Judith de Jong | Real estate agent Broersma Wonen
At the beginning of the20th century, Amsterdam architect F.A. Warners (1888-1952) introduced the concept of the multi-story apartment building, inspired by the large apartment buildings in London, Paris, and Berlin. On each floor, he placed several apartments the size of a house and with a lot of allure. A total of nine such buildings were constructed in and around De Lairessestraat, one of which is the Steenhoek. Warners himself moved into the ground floor apartment here. Warners' architecture is considered to be part of the Amsterdam School style, but it also has very recognizable characteristics of the metropolitan style he had become familiar with in other European capitals. Warners is known for using solid materials, which he explained by the fact that a building is only new for a short time and old for much longer. Although the building is not listed as a monument, its characteristic architecture and location contribute to the historical and aesthetic value of the area.
Unique to this apartment is the living room measuring over 60m2 with windows on three sides, providing wonderful light during the day. The living room is open to the library, creating a beautiful width of over 16 meters. The living room is light due to its south-facing position. The library has custom-made bookcases, a partner desk, and a lovely fireplace. On the other side of the central hall is the dining room, which adjoins the large kitchen. Larger groups can dine in the dining room, while the kitchen has a cozy dining table where the current residents also like to read the newspaper. The kitchen has a light color scheme with a natural stone worktop and is equipped with various built-in appliances such as a double oven, 5-burner gas stove, dishwasher, and fridge/freezer.
All bedrooms are located on the quiet inner gardens. The spacious master bedroom has an adjoining dressing room with custom-made wardrobes. This dressing room is accessible from both the bedroom and the bathroom, which is very convenient in the early morning when you don't want to wake up the whole house. The luxurious bathroom is decorated in a calm color scheme and has a bathtub, shower, and double sink. The second bedroom is near the entrance of the apartment and has a built-in closet with a guest bed. There is a second bathroom, again in a calm color scheme, with a shower and sink. There is also an option to create a third or fourth bedroom; see the alternative floor plans for this.
The west-facing balcony with studio/loggia is a wonderful extension of the living space. With a sliding glass wall that can be opened completely, the loggia offers a sheltered place to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun. The kitchen facilities ('cuisine d'été') make this space ideal for summer dinners. In summer, the spacious balcony and adjoining loggia, which are sunny for most of the day, are the perfect place to relax. From here, you can look out over the well-tended garden of the Dufayhuis, a green oasis that offers plenty of privacy.
