We, as an agency, oversee the sale of a diverse range of properties. Personally, I love spending time in Oud-West and you can often find me there. I enjoy the bustling atmosphere of the neighborhood, and the amenities are excellent. Along streets like Bilderdijkstraat, Kinkerstraat, and J.P. Heijestraat, you’ll find a variety of shops, specialty stores, and delicatessens. Additionally, there are several great restaurants and cozy cafes in the area. The apartment at Lootsstraat 4-1, which we have the privilege of selling, is very well laid out and centrally located. From the front of the building, you experience the urban dynamics, while the back offers a peaceful retreat. If you’re further interested, I invite you to come by. Of course, I’ll be happy to tell you more about the apartment then. Hopefully, see you soon.

Designvision
The Kinkerbuurt was developed at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century during the industrial revolution. Many people migrated to the big city, where industries were flourishing. As the population grew rapidly, the municipality of Amsterdam began constructing outside the Singelgracht. The high demand for new housing led to many traditional skilled builders being unable to keep up. This resulted in more unskilled builders who could construct quickly and cheaply; this phenomenon was termed “revolutionary building.” Characteristic of revolutionary building is the mixed residential and commercial function, two front doors at street level, topped by a white cornice with a roof and house beam. The buildings are generally modestly executed. In 1916, under the direction of Mr. E. van der Eyk and J.A. de Waal, the building unit at Kinkerstraat 363/365 and Lootsstraat 4-8 was constructed. Both men were carpenters by trade and worked together as contractor, architect, and developer. In 1880, they formed an official partnership, Van der Eyk & De Waal, which mainly built residential houses in Zuid and the Watergraafsmeer, as well as in the Kinkerbuurt. There is no clear line in the architectural style of their designs. It is likely that the actual drafting was often done by staff. However, the designs generally align with popular styles of the time. In 2006, the building was divided into apartments. At the time of the division, a foundation investigation was conducted under the supervision of the Lankelma firm, with the foundation receiving a code 2 rating and deemed to be in good condition.

The kitchen completes the space and blends seamlessly with the overall pleasant atmosphere.
Sleeping and bathing
The master bedroom is situated at the front of the apartment and accommodates a double bed and a large wardrobe. The bathroom is accessible from the hallway and features a spacious walk-in shower, bathtub, toilet, and a vanity with a sink.

The balcony, approximately 5 m² in size, is adjacent to the dining room and situated on the southwest. It provides a delightful spot for relaxation, where you can fully enjoy the evening sun.
