Neighborhood Guide
At the end of the 19th century, as Amsterdam's city center became increasingly crowded, the need for a green neighborhood close to the center grew. In 1881, architect Zocher designed the Willemspark, a different park from the later Vondelpark. A few decades later, the first villas emerged around the ponds, with stately buildings in classic architectural styles welcoming families to this quieter and greener part of the city. The grandeur of that era remains intact today. Both the residents and the quality offerings from bakery Simon Meijssen, chocolatier Artichoc, greengrocer Wessels, bistro Jules, bar Carter, and the French seafood restaurant VISQUE give the residential neighborhood its contemporary allure. An ideal spot in Amsterdam to live, where relaxation and inspiration are always nearby.

Architecture
The building at Koninginneweg 53 was constructed as part of a symmetrical block, together with numbers 55 and 57, by an unknown architect around 1897. The architectural style can be classified as eclecticism. Eclecticism, somewhat irreverently, can be described as “a bit of this and a bit of that.” The architect borrows elements from various architectural styles. However, in a well-thought-out eclectic design, a cohesive new design emerges by using the best features of different old styles. This style was popular in the second half of the 19th century, especially in the expansion districts. Due to the large-scale construction during that time, many ornaments could be mass-produced. Architects, or contractors acting as architects, would order the desired ornaments from a catalog. Ornaments in classicist style or the 18th-century Louis styles were particularly popular: pediments, festoons, garlands, and pilasters. Examples include the former Nederlandsche Bank on Oude Turfmarkt, the Koning Willemshuis on Egelantiersstraat, and the white-plastered townhouses on Plantage Parklaan.
Living and cooking
The bright and spacious living area extends across almost the entire floor. Thanks to the high ceilings and abundant glasswork, the sense of space is maximized. The sitting area is located at the front of the house, while the dining area adjoins the modern open kitchen and offers access to the garden. The contemporary Bulthaup kitchen is equipped with an extra-wide stainless steel countertop with a raised marble bar and dining area. In the rear extension, the sink and cooling area have been carefully integrated. The kitchen features handleless cabinets and drawers and is outfitted with high-quality Gaggenau appliances, including an oven, dishwasher, wine fridge, and a fridge/freezer combination. Additionally, this kitchen offers extra comfort with a teppanyaki plate, wok burner, built-in steam oven, Quooker, and waste disposal unit. The living area is elegantly finished with recessed ceiling spotlights and a stylish wooden floor. There is a guest toilet in the hallway.
Sleeping and bathing
The master bedroom, situated at the rear, features a spacious walk-in closet. The room offers additional space by enclosing the former balcony, making it ideal for a vanity table or an extra workspace. The en-suite bathroom is equipped with a bathtub, walk-in shower, and a double vanity. The two other bedrooms are located at the front; one of the rooms has access to a balcony. Both rooms have built-in wardrobes and share a central bathroom on the landing, which is fitted with a walk-in shower and a double vanity. The entire bedroom floor is finished with an oak wood floor.
The Basement
The basement features two spacious rooms. The room at the front is set up as a guest bedroom with a built-in wardrobe, while the room at the rear is currently used as an office. At the back, there is also a second large living area with an adjoining storage room, equipped with a large wine fridge, refrigerator/freezer, and extra storage space. This space is currently used as a playroom and office but can also serve as an additional bedroom. Additionally, there is a bathroom, accessible from the hallway, finished in the same style as the other bathrooms and equipped with a shower and double vanity. This floor also includes a laundry room, discreetly tucked away in a cupboard under the stairs, and a separate toilet. With a ceiling height of 2.38 meters, the basement offers a full-fledged addition to this family home, complete with underfloor heating for extra comfort.
The Garden
The large south-facing garden is particularly sunny and offers plenty of privacy due to the abundant planting. There is ample space for a cozy dining area and convenient storage space.
