Reigerstraat 103816 AX AmersfoortComponistenbuurt-Noord

AMERSFOORT – REIGERSTRAAT 10 At Reigerstraat 10 in Amersfoort stands a building that does not immediately reveal what lies behind its façade. A wolf in sheep’s clothing: concealed within is a generous loft of 552 m², complete with patios, a basement and three independent studios. The whole originated from the transformation of a former industrial building dating from 1939 and combines industrial architecture with contemporary residential comfort. The loft offers expansive living areas and three studios that can function independently, each with its own facilities. This makes the property highly suitable for a family with adult children, a live-work combination or a setting where shared living and independence go hand in hand – apart together. The building forms part of a small owners’ association comprising five apartments: four at the front (together 40%) and this loft (60%). Shared matters are limited to the front section, while insurance and management are properly arranged. Reigerstraat 10 is not a standard residence, but a place for those who consciously choose space, flexibility and character. A home that surprises, protects and at the same time offers a wealth of possibilities. BACKGROUND AND HISTORY The building dates from 1939 and originally served as an industrial premises. Its recent transformation into a residence has been carried out with care and attention to detail. Concrete, brickwork, timber and glass together create a solid foundation that simultaneously provides warmth and residential quality. The result is a loft that is robust and generous in scale, yet also welcoming and practical in everyday use. The property is located in the De Kattekampen district, also referred to as the diamond of Amersfoort because of the shape of its streets. This 1930s neighbourhood, comprising Reigerstraat, Zwaanstraat, Kalkoenstraat, Pauwstraat and adjoining sections of Heiligenbergerweg and Bisschopsweg, has an intimate and lively atmosphere. The small neighbourhood square with its large tree is a place where neighbours meet and children can play freely. De Kattekampen forms part of the Componistenbuurt-Noord area within the Randenbroek district, a green and popular residential environment with wide streets, mature trees and characteristic 1930s architecture. With both Park Randenbroek and the historic city centre of Amersfoort within walking distance, and the Euterpeplein shopping centre just around the corner, urban life and greenery naturally come together here. Amersfoort is known as a city of monuments, with a medieval centre, canals and squares that make its rich history visible. This loft aligns with that tradition of heritage and adaptive reuse, adding a contemporary and robust dimension. THE TOUR Entrance From Reigerstraat, the façade offers only a glimpse of the scale of the building. The deep entrance hall provides space for cars or a camper and forms the transition from street to home. Behind the glass frontage unfolds a multifunctional space of approximately 62 m², with a long internal storage area along the right-hand side. Studios and first patio The building is organised around two patios that bring light and air into the interior while also providing shelter. The first patio, approximately 29 m² in size, forms an intimate outdoor room. Around it are three studios: one generous and two smaller. Each studio has its own living-bedroom, bathroom and direct access to the patio. In addition, each studio has its own central heating installation with underfloor heating. This makes the studios highly suitable as guest accommodation, rental units, studio space or work areas. Intermediate zone and facilities A central corridor connects the multifunctional space with the rear section of the home. Here there is an additional studio and two bedrooms, together with a spacious bathroom featuring double showers, double washbasins and double toilets. This zone forms the transition from the intimate studio area to the open living space beyond. Loft and second patio Beyond the second patio lies the heart of the home: a remarkably spacious loft comprising a dining area, a kitchen with a large island and a generous living room. The second patio of nearly 62 m² functions as a green room that draws daylight deep into the house. Here, the patio determines the rhythm of living: high ceilings capture the light, French doors connect inside and outside, and the atmosphere remains intimate and sheltered. Life unfolds entirely behind the façade – completely anonymous and without overlooking from outside. Master suite At the rear is the master suite: a fully private retreat with a generous bedroom, a spacious walk-in wardrobe and a luxurious bathroom with double washbasins, a separate toilet, double shower and a round bathtub. Basement Beneath the house is an 81 m² basement with a ceiling height of 2.10 metres. Suitable as a studio, fitness room, hobby space or wine cellar. THE PATIOS AS OUTDOOR SPACE The two patios form the beating heart of the house. Together measuring 92 m², they provide sheltered outdoor rooms directly connected to the living spaces. Light penetrates deep into the floor plan and gives each room its own character, while the surrounding walls ensure privacy. The patios can be used throughout the year. Thanks to their sheltered position, there is always a place in the sun and out of the wind – 365 days a year. In summer they extend the living spaces; in winter they bring light and air into the home. ZONING AND POSSIBILITIES The plot is designated Wonen – 1, with the annotation Gemengd. This means that its primary function is residential, while also allowing additional uses such as working from home or mixed use. The existing studios align well with this and can be used as workspaces, guest accommodation or potentially as a Bed & Breakfast or AirBnB. For structural rental or tourist use, it is important to consult the municipality, as additional permits may be required. The zoning plan permits a maximum of two storeys; the current configuration fully complies with this. TARGET GROUPS This property is suitable for various target groups: for a couple seeking generous and comfortable living, for a family looking for flexibility, for a blended household wishing to grant each member their own space, or for multiple generations living together under one roof. Thanks to the independent studios, the property is also attractive for residents wishing to combine living with hospitality: the layout makes guest accommodation or a small-scale Air B&B possible without compromising privacy. CONSTRUCTION AND TECHNICAL CONDITION The building was fully renovated in 2017, including the roof, installations, bathrooms and kitchen. For the sale, an independent structural survey has been carried out. The report provides an honest overview of the construction, finishes and installations and confirms that the property is in good condition. Both the structural report and a NEN2580 measurement report are available. SUSTAINABILITY During the transformation, considerable attention was paid to insulation and energy performance. An up-to-date energy label is being prepared for the sale. SETTING, LOCATION AND ACCESSIBILITY The location is central and strategic.
