a bright living room with open-plan kitchen, two bedrooms, a central bathroom and a balcony. The property is situated on leasehold land issued by the City of Amsterdam, with the ground lease perpetually bought off.
Tour
Take the lift to the fourth floor, where just three apartments share the landing. Upon entering, the natural light is immediately striking — with windows on three sides, the apartment feels open and bright. From the hallway, the floor plan unfolds intuitively. At the front lies the open-plan living area, with a dining nook set in the bay window. The kitchen connects seamlessly, featuring a central island and clean-lined design. Thanks to the corner position and large windows, the sightlines are long and daylight is abundant. On the other side of the hallway are two bedrooms, both with access to the balcony. The primary bedroom overlooks the inner gardens toward Stadionweg. The bathroom is efficiently and stylishly appointed, with a walk-in shower and modern vanity. The apartment also includes a separate storage room in the basement and is located on leasehold land issued by the Municipality of Amsterdam, with the ground lease paid off in perpetuity. Outdoors, you’ll find the calm of the Apollobuurt, with the city’s energy just a short walk away. Minervaplein 29-IV offers a well-maintained, light-filled living environment in one of Amsterdam Zuid’s most desirable neighbourhoods.

De Lichtlijn van Zuid
Sometimes, everything falls into place — the location, the atmosphere, the view, the finish. Minervaplein 29-IV is one of those rare apartments where every detail has been chosen with care: understated, elegant, and intentional. With windows on three sides, it is filled with daylight from early morning until evening, and features a balcony overlooking a serene patchwork of city gardens. This apartment — which we call the Light Line of Zuid — combines everyday comfort with quiet sophistication. Not a grand gesture, but a home that slowly gets under your skin. Peacefully situated in the Apollobuurt, on the fourth floor with lift access, yet deeply connected to the city’s rhythm and network.
Whether it’s the view, the light, or the calm layout that draws you in — you stay for the feeling that everything simply fits. And that is exactly what makes this place so special.
Design Vision
At the distinguished Minervaplein, in the heart of the Beethovenbuurt, this corner building forms a natural anchor within the urban rhythm of Berlage’s Plan Zuid. The façade — composed of characteristic brickwork, a natural stone base and white-framed windows — reflects the meticulous detailing of the Interwar period, an era in which expression met monumentality. The architecture exudes the calm confidence of the Amsterdam School, with its geometric lines, recessed window bays and rhythmic repetition of forms. Prominent bay windows capture and direct the light inward, while stylised wrought-iron mailboxes and the original entranceway still echo the building’s early design. Its expressive character is supported by a clear architectural language — never excessive, always measured.
The main living level unfolds as a coherent spatial whole, where light, rhythm and openness take centre stage.
Wining and dining
The living floor is defined by an open and functional layout, where light and space take centre stage. The living room spans the full width of the apartment and features large south-facing windows overlooking Minervaplein and the rooftops of the Beethovenbuurt. Thanks to the bay window, daylight floods in throughout the day, while in the evening the space transforms into an inviting and atmospheric setting. The seating area is generously sized, and the herringbone-laid wooden flooring continues seamlessly throughout the apartment, enhancing the sense of cohesion and spatial flow. The layout is logical and clear: the hallway connects smoothly to the living room and continues into the kitchen — all without visual interruption. The kitchen follows a minimalist design, with handleless high-gloss white cabinetry and a ceramic worktop. A centrally placed island subtly separates the kitchen from the living space while maintaining a sense of openness. The kitchen is equipped with built-in Siemens appliances, including a fridge-freezer combination, raised dishwasher, combination oven with microwave function, four-zone induction hob, stainless steel extractor hood and a Quooker Combi tap. Throughout the floor, the design reflects a focus on calm, simplicity and functionality. Clean lines, natural tones and carefully selected materials create a harmonious living environment where each area complements the next — without compromising on openness or comfort.
Rest and refresh
The bedrooms are located at the quiet rear of the home, with direct access to the balcony. The primary bedroom is generously proportioned and wrapped in a soft green wall tone that evokes calm. Large windows on two sides fill the room with natural light and serenity — the day begins here with tranquil views over the city gardens stretching towards Stadionweg and Murillostraat.
On the opposite side, a second bedroom offers the same access to the balcony and is ideally suited as a guest room, children’s bedroom or home office. Here too, the natural light creates a peaceful and airy atmosphere. Both rooms feature a herringbone floor that continues seamlessly from the living area, reinforcing visual unity and calm throughout the home.
The bathroom is minimalist and clean-lined, finished in a palette of white and anthracite. A spacious walk-in shower with rain head and glass screen forms the central element. The space is refined with large-format wall tiles, a sleek vanity unit and a designer radiator. A horizontal frosted-glass window band allows daylight to filter in without compromising privacy.
Every detail is designed to encourage rest — no excess, only thoughtful precision.
Balcony
The balcony spans the full width of the rear façade and is accessible from both bedrooms. This quiet, sheltered outdoor space offers a lovely view of the deep inner gardens that stretch between Stadionweg and Murillostraat. The greenery here forms a layered landscape of planting and classic urban gardens — a living painting that changes with the seasons.
Thanks to its north-eastern orientation, the balcony receives generous morning light. For the rest of the day, it remains pleasantly shaded, while sunlight continues to stream into the apartment through the other façades. Inside, you enjoy warmth and brightness; outside, tranquillity and shelter.
A perfect spot for morning coffee, a good book, or a quiet conversation — anchored in the rhythm of the city, yet shielded from its noise.
The cafés and restaurants along Beethovenstraat — such as Van der Veen and Ferilli’s — give the area a young and dynamic atmosphere. At nearby Olympiaplein, you’ll find renowned local favourites like bakery Le Fournil and cheese shop Fromagerie L’Amuse. The wide boulevards and green spaces of the Beatrixpark — with its modern sculptures and mature trees — offer a sense of openness and are ideal for sports and relaxation.
