In 2019, this property was completely renovated internally, with the owner making tasteful and contemporary choices that have given the home a unique identity. Additionally, a sustainability upgrade was carried out, including the installation of a heat pump.

A variety of shops, specialty shops and caterers can be found on Hoofdweg, Jan van Galenstraat, Mercatorplein and Jan Evertsenstraat, among others. There are also several good restaurants and cozy cafes nearby. The apartment is a very tasteful and well-maintained ground floor apartment of approximately 78 m² located on freehold land.

With a spacious living room adjacent to the garden, beautiful kitchen with cooking island, spacious bedroom with fitted wardrobes, underfloor heating and a lovely garden facing west. All this makes it a refined home where you will immediately feel at home.

Architecture
This contemporary ground floor apartment is part of a building – built in 1932. The houses in the street and immediate surroundings were built in the “Amsterdam school” architectural style. Everything revolves around the external shape, which is sturdy and massive. Characteristic of this architectural style are the red bricks and large bay windows. Architectural firm Gulden & Geldmaker are the designers of the building block at Orteliusstraat 307 – 313, consisting of a larger complex of a total of 30 homes spread over 10 plots. Gulden & Geldmaker’s home designs were sober, almost massive, symmetrical and virtually without decoration. Between 1924 and 1930 they worked extensively with architect J.M. van der Mey. Van der Mey provided the design of the facade, Gulden & Geldmaker drew the floor plans. This resulted in less sober facades with slightly more detail. Internally, the house was extensively renovated in 2019, this renovation was carried out with great care and taste. This is reflected in, among other things, the choice of materials, the finish of the extension and the beautifully landscaped garden. The light has also been carefully examined and optimized by the skylight in the extension. The house has been made completely sustainable, a heat pump with boiler has been installed, most of the floor has been replaced, a stylish extension has been built, pipework and electricity have been renewed and of course a new kitchen and bathroom have been installed.
Living and cooking
The spacious hall can be reached through the private front door from the street via the tour portal. This provides access to all the rooms. The open kitchen with cooking island is centrally located in the house. The kitchen is made of light oak and is a real eye-catcher of the house, partly due to the high-quality natural stone top. All desirable luxury built-in appliances are available, such as a Quooker, Bora hob, oven/microwave, oven/steam oven, dishwasher and fridge/freezer combination. Like the kitchen, the study is made of light oak panels. The large built-in cabinets provide sufficient storage space and the deep desktop provides a pleasant workplace. The living room, together with the dining table, borders the garden. An ultimate indoor/outdoor experience is created by the large sliding doors that connect the living room with the garden.
Sleeping and bathing
The spacious bedroom is situated on the quiet street side. The bedroom features a large built-in wardrobe. This, combined with the wall lamps, beautiful wooden floor, and en-suite bathroom, creates a warm atmosphere. The bathroom can be accessed from both the living room and the bedroom. It is finished with striking terrazzo tiles, giving it a contemporary feel. The bathroom includes a comfortable walk-in shower, a wide washbasin unit, and a floating toilet. The space where the dining table is located can be partially closed off, making it easy to create a second bedroom. The entire house is already prepared for this. Light points, switches, and the desk can be easily removed without needing to adjust the closet.
The garden
The carefully landscaped garden of approximately 33 m² is located on the west. An oasis of peace that makes you forget the city dynamics for a moment. A nice detail is the use of materials in the finishing of the rear facade and the bench with a beautiful terrazzo tile in combination with stucco. The color palette in the plants and trees provide a beautiful view of a living painting and privacy.

What the owners will miss
The ‘velvet end’ is the greenest and most beautiful part of Orteliusstraat. We have lived here with great pleasure for over five years, with pleasant and friendly neighbors and a pleasant group of residents in the VvE. With the Erasmus Park and Rembrandt Park around the corner, you have two parks within walking distance where you can exercise, drink coffee, swim and have a barbecue. And if you have to leave the city by car, you are directly on the ring road. In the morning you can sit in the sun on the bench at the front of the house with a cup of coffee, and in the afternoon you can read a book or have a drink in the garden. The garden gives a very private feeling thanks to the trees and greenery. The house has a very nice open and light layout, with the cooking island as the attractive center of the house. People have eaten at this island more often than at the dining table, where you can sit comfortably while cooking. We ultimately never added the second bedroom, which means there is a lot of space and light in the house. But if it is time for that extra bedroom, all preparations have already been made to add it without demolition work or major renovation.
