Deurloo 121
In 2007, I assisted the current owner with the purchase of this apartment. It’s rewarding to see that, over the years, the property has fully lived up to expectations. The spacious layout, the southwest-facing balcony, and the location in the Rivierenbuurt have proven to be defining features contributing to a long and enjoyable residency.
It’s a pleasure to present a property once again that I know well and can personally vouch for. The combination of location, layout, and outdoor space makes this a solid and complete apartment in a sought-after neighbourhood.
Deurloostraat 121 is a refined example of 1930s architecture, where the principles of the Amsterdam School are elegantly translated into residential design. The façade, composed of warm brickwork, light window frames and meticulously crafted details, reflects the character of the interwar period — a time defined by craftsmanship, symmetry and durability. The distinctive wooden entrance door with stained-glass accents forms the inviting focal point of the design, highlighting the artisanal precision with which the building was created. Every element, from the brick patterns to the roofline, contributes to an architecture that unites the charm of the 1930s with a timeless sense of elegance.
The living floor exudes light, calm and character. The classic en-suite layout separates the dining and living areas with original sliding doors and built-in cabinets, giving the spaces both connection and intimacy. At the front, the dining room features large windows overlooking the quiet street; at the rear, the living room opens through French doors onto the wide southwest-facing balcony. Here, the outdoor space forms a natural extension of the living area.
The kitchen is separately positioned and combines simplicity with functionality. A dark countertop, matte white cabinetry and original tiled wainscoting create a timeless aesthetic. With its practical layout and direct access to the balcony, it is a bright and pleasant space for cooking, overlooking the green courtyard garden.
On the sleeping floor, the spacious primary bedroom is located at the front — a calm and airy space with a charming view of the green street below. The second bedroom, situated at the rear, is equally light and quiet, with direct access to the balcony. This room is perfectly suited as a children’s room, guest room or studio — easily adaptable to individual needs and lifestyle.
The bathroom has a contemporary design in natural tones that evoke calm and simplicity. Equipped with a generous walk-in shower, toilet and washbasin cabinet, it offers a refined space for daily refreshment and relaxation.
A living floor with character combined with a sleeping level that radiates tranquillity — together creating a harmonious living experience in one of the most desirable areas of Amsterdam Zuid.
At the rear lies a balcony spanning the full width of the apartment, accessible from the living room, kitchen and rear bedroom. The south-west orientation provides afternoon and evening sun, while the sheltered position makes it a pleasant and inviting outdoor space. On the fourth floor is the building’s flat roof, where it is possible to create a roof terrace of approximately 13.5 m². This extension is subject to approval and permits but offers an appealing opportunity for those seeking additional outdoor space.
