Apartment of approximately 109 m², located in the Rivierenbuurt neighborhood. The apartment has a living room, kitchen, three bedrooms, bathroom, and a garden.
Guided tour
We start on Geleenstraat, under the trees, in front of a facade that exudes rhythm and tranquility. The stone steps lead to a classic porch, where the dark wooden front door between granite posts already hints at the robustness inside. Once you cross the threshold, you enter a deep hall that organizes the house: turn left to the living areas, straight ahead to the garden. The living room at the front welcomes you with light and stained glass; the southern light shines in brightly and subtly colors the space. The herringbone floor, the high ceilings, the quiet class of the finish: this is a space that breathes. Through sliding doors with stained glass, you walk through to the dining room, where the length of the house unfolds. The garden beckons. The kitchen is in the corner, open but not overly present. White, wood, overview. From the kitchen counter, you can see the greenery outside. Here you cook with a view and fresh air. You step right into the garden: a spacious patio with trees, seating areas, space. On three sides, windows and doors open onto this centerpiece of the house. Inside and outside flow together. The bedrooms are at the rear. The main room is Immediately the garden, with white woodwork and soft tones. In the extension (former storage room) are two additional Rooms, light and quiet, one with its own sink and the other as a workspace. Between these rooms is the bathroom: under a sloping line, with a bathtub, fresh tiles, and a nod to the color accent in the stained glass. The whole feels logical, clear, and layered. A home that does not impose itself, but slowly unfolds, and where the tranquility of the garden sets the tone.

De Geleenbeek No. 40
As a real estate agent, I visit many neighborhoods throughout the city, but the Rivierenbuurt remains special. The neighborhood has a modest elegance set to the rhythm of the Plan Zuid with wide avenues, lots of light, and an almost village-like tranquility, while the city is just around the corner. It is this balance that makes it so attractive to many people: a neighborhood that feels right and breathes. The apartment at Geleenstraat 40-H, which we are privileged to assist with the sale of, is a fine example of this. Everything is on one level, with a spacious city garden at the heart of the home. At the front, you feel the structure of the city, while at the rear, you enjoy the tranquility of a green courtyard. The layout is logical, light, and relaxed. If you are curious, I would be happy to show you this special ground floor apartment in person. Feel free to email or call for an appointment. See you on Geleenstraat.

The building at Geleenstraat 40 is a fine example of Amsterdam city architecture from the interwar period, built in 1933 as part of the Plan Zuid. The style is sober, with influences from the Amsterdam School, but at the same time rational and well thought-out in line with the emerging functionalist principles of the time. The symmetrical facade is constructed of warm, deep brown brick and is characterized by bay windows, clean joints, and vertical rows of windows that give the facade rhythm and depth. Vertical accents are interspersed with subtle horizontal bands, creating a balanced composition. The entrance is framed in natural stone, recessed into an austere porch and fitted with dark wooden doors with stained-glass windows above. These are beautiful craftsmanship details that add warmth and character to the bright whole. The combination of brick, natural stone, and woodwork creates a modest but distinctive look that enhances the streetscape. The architecture follows Berlage's philosophy: orderly, clear, and tailored to the collective, but with an eye for individual living. This is reflected in the spatial design of the home itself, with a generous floor plan and a peaceful city garden as a sheltered centerpiece. What appears structured and solid on the outside turns out to be surprisingly light, open, and fluid on the inside.
The front living room is bright, spacious, and well-proportioned. Three tall windows capture the bright southern light, filtered through a distinctive stained-glass skylight in warm tones. The glasswork creates a lively play of colors on the wall and emphasizes the quiet elegance of the space. The original herringbone wood floor adds texture, while the understated wall finish provides a calm base that allows furniture and art to come into their own. Two sliding doors with stained glass panels connect the living room to the dining room. This classic transition opens up the space without losing its intimacy. In the dining room, the length of the house is palpable: a single straight line of sight runs from the front facade to the city garden. The French doors to the outside reinforce the connection between indoors and outdoors and bathe the space in northwestern light. Behind the dining room is the kitchen, partially out of sight yet fully integrated into the living space. The layout is practical and open, with white fronts and a wooden worktop that brings warmth. The window above the sink offers a view of the greenery of the courtyard garden. Here you can cook with daylight on the worktop and in contact with the rest of the house. The kitchen line is compact but complete, with sufficient cupboard space and smart open shelves that add an informal accent.
The apartment has three bedrooms, each with its own atmosphere and function, but connected by a shared sense of tranquility, simplicity, and softness. The master bedroom is located on the garden side. With French doors opening onto the outside, white shutters, and a neutral color scheme, this is a calm and sheltered place. The room exudes simplicity and serenity, ideal for a deep night's sleep or a peaceful start to the day. The closet offers practical comfort without interrupting the tranquility of the interior. In the extension (former storage room) there are two more spacious Rooms, both with natural light and modern laminate flooring. One of the Rooms currently furnished as a workspace with a warm, natural look and classic paneling. A nice, enclosed place for concentration or creative work. The other room serves as a guest room and has its own sink, ideal for guests. The bathroom is compact but elegantly furnished and equipped with a bathtub with a glass shower screen. The sloping ceiling line gives the whole room an intimate atmosphere, while the white wall tiles and black mosaic floor create a fresh and timeless look. A subtle color accent in the tiling refers to the stained glass elsewhere in the house, a nod to the past in a contemporary setting. The washbasin unit with mirror cabinet offers storage space and a tidy whole.
At the heart of the home lies the city garden: a sheltered outdoor space of surprising size, enclosed by the building's own facades and offering plenty of privacy. Its southwestern location, combined with the open structure of the courtyard, ensures plenty of sunlight until late in the afternoon. This is not a shady backyard, but a fully-fledged outdoor room with a lively atmosphere. The terrace is spacious and neatly tiled, with room for several seating areas, a barbecue, and greenery all around. The mature tree at the edge of the terrace provides natural cooling and structure in the summer. The garden is accessible through French doors from the dining room and through doors from Rooms surrounding Rooms, which makes the relationship between indoors and outdoors self-evident. The glass windows all around further reinforce that connection. Even from the hall and Rooms behind, the garden Rooms visible: a place of tranquility that accompanies you throughout the house. The absence of overlooking windows contributes to the feeling of privacy. Here you live in the middle of the city, yet in a place that feels like a private courtyard.
