The apartment is located on the second floor, where the front door provides Immediately to the apartment. The spacious entrance hall connects all Rooms this floor. The living room is at the front and the open-plan kitchen is at the rear: a bright, rectangular space with large windows facing east and west. The morning sun shines generously into this room, while the oak floor and soft tones create a sense of calm and clarity.
At the rear are the kitchen and the first bedroom, both Immediately to the balcony. The double French doors not only bring light into the room, but also fresh air and a view of the greenery of the inner gardens. The bathroom on this floor is compact and brightly finished with light tiles, a walk-in shower, washbasin, and toilet.
We reach the third floor via the communal staircase (no internal staircase). Part of this floor forms part of the whole, with a second bedroom that provides Immediately to the spacious Roof terrace. The room is simple in design, but the French doors give it a special atmosphere.
The second bathroom is located at the front of this floor. With a skylight above the sink, a separate shower, toilet, and space for the washing machine, this is a functional and pleasantly furnished room. Its location under the sloping roof creates a sheltered and peaceful atmosphere.
And then there is the terrace: an open, wooden deck facing southwest, with sun all day long. Here you can look out over the green inner gardens and the rooftops of Oud-Zuid. The construction was carried out with great care, with the permission of the homeowners' association and the required permit.
The interplay of living levels, the well-thought-out layout, and the quality of light and outdoor space make this home a truly special place.
What residents will miss
"In the morning, I like to sit in the living room, by the large window. The sunlight streams in beautifully and the sliding window is open—a peaceful and warm start to the day. In the afternoon, I enjoy reading a book on the balcony or Roof terrace, overlooking the courtyard garden. Those moments of peace and light are truly priceless."

The Sunshine in Zuid
At Broersma, we assist with the sale of a wide range of residences, each with its own story. Personally, I have a strong affinity with Oud-Zuid, a neighborhood where urban elegance and everyday livability come together. The wide streets, abundance of greenery, and small-scale amenities give the neighborhood a relaxed character. At the same time, you are surrounded by everything that makes Amsterdam special: from the Museumplein to the Zuidas, from specialty shops to city parks.
The apartment at Hectorstraat 10-2 is a good example of this. A spacious outdoor area in the shelter of the city. The sun on the terrace, the tranquility at the rear, the light coming through the Rooms. It is a home that is easy to live in, but always surprises with the quality of its layout.
If you are curious, I warmly invite you to come and experience the home for yourself. Of course, I would be happy to tell you more about the possibilities. Perhaps we will see you soon.

