Tour

From here, doors open directly onto the generous south-facing terrace, which spans the full width of the home. Measuring over 28 square metres, it provides ample space for both dining and lounging areas, and offers tranquillity and privacy thanks to its position overlooking the inner gardens.

Neighbourhood
The Beethoven neighbourhood continues to reflect the urban vision that architect H.P. Berlage impressed upon the area in the early twentieth century. His design introduced wide avenues, greenery and architectural variety. From villas and apartment buildings to stately townhouses — this 1930s district, almost entirely surrounded by water, is known for its spacious homes in the Amsterdam School style. The sculptural façade details and bridge ornaments by Hildo Krop, the city’s celebrated sculptor, lend the area additional character and charm. Beethovenstraat and the shops around Olympiaplein give the neighbourhood a youthful and dynamic atmosphere, with inviting cafés, lunch spots and restaurants. The street also offers a refined range of artisanal stores, including a bakery, fishmonger, butcher, patisserie and wine boutique. Around Olympiaplein you’ll find Le Fournil bakery, Fromagerie L’Amuse and Coffee District, while Zikking butcher’s shop is located on Marathonweg, just five minutes away. Every Friday, a fine organic market takes place at Minervaplein. The wide boulevards and green expanses of Beatrixpark, with its sculptures and mature trees, create a sense of openness and are ideal for leisure and recreation. The area is known for its excellent primary and secondary schools and its convenient proximity to the A10 ring road and Amsterdam Zuid station. The Beethoven neighbourhood represents a perfect harmony of historic charm and modern convenience — a refined environment offering residents a rich array of amenities.

Design Vision
Titiaanstraat 23-1 forms part of a characteristic residential block in Amsterdam Oud-Zuid, designed in the style of the Amsterdam School. The façade is distinguished by expressive brickwork, strong horizontal lines and a carefully composed arrangement of windows. The entrance, featuring a stone staircase and a private front door, emphasises the individuality of the residence within the ensemble. Inside, the floor plan offers a clear and balanced layout, with a logical distinction between the living and sleeping quarters. The living and dining areas are situated at the front of the apartment, while the quieter rear accommodates three bedrooms and the kitchen. Large windows ensure a pleasant influx of natural light, particularly at the front of the home. At the rear, a spacious terrace connects the residence to the green inner courtyard.

Living and Dining
The living floor is bright, well-structured and harmoniously balanced. At the front lies the living room, separated from the dining area by characteristic en suite doors with stained glass. This configuration provides both spatial coherence and functional distinction. The space is defined by natural light, the herringbone parquet flooring and the classic stone fireplace detail. The dining area connects seamlessly to the kitchen, located at the rear. This enclosed kitchen is finished in neutral tones, with a subtle linear pattern in the wall tiling and a dark natural stone worktop. All appliances are fully integrated and of high quality. From the kitchen, a door opens directly onto the deep south-facing terrace, creating a comfortable and efficient daily flow. The circulation between the various living spaces is logical and thoughtfully designed. The living and dining rooms are inviting for entertaining, while the kitchen offers calm and clarity. Altogether, a balanced layout in which comfort and functionality coexist in perfect harmony.
Sleeping and Bathing
At the rear of the residence are three full-sized bedrooms, each with access to the sunny balcony. The primary bedroom is divided into two sections — the adjoining room can serve as a walk-in closet, workspace or nursery. The two additional rooms are well-suited as children’s bedrooms, guest rooms or studies, each benefiting from pleasant natural light and direct outdoor access through French doors. The centrally located bathroom is efficiently designed and features a bathtub, separate shower and a wide washbasin with double taps. The finishes are neutral and refined, with white tiling and a calm flooring tone. From the hallway, a separate toilet is accessible, independent of the main bathroom. The combination of comfortable bedrooms, direct outdoor connection and neatly executed sanitary finishes makes this residence well-suited to various family compositions and stages of life.
Outdoor Space
At the rear of the residence lies a spacious and sunlit terrace of over 25 m², fully south-facing. Spanning the entire width of the façade, it allows all bedrooms and the kitchen direct access to this outdoor space. French doors create a natural flow between interior and exterior, enhancing the living experience throughout every season. The terrace offers ample room for both a large dining table and a comfortable lounge area, with additional space for greenery or a compact city garden. Its sheltered position, overlooking a lush inner courtyard with mature trees, ensures a tranquil and private atmosphere. The wooden decking and robust railing complement the architectural character of the building, giving the terrace a refined and enduring appearance. An outdoor space of this scale is rare in this neighbourhood and serves as a valuable extension of daily life within the home.
