Lange Distelstraat is located in the heart of Disteldorp, a neighborhood with a remarkable history. It was built in 1918 as a small ensemble of temporary residences, intended to provide quick and affordable housing for workers from Amsterdam-Noord. The streets were given names such as Distelweg, Distelstraat, and Distelkade; together they formed a neighborhood that still has a unique scale and intimacy. The human scale is tangible, with low facades, short sightlines, and a quiet structure that has lost little of its charm over the course of more than a century.
Both Disteldorp and Vogeldorp were built according to the philosophy of Ebenezer Howard (London, January 29, 1850 – Welwyn Garden City, May 1, 1928). This British urban planner was socially engaged. In his book "Garden Cities of To-Morrow" (1902), he sketched images of cities without slums, combining the advantages of both the city (opportunities, entertainment, higher wages) and the countryside (beauty, fresh air, and low rents). Since 2001, the village has been a municipal monument.
This house ties Immediately with that history. The façade with brickwork and wood accents fits in with the rhythm of the streetscape, where each house is slightly different, but together they form a cohesive whole. The Front garden a bench serves as a small porch between the house and the street, a place where residents greet each other and where you can feel how the village character is still alive.

From the entrance, you Immediately enter Immediately living room, while the kitchen at the end of the living area opens up the perspective. The bathroom is conveniently located next to the kitchen, without interrupting the living space. The staircase to the upper floor is subtly placed in the corner to make optimal use of the space.

The landing serves as more than just a passageway: with a desk and bookcase, it creates a compact but fully-fledged workspace, ideal for reading, studying, or working from home.
Above the floor is a loft, which serves as practical extra storage space.
