Korte Geuzenstraat 981056 KS AmsterdamGeuzenhofbuurt

Unique! Semi-detached living in the municipal monument “Oranjehof” in a wonderfully green, peaceful, and waterside location in Oud-West! We are offering you a special and unique former caretaker’s residence, tucked away on Korte Geuzenstraat between the Kostverlorenvaart canal and the extension of the Geuzenkade. Live in a characterful building in a fantastic neighborhood where tranquility and vibrant Amsterdam come together. This impressive building is situated in a beautiful, quiet location surrounded by greenery, yet with the lively city atmosphere just around the corner. The Building This former caretaker’s residence is part of the municipal monument “Oranjehof,” completed in 1942 and hidden among the trees along the Kostverlorenvaart canal. “Oranjehof” was the first housing project for working single women and holds significant urban planning value due to its striking freestanding location near the Wiegbrug bridge, the gateway to the De Baarsjes district. The design has architectural-historical significance because of its aesthetic qualities, combining the ideals of “Het Nieuwe Bouwen” with the use of a historical residential typology and ornamental detailing. Oranjehof includes two front houses, one of which was intended for the building’s caretaker. The Property Enjoy semi-detached living with no upstairs neighbors. Thanks to the fantastic architecture and positioning, the house offers a wonderful sense of privacy. This semi-detached home features a practical layout with two spacious and bright bedrooms, a cozy living area filled with natural sunlight, and a luxurious kitchen-diner. The peaceful communal garden is located directly beside the property and is beautifully maintained, almost feeling like a private garden. In mid-2021, the property underwent an extensive renovation. The walls were smoothly finished and freshly painted, the kitchen was completely renewed and designed in a U-shaped layout with a stainless steel countertop and built-in appliances, including a dishwasher, oven, Quooker tap, and a spacious wine climate cabinet. The sanitary facilities were also renewed and luxuriously finished with elegant tiling, an accent wall, a vanity unit, and a large rain shower. Sustainability The entire property is fitted with double glazing and currently has an energy label E, but improvements are already planned. A sustainability project will begin at the end of this year. All window frames will be replaced with slim aluminum frames featuring HR++ glass and a layout that closely matches the original design, with the exception of the original wooden frame in the living room. These windows have already been fitted with insulating monument glass. Homeowners’ Association The property is part of an active and well-functioning homeowners’ association (VvE), with annual meetings held regularly. The association is professionally managed and financially healthy, with a long-term maintenance plan and a forward-looking vision. Service charges amount to €188.29 per month (excluding the €356.15 monthly contribution toward the energy-saving loan). To finance the sustainability improvements, the association opted for an attractive energy-saving loan through the National Warmtefonds Foundation, with tax-deductible interest. Surroundings A fantastic neighborhood where peace and conviviality come together. The home (officially an apartment right) is fully surrounded by greenery along the Geuzenkade and almost directly adjacent to the Kostverlorenvaart canal. A true oasis of calm in the vibrant heart of Amsterdam Oud-West. Schools are within walking distance, as are various shops for daily groceries. At the end of the street, you’ll find countless cafés and restaurants. This neighborhood truly offers every convenience. The immediate area also features a wide range of popular dining and drinking spots, including Café Thuys, Bar Hendrix, Kauffmann, Binnenvisser, and Fort Negen. De Foodhallen and the Ten Katemarkt are also within walking distance. Accessibility By bike, you can reach Westerpark, Vondelpark, the Jordaan, the city center, and both Sloterdijk and Amsterdam Central Station within minutes.
