We are pleased to offer this exceptional and unique former caretaker’s residence, tucked away on Korte Geuzenstraat between the Kostverlorenvaart canal and the extension of Geuzenkade. Live in a characterful historic building in a fantastic neighborhood where tranquility and vibrant Amsterdam city life come together. This impressive building is situated in a beautiful, quiet setting surrounded by greenery, while the lively city atmosphere is just around the corner. The Building This former caretaker’s residence forms part of the municipal monument “Oranjehof”, completed in 1942 and hidden among the trees along the Kostverlorenvaart canal. Oranjehof was the first housing project designed specifically for working single women. It holds significant urban planning value due to its prominent freestanding position near the Wiegbrug bridge, the gateway to the De Baarsjes district. The building also has architectural and historical significance due to its aesthetic qualities, combining the ideals of the Dutch Nieuwe Bouwen movement with a historic residential typology and ornamental detailing. Oranjehof includes two front houses, one of which was originally designated as the caretaker’s residence. The Property Enjoy semi-detached living with no direct neighbors above or beside you, right in the heart of the city. Thanks to its exceptional architecture and positioning, the house offers a remarkable sense of privacy. This semi-detached home features a practical layout with two spacious and bright bedrooms, a cozy living room filled with natural sunlight, and a luxurious kitchen-diner. The peaceful communal garden is located directly next to the property and is beautifully maintained, giving it the feel of a private garden. In mid-2021, the property underwent a comprehensive renovation. The walls were finished to a high standard and freshly painted, the kitchen was completely renewed and fitted in a U-shaped layout with a stainless-steel countertop and built-in appliances, including a dishwasher, oven, Quooker boiling-water tap, and a spacious wine climate cabinet. The bathroom was also fully renovated and luxuriously finished with elegant tiling, an accent wall, vanity unit, and large walk-in shower. In addition, all plumbing, electrical wiring, and the central heating system were replaced. Sustainability The property is fully fitted with double glazing and currently holds an Energy Label E. A major sustainability upgrade project is scheduled to commence at the end of 2026, which will significantly improve the building’s energy performance. As part of this project, all window frames will be replaced with slim-profile aluminum frames fitted with HR++ insulating glass. A unique aspect of this project is the careful restoration of the monument’s original architectural character. The new frames will replicate the original 1942 design, enhancing both living comfort and energy efficiency while strengthening the building’s distinctive appearance. The monumental wooden window frame in the living room has already been fully restored and fitted with high-quality insulating heritage glass.

The association has approved a major sustainability project from which all apartments will benefit, including the installation of new aluminum window frames with HR++ glazing.
