Montferland no. 2 H
We, as a real estate office, oversee the sale of a diverse range of properties. As a real estate agent, this variety is highly challenging and contributes to forming a comprehensive picture of the entire housing market in Amsterdam. In addition to assisting private clients, we also guide professional entities in the sale of real estate. In this specific case, we have the privilege of assisting Amstelhof Properties B.V. in the divestment of their apartments on Montferlandstraat.
The Veluwebuurt may be unfamiliar territory for a portion of the target audience. Nevertheless, the neighborhood’s dynamics are pleasant, and the amenities are excellent. On Scheldestraat and Maasstraat, among other places, a variety of shops, specialty stores, and delicatessens can be found. Additionally, there are several good restaurants and cozy cafes in the vicinity.
The apartment at Montferlandstraat 2 H, which our office is privileged to sell, is very thoughtfully laid out and features 3 bedrooms. The green surroundings and the spacious communal courtyard provide an oasis of tranquility, all while being close to the urban dynamism near highways and public transportation.
If you have further interest, I invite you to come by. Of course, I will then provide you with more details about the apartment. Perhaps see you soon.

Architecture
The Amstelhof complex is an ensemble designed by architect J.F. Berghoef in 1951/1952 and constructed by the Dutch Society for Public Housing (Nemavo). In the post-World War II reconstruction period, due to a scarcity of material and financial resources, experimentation with new industrial construction methods took place, marking the era of reconstruction architecture. In addition to various newly developed Dutch prefab construction systems like the Welschen system, there was the well-established English Airey system.
To adapt and implement the Airey system in the Netherlands, the Dutch Society for Public Housing (Nemavo) was established in 1947. The approach involved working with standard measurements, floor plans, and concrete prefab building components. The residential blocks are constructed with reinforced concrete floors and walls, and the facades are clad with concrete panels. The lower floors (plinth) of the blocks, housing entrances with large canopies, garage boxes, and cellar boxes, are executed in red brick. The windows and roof trusses of the Airey homes are made of steel, and the roof is clad with wood and has a bituminous covering.
An interesting detail is that nearly ten thousand Airey homes were built in the Netherlands between 1949 and 1965, with over half of them located in Amsterdam.
Living and cooking
The through-living room is located on the corner of the building, allowing the living room to have side windows. The placement of windows on three sides enables natural daylight to enter, giving the living room a very bright and pleasant character. There is ample space for both a sitting and dining area. The unique feature of this type of apartment is the through living room, contributing to the overall brightness of the living space. Throughout the entire apartment, there is a laminate floor.
The open kitchen is situated at the rear, where you can also find the washing machine connection in a separate cabinet. The kitchen is equipped with built-in appliances such as a 4-burner gas hob and extractor hood.
In the basement, you’ll find a separate storage room of approximately 7 m².
Sleeping and bathing
In total, the apartment comprises 3 bedrooms. The master bedroom is situated at the quiet front side with an adjoining balcony. This room is perfectly sized for a double bed and wardrobe. The other two bedrooms are located at the rear and offer views of the spacious communal courtyard. The smaller room also provides access to the second balcony. The large windows ensure a beautiful natural influx of daylight, creating a pleasant space to spend time in. The bathroom is accessible from the hallway and features a shower and a washbasin.
Balconies
Enjoying the outdoors in the sun is perfect here, whether in the spacious communal courtyard or on one of the two balconies. The front balcony, adjacent to the master bedroom, faces east, providing an ideal spot to enjoy the morning sun with a cup of coffee. The second balcony overlooks the communal courtyard and is situated to the west. However, the large communal courtyard with well-defined garden etiquette remains a delightful place to appreciate tranquility and momentarily forget the dynamics of the city.
