SURROUNDINGS:
Living on Geulstraat means living in the Rivierenbuurt: a quiet, spacious and child-friendly residential area in Amsterdam-Zuid, designed as part of architect H.P. Berlage’s famous Plan Zuid and known for its beautiful Amsterdam School architecture, wide streets and green character.
For daily shopping and local amenities, Maasstraat and Scheldestraat are just around the corner, offering a wide range of shops, specialist stores, supermarkets, coffee bars, cafés and restaurants. The lively squares at either end of the street – Scheldeplein and Maasplein – further enhance the vibrant neighbourhood atmosphere.
The location is also ideal for families. Various primary schools and childcare facilities can be found in the immediate vicinity, and Hervormd Lyceum Zuid is literally located on Geulstraat.

Accessibility is excellent. Tram line 4 takes you directly through the Rivierenbuurt to the city centre and Station RAI, while the North/South metro line (metro 52) via Station RAI and nearby Europaplein provides a very fast connection to Amsterdam-Noord, the Zuidas and Amsterdam Central Station, among other destinations.

At the front of the property is a spacious work/study room; this flexible space can easily be used as a fourth bedroom. This floor also features a neat bathroom with walk-in shower and bathtub, a separate toilet and various fitted cupboards for additional storage space.