The façade gives no hint of the spaciousness that unfolds behind the classic brick architecture. But once inside, light floods in through large windows, flanked by original stained-glass doors. These characterful elements form the quiet backdrop for an interior that feels both fresh and warm.
The house combines clean lines and soft colors with charming details from the Year of construction. The wooden front door, the brickwork, the vertical articulation—every detail contributes to the feeling of craftsmanship and rhythm. Inside, this is enriched with modern simplicity: white walls, oak floors, and carefully chosen sightlines create tranquility and balance.
Because the living areas are separate and each is accessible via the communal staircase, each floor has its own identity. Downstairs is for living, upstairs is for tranquility. This layout enhances the feeling of air and light, culminating in the large Roof terrace the top room. Here, outside and inside become one experience.
The living area exudes tranquility. With a spacious seating area at the front, three large windows, and an abundance of natural light, it is a place that invites you to relax and enjoy each other's company. The room is spacious but well-organized, with soft materials, subtle colors, and pleasant acoustics.
In the center of the home, double stained-glass doors form the transition to the dining area. They filter the light and give rhythm to the space. Behind these doors, an elegant kitchen unfolds, arranged in a straight line along the wall. The design is minimalist: matte white fronts, an understated countertop, stainless steel accents. Everything fits together perfectly, without being overly prominent.
The dining area is light and lively, with French doors opening onto the balcony. This creates a subtle connection with the outside, ideal on warm days. The space lends itself to long evenings at the table, with a view of the greenery of the inner gardens and the soft evening light from the southwest.
The L-shaped living room offers the possibility of using the corner as a workspace or to create an extra bedroom. Each zone (sitting, cooking, eating) has its own atmosphere and function, but remains connected to the whole. The routing is logical, the rhythm relaxed. This is a living floor where you can move effortlessly from moment to moment.
The two sleeping floors can be accessed separately via the communal staircase. It is precisely this physical separation that creates a surprising sense of freedom and autonomy within the home. Each floor has its own atmosphere and function.
On the second floor, there is a comfortable bedroom at the rear, with French doors opening onto the south-west facing balcony. The space is modest and bright, with floor-to-ceiling windows that allow daylight to gently flood in. The direct connection to the outside makes this a place of tranquility, sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the city. Next to the bedroom is a compact bathroom, decorated in warm, neutral tones. A glass shower wall, built-in rain shower, and sleek washbasin cabinet provide a neat and contemporary finish.
One floor higher, on the third floor, a second bedroom offers a view of the Roof terrace. Its location at the quiet rear and direct access to the outside make the room feel like a serene base. The bathroom on this floor is functional, equipped with a shower, toilet, sink, and space for a washing machine and dryer. The sloping roof with skylight gives the space character without compromising on light or comfort.
The clear separation between the two floors creates a flexible layout: suitable for guests, working from home, or creating a separate floor for each family member.
The apartment has two high-quality outdoor areas, each with its own character and purpose. The balcony on the second floor is an extension of both the kitchen and the bedroom and offers a view of the green courtyard garden. Thanks to its south-west facing position, this is a place where the afternoon sun shines generously, inviting you to enjoy a coffee in the sun, sheltered from the hustle and bustle of the city.
One floor higher is the spacious Roof terrace, built with the permission of the owners' association and equipped with the required permit. Here, an open living space unfolds under the sky: wooden decking, air and light on all sides, a feeling of freedom in the middle of the city. The double French doors from the bedroom enhance the indoor-outdoor experience, while the view over the rooftops provides an unexpected feeling of space and privacy.
This layering of outdoor spaces makes for dynamic use. Summer evenings upstairs, spring days downstairs. Always with the sun as your companion.
For shopping, there is Stadionweg or Beethovenstraat with a wide range of specialty shops and various supermarkets. Olympiaplein, with Marqt, Le Fournil, and L'Amuse, among others, is also within walking distance. Stadionplein is also perfect for shopping with an underground parking garage, a large Albert Heijn supermarket, the Vlaams broodhuys bakery, Bloem! flower shop, and more.

This house has something special—it immediately feels like coming home. The large windows provide plenty of light and a spacious feel. What makes it truly unique is the combination of character and comfort: authentic details such as stained glass and wooden floors go hand in hand with a modern finish. And then there is the large Roof terrace one of the gems of the house. A wonderful place to relax, have a drink, or simply enjoy the sun and the view.
In the morning, I like to sit in the living room, by the large window. The sunlight streams in beautifully and the sliding window is open — a peaceful and warm start to the day. In the afternoon, I enjoy reading a book on the balcony or Roof terrace, overlooking the courtyard garden. Those moments of peace and light are truly priceless.
The neighborhood feels like a small village in the middle of the city. Everything is within walking distance: shops, parks, restaurants, bars — it's a fantastic place. Very lively and green, but at the same time quiet, without the hustle and bustle of the city center. At the end of the street is the Zuider Amstelkanaal, where local residents moor their boats. It gives a relaxed, almost holiday-like feeling.
On Fridays, the organic market on Minervaplein is a favorite for fair, fresh products. Stadionplein is bustling with cozy bistros, while Marathonweg invites you in with nice cafes and an ice cream parlor — ideal for summer days. You'll always discover something new in the neighborhood: local specialty shops, fine wine stores, and hidden culinary gems. What will I miss the most?
The vibrancy of the neighborhood — it really is the best place in Amsterdam. The liveliness, the atmosphere, the people... everything is just right here. And of course the Roof terrace: the best place for cozy Friday afternoon drinks with friends. I'm going to miss that feeling of freedom, light, and connectedness enormously.
