Guided tour
We enter through the classic porch and go up one floor. The front door opens onto a bright hallway, wide and well-organized, from which all Rooms are Rooms . Straight ahead is the living room: a spacious room with herringbone flooring and a charming bay window at the front. Here, the afternoon light streams in, softly filtered by the stained-glass upper windows. You Immediately feel Immediately tranquility of the street, but also the openness of the home.
To the left of the living room is a view into the study—a pleasant corner with built-in bookcases and windows on two sides. The transition is open but framed, allowing both spaces to retain their own atmosphere.
We walk back into the hall and enter the kitchen-diner. On the right is a sleek kitchen island, on the left are French doors leading to the balcony. It feels like a morning room: here you can drink your coffee with the first rays of sunshine on your face. Thanks to the extension downstairs, the balcony is deeper than standard and offers space for a sitting area and a dining table — an outdoor room at height, with a view of greenery.
At the rear is the master bedroom, light and spacious, with room for a bed with a mosquito net, a wall cupboard, and a chair by the window. From this room, you can look out over the garden in silence. The room is directly connected to the bathroom, which is fully tiled in warm mosaic: deep brown tones, copper accents, and a natural sheen. Recessed lighting, a rain shower, double sink—everything feels well thought out and atmospheric.
Finally, we take a look at the second room at the front, currently used as a study but equally suitable as a children's room or guest room. Here too, there is pleasant light and a quiet street view.
We end up on the balcony. A chair, a sheepskin rug, a cup of tea. You hear nothing but a blackbird in the tree and the occasional rustling of bamboo. Everything about this home feels balanced. A place you can effortlessly step into—and immediately want to stay.

Résidence Franswa
Some residences grand gestures to impress—they speak in tranquility, rhythm, and refinement. Haringvliet 17-I is one such home. Everything is just right: from the bright bay window room to the extra-deep balcony, from the mosaic bathroom to the view of the green courtyard.
What makes this home special is the natural way in which the space adapts to modern life without losing its history. The classic layout has been retained, but with a contemporary refinement that you rarely encounter. Light, materials, and dimensions are in perfect balance here.
I rightly call Haringvliet 17-I Résidence Franswa. Because behind the modest façade lies a home that surprises you in all tranquility — and continues to fascinate in every detail.

On the quiet Haringvlietstraat, a prime example of the Amsterdam School style manifests itself, with its characteristic brick architecture, horizontal lines, and deep roof overhangs. The entrance is classically symmetrical, with two wooden front doors and a monumental staircase leading to the apartment above. At the top, the extension with white-painted window frames Immediately eye, like a light crown on the robust base.
Inside, you can feel how the original structure and the later modernization seamlessly reinforce each other. The space opens up in wide sightlines, with a clever view from the living room to the study, flanked by tall cupboard walls. Light falls in from two directions, filtered through white windows that reflect the rhythm of the façade. The interior is calm and layered, with warm herringbone wood floors, understated white as a base, and graphic accents in textiles and art.
The whole exudes a natural elegance. Classic where it should be, innovative where it can be. Attention to detail is evident in every aspect: from the recessed niches in the bathroom to the thoughtful routing between work, rest, and outdoor living.
The living room unfolds as a light, open space with a tranquil elegance. Soft daylight filters in through the stained-glass upper windows, casting a play of light and shadow across the herringbone floor. The balcony at the front enhances the connection with the street and offers a view of the rhythm of the neighborhood. The space is wide and inviting, with enough depth to switch between relaxed living and intimate dining.
The living room is open to the kitchen, but is subtly framed by a custom-made wall of cabinets. This separation is more of an architectural gesture than a barrier: a functional space that provides storage and allows sightlines to pass through. The heart of the kitchen is formed by a minimalist cooking island with a high-gloss top and integrated hob. Here, everything is focused on clarity, simplicity, and ease of use.
At the rear, the kitchen opens onto the east-facing balcony. The morning sun streams in freely here, bathing the dining table in soft, natural light. The recent extension of the ground floor has deepened and extended the balcony, which now protrudes beyond the original rear facade. This not only provides extra sun and space, but also a surprising feeling of airiness. The large windows and double doors create a seamless transition between indoors and outdoors, making the balcony a fully-fledged extension of the interior.
The combination of light walls, wooden floors, and carefully chosen lighting makes this room a place where you can effortlessly start and end your day. An interior that is never imposing, but always accommodating — with attention to detail and an eye for tranquility.
The master bedroom is located at the quiet rear of the house and catches the soft morning light. White-painted walls, tall windows, and an airy layout define the look of this room. The space feels light and serene, with enough depth for a generous bed, built-in wardrobes, and a seating area by the window. The view of the green courtyard provides a calm backdrop that changes with the seasons.
The room is directly connected to the bathroom, separated by a glass wall that allows light and transparency without compromising intimacy. The bathroom is fully tiled with mosaic tiles in warm bronze and copper colors, which give it a rich texture and subtle sheen. Recesses with spot lighting, a double sink, and a walk-in shower with rain shower head are seamlessly incorporated into the design.
In addition to the master bedroom, the apartment offers a second room at the front, currently used as a workspace with a bookcase and desk. Due to its corner location, this room also enjoys plenty of light—ideal as a study, children's room, or guest room. This space can also easily be converted into a full second bedroom, as shown on the alternative floor plan.
The wooden floor continues throughout all Rooms creating a visual unity that brings tranquility. This combination of refined finishes, spaciousness, and thoughtful layout makes the sleeping area a place where comfort and functionality are self-evident.
On the east side of the apartment, there is a surprisingly spacious balcony—deeper than usual and with an unobstructed view that extends beyond the rear facade. This extra space was created by the recent extension of the ground floor, which means that the balcony now protrudes much further out. This not only provides more square meters, but also more air, light, and freedom.
The balcony extends across the full width of the house and is accessible from both the kitchen and the bedroom. The wooden decking feels warm underfoot, and the white balustrade creates a tranquil frame for the view of the green inner gardens. Here you are sheltered, but never closed off — the morning sun makes this an ideal place for your first cup of coffee or a quiet lunch surrounded by greenery.
The depth of the balcony creates space for multiple functions: a dining table in one corner, a comfortable lounge chair among the plants on the other side. Large pots with bamboo, camellia, and reeds accentuate the green character of this outdoor space, which feels like a small city garden at height.
The connection with the interior remains constant. The French doors, soft lighting, and extended sightlines create a seamless transition. This is a balcony that is not just part of the home, but actually part of it.
