Heijestraat, among others, you will find a diverse range of shops, specialty stores, and caterers. In addition, there are several good restaurants and cozy cafes in the neighborhood. The apartment at Kinkerstraat 206 B, which we are selling as an office, is very well laid out and centrally located. At the front of the building, you experience the urban dynamism, while at the rear you can enjoy peace and quiet. Are you interested? Then I would like to invite you to come and take a look. Of course, I will tell you more about the apartment then. Hope to see you soon!

The building at Kinkerstraat 204/206 was constructed in 1904 as a two-unit property. The building block, consisting of two buildings, was constructed in the Neo-Renaissance style, a popular architectural style in Amsterdam at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century. This style was frequently used in urban expansions such as Oud-West, where Kinkerstraat is located.
Characteristics of the Neo-Renaissance style:
– Brick facade with natural stone or white accents – Clearly visible in the horizontal bands, string courses, and the frames around the windows and doors.
– Symmetrical structure – The facade is balanced with vertical and horizontal divisions.
– Rich ornamentation – Arched and rectangular windows with decorative elements above them, such as small pediments and ornaments.
– Cornice and dormer windows – The top of the building features an elegant cornice, and the attic floor has striking dormer windows with a distinctive neo-Renaissance design.
– Vertical facade layout – Pilasters and pilaster strips (slight bulges in the facade) provide a clear rhythmic division of the building.
Various modifications were made to the building later on. For example, the retail spaces were further expanded in 1958, and in 2005 the building was divided into apartment rights. Prior to the division, the foundation was repaired in 2005 and the shell was thoroughly renovated, resulting in well-insulated floors and a positive energy label. In 2007, the building was given a new house numbering system, with each floor being designated by a letter.
The living room, located on the sunny front of the apartment, is the heart of the home. There is enough space for both a sitting and dining area, the ideal place for relaxation and socializing. The large windows on the sunny south side allow plenty of light to enter, further enriching the space. The toilet is located in the entrance hall. The open kitchen has a timeless design in a trendy taupe color and is equipped with a hardstone countertop. The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances, including an oven, dishwasher, 4-burner gas hob, extractor hood, and fridge-freezer. The robust oak floor completes the space and perfectly matches the pleasant atmosphere of the whole.
