‘T Baarsje
We as an agency oversee the sale of a diverse range of properties. Personally, I particularly enjoy assisting with well-designed ground-floor apartments in vibrant neighborhoods. You’ll often find me in the West-Indische buurt, where there’s always plenty going on. Due to its favorable location, various parts of the city are easily accessible. This apartment on Hoofdweg with three bedrooms is an excellent example of a well-designed ground-floor property. The presence of a city garden adds a tranquil element to urban living, while the front garden offers a sunny spot to relax. If you have further interest, I’d be happy to invite you to come by. Of course, I can provide more details about the apartment when you visit. Hopefully see you soon.

Design vision
When the Hoofdweg was constructed around 1920, these two blocks were among the first buildings erected. The properties are part of a neighborhood constructed in the architectural style of the Amsterdam School, originally designed by the construction firm Duin and van ‘t Eind in Amsterdam. Many of the architectural details are so subtle that they are barely noticeable on the scale of the building block. The facades are constructed of brickwork laid in a cross bond pattern, with a base of vertically standing stones. During the renovation, the gutter with its corbels was removed and restored to its original style. The originally wooden sliding sash windows were replaced with plastic frames in the 1980s. As part of the renovation, the wooden frames have been reintroduced with their original appearance, including a robust transom, a deep-set tilt-and-turn window at the bottom, and fixed glass at the top, complete with muntins.
Living and cooking
The living room at the front boasts a pleasant ceiling height and provides ample space for a spacious seating area, making it the ideal spot to unwind. The adjoining kitchen is equipped with built-in appliances and has room for a dining table. The kitchen feels like an extension of the living room, providing a perfect space for cooking and entertaining. Due to its corner position, it’s a pleasant, bright space.
Sleeping and bathing
The bedrooms are cleverly positioned within the house for optimal comfort. Both the first and second bedrooms are spacious, offering ample room for wardrobes and a double bed. The first and third bedrooms are situated at the rear and provide access to the city garden. The second bedroom at the front can function as either a bedroom or a workspace. At the end of the hallway is the bathroom, equipped with a walk-in shower and a washbasin vanity unit. There is a separate toilet at the beginning of the hallway.
The city garden en front garden
The outdoor spaces include a city garden at the rear facing east and a front garden facing west. The city garden is ideal for a relaxed morning routine, while the front garden is perfect for enjoying the evening sun with space for a lounge set.

What residents will miss
When we first walked in, we immediately felt, “this is our home.” The neighborhood feels like a village, yet it’s filled with many cafes, restaurants, and coffee shops just around the corner. Moreover, you’re quickly in the heart of Amsterdam, and the hotspots in Oud-West are also very close by. When we bought the house, we made some renovations first: we opened up part of the hallway to extend into the living room. This has created a spacious feel, yet it remains cozy thanks to the beautiful wooden floor we had installed. Every season has its favorite spot for us; in spring, during the first rays of sunshine, you can truly enjoy a morning coffee in the backyard. It’s sheltered from the wind here, so it quickly warms up enough to sit outside in the morning. In summer, we spend a lot of time with friends, sitting in the front garden, enjoying drinks and chatting with neighbors passing by. In fall and winter, we mainly cozy up indoors, on the couch with candles reading a book or playing games in the kitchen with friends! However, throughout the year, we have one favorite: walking to Rembrandtpark with our dog and ending the walk with a coffee at Coffee & Juices. We will surely miss these places!
