The building
This beautiful residence, a masterpiece by architect G. de Wilde from 1920, exudes the rich Amsterdam School style of that era. It’s interesting to note that this style was typically applied to blocks of buildings, schools, and government buildings, but here it’s applied to an individual villa. This makes Oranje Nassaulaan 57 truly special.
The house is designed to accommodate a family, and that’s precisely what it has done for the past 20 years, and likely will again in the future. The house is perfectly suited for family life, with spacious rooms and beautiful natural light from no less than three different sun directions. This is quite unique for a property on the odd-numbered side of Oranje Nassaulaan. It feels like a place where family happiness and historical beauty come together
Living and cooking
The entrance is accessed via a stone outdoor staircase leading to a vestibule and central hall. The impressive staircase is at the heart of the house, lending it character and grandeur. From the hall, you have access to a cloakroom and a guest toilet. The spacious kitchen, situated on the garden side, is open to the dining room, which, in turn, connects to the sitting room on the street side. These spaces are separated by a gas fireplace that is visible from both sides. The kitchen, with a large island, forms the heart of the house and provides access to the garden through French doors, as well as the dining room. The front-facing sitting room features a beautiful round bay window overlooking the private garden. Thanks to the many windows and the southwestern orientation, these spaces are particularly bright and sunny. Adjacent to the entrance is a pleasant study with a built-in closet.

Guest accommodation and outdoor space
