At a very child-friendly location in the “Schilderswijk,” within walking distance of schools and just around the corner from the shopping street “Jan van Goyenstraat,” this semi-detached villa features charming “Amsterdam School” details and an attached wooden outbuilding/storage area with a rear entrance. This is a complete family home in an original, characterful architectural style (built in 1920). With attention to both existing and new details, the interior was remodeled in 2011 to be “practical” while incorporating the necessary luxury. The villa offers a sunny, spacious rear garden with a terrace (approximately 12 x 8.50 meters) facing southwest and a clear, unobstructed view to the back with plenty of privacy. Next to the house is a wooden attached outbuilding/storage area/bike shed on a stone plinth with foundation. The garden also has a rear access.
