Apartment of approximately 82 m², located in the Apollobuurt district. It features a spacious living room and a well-appointed kitchen with a central island that opens onto the terrace. The apartment includes two bedrooms and a bathroom fully tiled in mosaic. The property is situated on leasehold land.
Tour
Entry is via the classic portico staircase, leading up one flight of stairs. The front door opens into a bright, spacious hallway from which all rooms are accessible. Straight ahead is the living room — a wide, light-filled space with herringbone flooring and a charming bay window at the front. Afternoon sunlight streams in softly, filtered through stained-glass transom windows. You immediately feel the calm of the street, paired with the openness of the interior.
To the left of the living room, a framed opening leads to the study — a pleasant corner with built-in bookcases and windows on two sides. The transition between the rooms is open yet subtly defined, allowing each space its own character.
Returning to the hallway, we enter the kitchen. To the right: a sleek cooking island. To the left: French doors opening onto the balcony. This space feels like a morning room — the perfect place to enjoy your coffee in the first sunlight. Thanks to the ground-floor extension below, the balcony has been deepened and lengthened, offering enough space for both a dining area and a lounge corner. An outdoor room at height, with views over greenery.
At the rear of the apartment lies the primary bedroom — bright and generously proportioned, with space for a bed with mosquito netting, a built-in wardrobe, and a chair by the window. The view over the gardens is quiet and secluded. This bedroom connects directly to the bathroom, fully tiled in warm mosaic: deep brown tones, copper accents and a natural sheen. Recessed niches with lighting, a rain shower, and a double sink are seamlessly integrated into the design — both functional and atmospheric.
Finally, we visit the second room at the front. Currently used as a study, it would also work beautifully as a child’s bedroom or guest suite. Once again, generous natural light and a calm street view set the tone.
We finish on the balcony. A chair, a sheepskin, a cup of tea. The only sounds are birdsong and the soft rustling of bamboo. Everything about this home feels balanced — a place you step into with ease, and one you may never want to leave.

Résidence Franswa
Some homes don’t need grand gestures to make an impression — they speak through calm, rhythm and refinement. Haringvliet 17-I is one of those homes. Everything falls into place: from the light-filled bay window room to the extra-deep balcony, from the mosaic-tiled bathroom to the view over the green courtyard garden.
What makes this residence truly special is the effortless way the space aligns with contemporary living, without losing its historical character. The classic layout has been preserved, yet enhanced with a level of sophistication that is rarely seen. Light, materials and proportions are perfectly balanced.
I call it, with good reason, Résidence Franswa. Behind the understated façade lies a home that quietly surprises — and continues to captivate in every detail.

On the quiet Haringvlietstraat stands a striking example of the Amsterdam School, characterised by its distinctive brick architecture, horizontal lines and deep roof overhangs. The entrance is classically symmetrical, with two wooden front doors and a monumental stairwell leading to the upper-level apartment. At the top, the extension with white-painted window frames immediately catches the eye — a light crown atop a robust foundation.
Inside, the original structure and later modernisation complement each other seamlessly. The space opens into wide sightlines, including a smart through-view from the living room to the study, flanked by tall custom cabinetry. Light enters from two directions, filtered through white-framed windows that mirror the rhythm of the façade. The interior feels calm and layered, with warm herringbone-patterned wooden floors, a base of understated whites, and graphic accents in textiles and art.
The overall impression is one of effortless elegance — classic where it matters, contemporary where it can be. Every detail reflects care and intention: from the recessed niches in the bathroom to the well-considered flow between living, working and outdoor spaces.
The living room unfolds as a bright, open space with a quiet elegance. Soft daylight filters through stained-glass transom windows, casting delicate patterns of light and shadow across the herringbone floor. The balcony at the front enhances the connection to the street and offers a view of the neighbourhood’s daily rhythm. The room is wide and inviting, with enough depth to transition effortlessly between relaxed living and intimate dining.
The living area flows openly into the kitchen, subtly framed by a custom-built cabinet wall. This partition acts more as an architectural gesture than a barrier — a functional in-between space that offers storage while maintaining visual continuity. At the heart of the kitchen stands a minimalist island with a high-gloss surface and integrated cooktop. Everything here is designed for clarity, simplicity and ease of use.
At the rear, the kitchen opens onto the east-facing balcony. The morning sun pours in freely, bathing the dining table in soft natural light. Due to the recent extension of the ground-floor residence below, the balcony has been deepened and lengthened — now projecting beyond the original rear façade. This not only provides more space and sunlight, but also introduces an unexpected sense of openness. Large windows and double doors create a seamless transition between indoors and out, turning the balcony into a true extension of the living space.
The combination of light-toned walls, wooden flooring and carefully selected lighting makes this room a place where the day can begin — and end — effortlessly. An interior that never imposes, but always supports — with attention to detail and a deep sense of calm.
The primary bedroom is located at the quiet rear side of the apartment and catches the gentle morning light. White-painted walls, tall windows and an airy layout define the space. The atmosphere is bright and serene, with ample depth for a generous bed, built-in wardrobes and a comfortable window seat. The view of the green courtyard provides a calm backdrop that shifts with the seasons.
The bedroom connects directly to the bathroom, separated by a glass partition that allows light and openness without sacrificing privacy. The bathroom is fully tiled with mosaic in warm bronze and copper tones, offering rich texture and a subtle sheen. Recessed shelves with spot lighting, a double vanity and a walk-in rain shower are seamlessly integrated into the design.
In addition to the primary bedroom, there is a second room at the front of the apartment, currently used as a study with bookshelves and a desk. Thanks to its corner position, this space also benefits from an abundance of natural light — ideal as a study, children’s room or guest bedroom. This room can also be easily converted into a full second bedroom, as shown on the alternative floor plan.
The wooden flooring continues throughout all rooms, creating a sense of calm and visual continuity. This combination of refined finishes, spaciousness and thoughtful layout makes the sleeping quarters a place where comfort and functionality come naturally.
On the eastern side of the apartment, a surprisingly spacious balcony unfolds — deeper than usual and with an open outlook that extends beyond the rear façade. This additional outdoor space was created through the recent extension of the ground-floor residence, allowing the balcony to project further outward. The result is not just extra square metres, but a greater sense of light, air and freedom.
Spanning the full width of the apartment, the balcony is accessible from both the kitchen and the bedroom. The wooden deck feels warm underfoot, while the white balustrade gently frames views of the lush inner gardens. Sheltered yet open, this is an ideal spot to enjoy the morning sun — perfect for a quiet coffee or a relaxed lunch surrounded by greenery.
Its generous depth allows for multiple functions: a dining table in one corner, a comfortable lounge chair among the plants in another. Large pots with bamboo, camellia and ornamental grasses enhance the balcony’s garden-like atmosphere — a green city retreat elevated above ground level.
The connection to the interior remains ever-present. French doors, soft daylight and elongated sightlines create a seamless transition. This is not just a balcony that accompanies the apartment — it is an integral part of the living experience.
