Unique Loft Residence with Studios and Patios in Amersfoort

Reigerstraat 10 in Amersfoort presents a property that conceals its true scale behind an unassuming exterior. Behind the facade lies a spacious loft of 552 square meters, complete with patios, a cellar, and three independent studios. The building originated from the transformation of a commercial property dating back to 1939 and combines industrial architecture with contemporary residential comfort. The spaces can also be readily divided if desired.

The loft residence offers generous living areas and three studios that can be used separately, each with its own facilities. This makes the property highly suitable for a family with adult children, a combination of living and working, or as a place where communal living and independence go hand in hand. The building forms part of a small homeowners association consisting of five apartments: four at the front (collectively 40%) and this loft (60%). Joint matters are limited to the front side, while insurance and management are properly arranged.

The property dates from 1939 and originally served as an industrial building. The recent transformation into a residence was carried out with care and attention to detail. Concrete, masonry, wood, and glass together form a solid foundation that simultaneously offers warmth and residential quality. The result is a loft that is robust and grand, yet also inviting and practical in use.

The residence is located in the De Kattekampen district, also known as the diamond of Amersfoort due to the shape of the streets. This 1930s neighborhood, consisting of Reigerstraat, Zwaanstraat, Kalkoenstraat, Pauwstraat, and adjacent parts of Heiligenbergerweg and Bisschopsweg, has an intimate and lively atmosphere. The neighborhood square with the large tree is a place where neighbors meet and children can play carefree.

De Kattekampen is part of the Componistenbuurt-Noord in the Randenbroek district, a green and popular residential area with wide streets, mature trees, and characteristic 1930s architecture. With both Park Randenbroek and the historic center of Amersfoort within walking distance and the Euterpeplein shopping center around the corner, urbanity and nature come together here in a natural way.

At Reigerstraat, the facade only reveals a glimpse of the scale of the property. The deep entrance hall provides space for cars or a camper and forms the transition from street to home. Behind the glass facade unfolds a multifunctional space of approximately 62 square meters, with a long built-in storage room along the right side.

The building is organized around two patios that bring light and air inside while providing shelter. The first patio, approximately 29 square meters in size, forms an intimate outdoor room. Around this patio are three studios: one spacious and two smaller ones. Each studio has its own living-sleeping room, bathroom, and direct access to the patio. In addition, each studio has its own central heating system with underfloor heating. The studios are therefore excellent as guest accommodation, rental space, studio, or workspace.

A central corridor connects the multifunctional space with the rear part of the residence. Here lie another studio and two bedrooms, together with a spacious bathroom equipped with double showers, double sinks, and double toilets. This zone forms the transition from the intimate studios to the open living world further on.

Behind the second patio opens the heart of the residence: a surprisingly spacious loft with a dining area, kitchen with a large cooking island, and a generous living room. The second patio of almost 62 square meters functions as a green room that draws daylight deep into the house. The patio determines the rhythm of living here: high ceilings catch the light, French doors connect inside and outside, and the atmosphere remains intimate and sheltered. Life takes place entirely behind the facade, completely anonymous and without view from outside.

At the rear lies the master suite: a complete private retreat with a spacious bedroom, a large walk-in closet, and a luxurious bathroom with double sinks, separate toilet area, double shower, and a round bathtub.

Under the residence is a cellar of 81 square meters with a ceiling height of 2.10 meters. Suitable as a studio, fitness room, hobby room, or wine cellar.

The two patios form the beating heart of the house. Together 92 square meters in size, they offer sheltered outdoor rooms that connect directly to the living spaces. The light falls deep into the floor plan and gives each room its own atmosphere, while the surrounding walls provide shelter and privacy. The patios are usable in every season. Thanks to the sheltered location, there is always a spot in the sun and out of the wind, 365 days a year. In summer they extend the living spaces, in winter they bring light and air into the residence.

The plot has the designation Living 1, with the indication Mixed. This means that it is primarily intended for residential use, but there is also room for additional functions, such as working from home or mixed use. The existing studios fit well with this and can be used as workspace, guest accommodation, or possibly for use as a Bed and Breakfast or Airbnb. For structural rental or tourist use, it is important to coordinate this with the municipality, as additional permits may be required for this.

This property is suitable for various target groups. For a couple who wants to live grandly and comfortably, for a family seeking flexibility, for a composite household that wants to give each person their own place, or for multiple generations who want to live together under one roof. Thanks to the independent studios, the property is also attractive for residents who want to combine living with hospitality.

The property was fully renovated in 2017, with roof, installations, bathrooms, and kitchen being renewed. For the sale, an independent structural inspection was carried out. The report provides an honest picture of the structure, finishing, and installations and shows that the property is in good condition. Both the structural report and a NEN2580 measurement report are available.

During the transformation, much attention was paid to insulation and energy management. The property features roof insulation, triple glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. Heating is provided by a Nefit gas-fired combination boiler from 2016, with partial underfloor heating. The energy label is C. Other facilities include fiberglass, mechanical ventilation, sliding doors, and solar panels.

The location is central and strategic. The historic center of Amersfoort is a few minutes by bike, as is Park Randenbroek. Amersfoort Central Station offers fast connections to Utrecht, Amsterdam, Deventer, and Apeldoorn. The A1 and A28 are reachable within minutes. Schools, shops, and sports facilities are in the immediate vicinity.

The property has an indoor garage with space for one car, equipped with an electric door and electricity. Parking is available on the property. The total plot size is 720 square meters, and the building has a flat roof with bituminous roofing. The property is accessible for people with disabilities and for the elderly.
