Description
Living on the third floor with a separate workspace on the fourth — a smart and distinctive combination that immediately sets this property apart from other homes on Hoofdweg.
This fully renovated apartment of over 55 m² offers a rare addition: a private workspace (officially registered as storage) of approximately 6 m² on the top floor, accessible via the communal staircase. The physical separation between living and working areas creates a clear and healthy balance. No desk in the living room or bedroom, but a quiet workspace just outside your apartment — while still being at home. Ideal for hybrid working, studying, or creating a dedicated hobby room.
The apartment itself was completely renovated in 2020 and is move-in ready. The bright living room, with large windows, feels spacious and open, offering ample room for a generous seating area and dining space. The modern kitchen (2020) features sleek cabinetry, built-in appliances, and plenty of workspace. The bathroom (also 2020) is luxuriously finished and equipped with a walk-in shower and contemporary sanitary fittings. The overall condition is fresh, well-maintained, and ready for immediate occupancy.
Located in a characteristic building dating from 1927, this home combines period charm with modern comfort. With energy label C, it offers comfortable and energy-efficient living. At the quiet rear side, you will find the balcony of approximately 7 m² — a sheltered outdoor space to relax.
STREET & HISTORY
Hoofdweg is one of the main avenues of Amsterdam West and forms part of the early 20th-century urban expansion plan. The 1927 architecture is characteristic of the Amsterdam School style, known for its expressive brickwork and artisanal detailing. The building has been designated as a municipal monument and is situated within a protected cityscape, ensuring the preservation of its architectural character and street appeal. Hoofdweg connects Bos en Lommer with De Baarsjes and is located near the beloved Erasmuspark.
LOCATION
Living on Hoofdweg means living in vibrant and highly sought-after Amsterdam West. Within walking distance you will find Mercatorplein and Jan Evertsenstraat, offering a wide selection of restaurants, coffee bars, and specialty shops. Several supermarkets are available nearby for daily groceries.
Accessibility is excellent: multiple tram and bus connections provide quick access to the city center and Sloterdijk Station. By car, the A10 ring road can be reached within minutes.
In addition, you are close to Erasmuspark, Rembrandtpark, and Westerpark — perfect for sports, relaxation, and recreation.
LAY-OUT
Via the communal staircase, you reach the apartment on the third floor.
The hallway provides access to all rooms. The living room at the front is bright and spacious due to the large windows, with ample space for both a comfortable seating area and a dining table. At the rear, the modern kitchen (2020) is equipped with built-in appliances and practical storage.
The bedroom is well-proportioned and accommodates a double bed and wardrobe space. Both the kitchen and bedroom provide access to the balcony of approximately 6.7 m². The bathroom (2020) is luxuriously finished and features a walk-in shower, toilet, and modern washbasin unit.
Via the communal staircase, you reach the separate workspace of approximately 6.1 m² on the fourth floor.
The physical separation between living and working areas ensures a pleasant balance: living below, working above. Because the workspace is just one floor higher, it functions as a natural extension of the home — practical, comfortable, and unique.
