Het Groene Huis
The name of the residence reflects the previous owners’ dedication to flora and fauna. It is gratifying to see that new owners have been found who will benefit from the sale of this unique family home, which remains largely in its original condition and retains many details from its construction period.
This traditional family home, which has been in the same family for a long time, serves as an excellent example of a classic family house. It has always functioned as a reliable family residence. As the sale takes place, a new resident will renovate the house, ensuring it will continue to serve as a family home for the coming decades.
The location is ideally suited for families. The houses in the same block are also largely occupied by families, making the neighborhood child-friendly.

Architecture
Gerrit van der Veenstraat 30, located in Amsterdam-Zuid, is a municipal monument with significant architectural and historical value. Originally known as Euterpestraat, this part of the street was developed in the 1920s and falls under the Amsterdam School architectural style, renowned for its expressive and decorative architecture.
The building at number 30-34 was designed by the architect Gerrit Jan Rutgers in 1930. Rutgers was a prominent figure within the Amsterdam School, an architectural style characterized by brick constructions, decorative elements, and expressive forms. This block of houses exhibits typical features of this style, such as the detailed facade stones and the use of brick.
In addition to its architectural value, the street has a rich history, particularly from World War II. After the war, the street was renamed Gerrit van der Veen in honor of his bravery and contribution to the resistance.
Wonen en koken
De voortuin van Gerrit van der Veenstraat 30 vormt een stijlvol visitekaartje met zijn stenen muurtje en diverse beplanting, die een ideale scheiding vormt tussen de openbare ruimte en het huis. De tuin eindigt bij een gevel die opvalt door zijn elegante accenten, zoals een getoogde deur, een erker en een voorbalkon, wat de woning een chique uitstraling verleent.
Bij binnenkomst wordt de aandacht getrokken door de elegante vestibule, afgewerkt met wit marmer en zwarte lijsten op zowel de lambrisering als de vloer. Een bijzonder gave houten deur met glas-in-lood-segmenten scheidt deze ruimte van de gang en het trappenhuis, wat de charme van vervlogen tijden benadrukt.
De woonkamer bestaat uit twee en-suite kamers met originele schouwen van rood gesteente. De voorkamer heeft een charmante erker, terwijl de achterkamer openslaande deuren naar de tuin heeft. De ruimtes worden gescheiden door houten en-suite kasten met schuifdeuren voorzien van glas-in-lood, waardoor het licht en ruimtelijk gevoel van het geheel wordt versterkt. Met een plafondhoogte van meer dan 3 meter voelt de ruimte bijzonder licht en open aan.
De keuken weerspiegelt de tijdsgeest met mozaïektegels op de vloer, typerend voor de bouwperiode, en een klassieke Bruynzeel-keuken met bovenkasten. Aan de voorzijde van het pand bevindt zich een ruime voorraadkelder, verdeeld in twee compartimenten, die zorgt voor voldoende opslagruimte.
