Description

In the well-known Expo district, full of eye candy for architecture fans. Shops, approach roads, parks, public transport ... Quiet living, yet close to everything.

Well-preserved modernist homes, such as this magnificent 'Burgerhuis Diercxsens' by arch. Kaplansky from 1936, you don't find on the market every day.

Through the original steel door you enter the imposing entrance hall with cloakroom, guest toilet and handsome ceramic (the original!) tiles. Plenty of light, space, style ... The hall immediately sets the tone for the rest of the house.

The office space (or extra living/play area) at the back runs the full width of the house. From here you can climb the service stairs, to the utility room, or to the large garden, where you can enjoy both morning and afternoon sun. Also on the ground floor is the garage and storage room. An impressively wide staircase leads you up from the hall.

At the back on the 1st floor is the sun-drenched, L-shaped living space. Plenty of space for fancy dinners, a cosy brunch or evening by the fireplace. Clever detail: the rear terraces are supported by one, continuous column. At the front you will find the original kitchen with pantry, followed by a separate and spacious dining room.

On the 2nd floor 3 bedrooms with built-in wardrobes and linen room, as well as 1 office or guest room.

The spacious rooms are on both floors on the street and garden side. In between, in the hub of the house, the practicalities: staircase, boiler, bathroom, storerooms and toilets. Original joinery in metal and wood was preserved almost everywhere. An architectural masterpiece.
Lover of modernism? Then you should definitely not miss this particularly well-preserved, authentic master home by Kaplansky.
