The building was completely rebuilt in 1955 and given a modern architectural style using concrete and wood. The former coach house has been replaced by a building with four residences. The building's appearance clearly reflects the period in which it was built: a traditional canal house style, but executed in a sober, modern form. The facade is symmetrical and constructed from clear vertical axes with large windows, reminiscent of classic Amsterdam buildings. However, the ornamentation is minimal, which is typical of post-World War II reconstruction architecture. Originally, there was a space for a garage or workspace at the bottom, indicating a multifunctional use of the building. The facade is constructed of brick, with an emphasis on clean lines and simple surface divisions. This style respects the scale and rhythm of the historic city center, but is adapted to the modern construction needs of the 1950s. Functionalism and efficiency played an important role in this period of recovery. Architects wanted to build practically, but without losing the character of the city. This resulted in a style that looks historical but is contemporary in its execution. The current owners have tastefully renovated and optimally laid out the space, with plenty of light and a beautiful connection from the street to the garden.
The kitchen is tastefully finished in sturdy concrete and elegant stainless steel. The layout of the space is well thought out and invites you to enjoy long meals. The cozy lounge area connects to the kitchen and is a perfect place to relax, read a good book, or watch a great movie.
There are three bedrooms at the rear of the house. The master bedroom has built-in wardrobes and French doors leading to the garden. The two (children's)bedrooms very tastefully and cleverly laid out, with built-in wardrobes and accompanying loft beds/bunk beds to make maximum use of the height.
The characteristic courtyard garden has a lot of character thanks to the historic, spacious canal gardens and the beautiful authentic trees and plants. The garden has a Floor area approximately 36 m², offers a lot of privacy, and is perfectly laid out with a dining and lounge area.

We have thoroughly enjoyed living here. Everything about this house and this location was perfect for us, and we hope that the next residents will be just as happy here as we have been. We are a family of five and are fortunate to be able to move to a larger home just a few hundred meters away. It still has the Amstelveldje as Rear garden something we absolutely did not want to miss out on. In 2015, we turned this former garage into a unique home. The industrial style fits perfectly with the character of the building, yet the house feels warm and livable. Because we love cooking, eating, drinking, and entertaining friends and family, we deliberately invested in the kitchen. In terms of space and appearance, it has become the heart of the house: large, inviting, and Immediately to the street, so that you can be part of the life outside if you want to. In the morning, it is wonderfully quiet here. I like to sit with a cup of coffee on the wooden box by the window or, weather permitting, in the French doors in the sun. As the street slowly awakens, you see people walking by on the renovated sidewalk where cars used to park. You wake up here with the city, but also with space, tranquility, and the sound of birds. That remains special. The space in the house has brought us so much. Especially with young children, it's a relief to have so much openness. And our parents, who are now elderly, also find it ideal that everything is on one level. No stairs, no hassle. Everything is accessible, clear, and pleasant. What we also greatly appreciate is that, despite the central location, you really have privacy here. The street is lively, but you can easily retreat. The back of the house is an oasis of peace. In the summer, the doors are open all day and the outdoor space feels like an extension of the living room. You can relax in the sun or eat together. Green, light, and space: that's what you experience here every day. And then there's the neighborhood... The street is cozy, the neighbors are fantastic, and life often takes place on the Amstelveld—especially on weekends, when everyone gathers there. Utrechtsestraat is a wonderful place to shop, with great specialty stores (such as the butcher, cheese shop, wine shop) and fantastic restaurants such as Watergang and Zoldering. Even closer to home, you can enjoy the terrace at Cenc, Marcella, or Bar Dó on Vijzelgracht, have a drink at De Heuvel or Oosterling, or get ice cream at Van Soest. The options are endless. What makes this house unique? The height. The width. The light. The view. The freedom. Here, you live with the city at your feet, without worrying about neighbors hearing you—or you hearing them. You can cook, dine, dance, sit outside, entertain guests, experience the city—or choose not to. Anything is possible here.
