Live Where Annie M.G. Schmidt Once Lived – Luxurious 4-Room Apartment with Terrace in Oud Zuid
Experience historic Oud Zuid in this stylishly renovated 4-room apartment, where modern comfort meets authentic charm. Original details such as high ceilings, elegant moldings, and stained-glass windows lend the apartment a timeless appeal, enhanced by a spacious and airy atmosphere.
