Neighborhood Guide
Two hundred years ago, the site where Museumplein now stands was still home to farms. To create more living space, construction of the Museum Quarter began here at the start of the last century. The influence of architect Cuypers is evident; in addition to the first residences , he residences designed the Rijksmuseum in the Neo-Gothic style. This period is beautifully captured in Thomas Rosenboom’s *Publieke Werken*. Together with the Concertgebouw in the Neo-Renaissance style, this building defines the character of the neighborhood.
With the arrival of the Van Gogh Museum, Gerrit Rietveld’s contemporary architecture also came to Museumplein. The selection of restaurants, cafés, and shops is as eclectic as the architectural styles and fits perfectly with the neighborhood’s international allure. Haute couture connoisseurs and shoppers can visit P.C. Hooftstraat for fashion houses like Burberry, Ba&sh, and Isabel Marant Étoile. The great thing about this neighborhood is that the City Center, De Pijp, and Amsterdam Zuid—including Vondelpark—are all within walking distance.

Judith de Jong | Real estate agent Broersma Wonen
Gabriel Metsustraat is located in the heart of Amsterdam Oud-Zuid, a neighborhood that was developed in the late 19th and early 20th centuries as a chic extension of the city. The street is named after the 17th-century painter Gabriel Metsu and still exudes the sophistication of the era in which it was built.
Architecturally, the street is characterized by a harmonious blend of classical architectural styles, mainly neo-Renaissance and Berlagian-inspired. The townhouses and apartment blocks were built between approximately 1900 and 1920 and exemplify the transition from richly decorated facades to a more sober, expressive design language.
The facades in the street are generally constructed of warm red or brown brick, often in combination with sandstone or bluestone accents. Verticality plays a major role: tall windows, slender bay windows, and stylized facade structures create a stately appearance. Ornate elements such as facade ornaments, wrought-iron balcony railings, and carefully designed entrance areas testify to craftsmanship and attention to detail.
The small scale of the street is striking in comparison to nearby main streets such as Johannes Vermeerstraat or Van Breestraat. This gives Gabriel Metsustraat a more intimate, almost private atmosphere. The street is wide, with mature trees on both sides and relatively little traffic, which contributes to the feeling of tranquility and elegance.
The buildings along Gabriel Metsustraat are partly protected as a cityscape and are a well-preserved example of the high-quality urban planning of Oud-Zuid.
Behind a communal entrance lies the door to a distinctive apartment, located on the second floor of a monumental building dating from 1911. The central staircase leads to the spacious, light-filled living room with a ceiling height of no less than 2.92 meters.
The semi-open kitchen connects seamlessly to this space: sleekly designed in a light color scheme and equipped with modern built-in appliances. It is a functional space with a five-burner gas hob, combi-oven/microwave, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer.
From the living room, the apartment offers a view of two worlds: at the rear, a green, secluded courtyard garden; at the front, the classic streetscape of Amsterdam Oud-Zuid.
The entire apartment has sturdy herringbone wooden flooring.
A separate closet space has a practical setup for a washing machine, dryer, and extra storage space in the form of built-in closets and a walk-in closet.
The bedroom is located at the front of the apartment, with direct access to a spacious and well-finished bathroom. It features a walk-in shower, double sink, toilet, and a generous bathtub, all finished with chic dark tiles, white plastered walls, and natural daylight thanks to the windows.
The double doors between the bedroom and living room give the apartment extra character and allow light from the front to flood into the living area. From the bedroom, you look out over Van Miereveldstraat.
Light oak flooring runs throughout the apartment, laid in a herringbone pattern—a connecting element that brings peace and unity. What sets this apartment apart is the careful balance between historic charm and contemporary living comfort. A place where peace, space, and refinement come together.
At the rear, adjacent to the living room, the apartment has a sunny south-facing loggia. This space is bathed in daylight and forms an extension of the living room. The sliding doors give this loggia a dual function: a wonderful place to enjoy the sun, and an indoor, sheltered space with a clear connection to the outside.
Where the Museumplein is now, there were farms 200 years ago. At the beginning of the 20th century, construction of the Museum Quarter began here, with the characteristic touch of architect Cuypers, who residences not only the Rijksmuseum but also the first residences . The Concertgebouw in neo-Renaissance style and Gerrit Rietveld's Van Gogh Museum give the district its rich architectural contrast.
The neighborhood exudes culture and elegance, with a range of restaurants, cafés, and shops that is as varied as the architectural styles. For fashion lovers, the nearby P.C. Hooftstraat is a true paradise, with international brands such as Burberry, Ba&sh, and Isabel Marant Étoile. The city center, De Pijp, and Amsterdam-Zuid are within walking distance, as is the Vondelpark.
