This charming and well-maintained ground-floor unit, measuring approximately 55 m², along with a garden shed of approximately 15 m², stands out thanks to its original 1930s features, practical layout, and lovely southeast-facing garden.
Guided tour
The living space at the front is supported by the bay window—a lookout point onto the street, where the light streams in beautifully. There is room here for a spacious seating area, which is sheltered yet connected to the street through the tall windows. On the other side of the room, a long dining table serves as a central anchor point. The stained-glass door and the light make this place particularly suitable for dinners, game nights, or long after-dinner conversations. The wooden floor runs in a straight line from front to back, emphasizing the length of the house, while the color palette of soft white and sand tones ties the house together.
The kitchen is the link between the living room and garden. A functional and contemporary kitchen designed as a long line with a robust worktop, a generous stove, and smart cupboard space. The kitchen is equipped with a gas stove with oven, combination microwave, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer. The connection between the kitchen and dining room is maintained thanks to the open passageway—cooking and dining are inextricably linked here.
These living spaces are as elegant as they are functional. They move with the day, with moments of togetherness and tranquility, of cooking and socializing—at your own pace, in your own rhythm.
bedrooms
The master bedroom is Immediately the greenery and is connected to the terrace by double French doors. The color scheme is subtle and soft; the green paneling enhances the feeling of shelter and security. Next to the master bedroom is a second bedroom that currently serves as a dressing room, with a spacious full-length wardrobe. Of course, it would also be ideal as a nursery or office. The wooden floor continues throughout all Rooms creating a calm, cohesive living space.
The bathroom is compact but well thought out, with a walk-in shower, wall-mounted toilet, and sleek washbasin unit. The combination of white wall tiles, anthracite gray floor tiles, and glass creates a contemporary, clean look. A glass sliding door and storage compartments make optimal use of the space.
Outdoor space
As soon as you step outside from the kitchen or bedroom, a green oasis unfolds to the southeast. The garden is wide and deep enough to create different zones: a spacious terrace with room for both a lounge set and an outdoor table, surrounded by lush hydrangeas, climbing plants, and ornamental grasses.
The wooden decking blends in nicely with the interior floor and enhances the feeling of space. Here you can enjoy the first rays of sunshine until the afternoon. At the back is a well-maintained garden shed of approx. 15 m² that serves as a workspace, storage room, and laundry room. It is heated, insulated, and equipped with windows—a valuable addition to the living space. Inside, it is furnished as a home office, with plenty of daylight and a view of the greenery.

Over the years, I have sold several apartments in the Rivierenbuurt neighborhood. Each home has its own character and unique features. This charming and well-maintained ground floor apartment of approximately 55 m² with a garden shed of approximately 15 m² stands out thanks to its original 1930s features, practical layout, and lovely southeast-facing garden.
About five years ago, I purchased this apartment on behalf of the current owners. The light, the atmosphere, the lovely garden, and the quiet street made itSold Immediately Sold . Hopefully, the new owner will experience it in the same way.

The Rivierenbuurt is part of Plan Zuid and was built in the 1920s and 1930s. The urban development plan was designed by architect H.P.
