As a real estate agent at Broersma, I have the privilege of residences the sale residences a wide variety of residences . This variety keeps me on my toes and gives me insight into the dynamics of the Amsterdam housing market. Still, I have a soft spot for this part of the city.

Van Hogendorpstraat 158 is part of a closed block of buildings with a characteristic facade rhythm, consisting of classic masonry details, tall windows, and bluestone sills. The house is located on the ground floor and has its own entrance from the street. The facade is a textbook example of the Amsterdam architectural style around 1900: robust brickwork, arched window openings, and subtly staggered decorative layers in red brick. In 2017, the house underwent a thorough internal renovation. The original wooden structural floor was replaced by a concrete slab floor with underfloor heating, creating a stable basis for modern use. At the same time, the layout was improved and walls, Services and installations finishes were renewed. The house is entirely on one level and logically laid out, with a central living space, two bedrooms a full bathroom. In 2024, the kitchen was renovated. It blends seamlessly with the existing materials and forms a bright and functional centerpiece in the house. Its location between the street and garden sides creates a natural transition between more private and lighter spaces, with the garden and garden house being a valuable addition to the total usable area. This house shows how modesty and functionality can reinforce each other – both in architecture and in experience. A house that does not impose itself, but invites.
The living room is sandwiched between the hall and the garden side and literally forms the heart of the house. This central position gives the space a cozy atmosphere, enhanced by the soft daylight that enters indirectly. The concrete cast floor, combined with calm wall colors, forms a modest base in which furniture, art, and textiles come into their own. The sitting area creates an intimate domain – perfect for reading a good book or watching a series on the sofa. Towards the garden, a lighter dimension unfolds. Here, the interior makes a leap outside, as it were. The dining room is flooded with light thanks to the wide front and the generous skylight. The wooden table, centrally positioned, overlooks the greenery of the garden and the modern garden shed. The contrast with the more enclosed seating area makes this place extra inviting. The kitchen, renovated in 2024, is compact in design but grand in execution. Dark wood, ceramics, and a refined worktop create an elegant look. The long sightline enhances the feeling of spaciousness; open compartments and a wall shelf above the worktop bring rhythm and airiness to the whole. Within this very well-designed home, the living space is surprisingly versatile: from intimate evenings in the sitting area to long dinners at the garden table – living and cooking go together effortlessly here.
At the rear, adjacent to the garden, is the master bedroom: a peaceful, atmospheric space with French doors opening onto the greenery. The large bed and natural color tones create a calm foundation. A built-in closet offers practical storage space, subtly concealed in the wall. At the front is the second bedroom, currently used as a nursery. Here, subdued colors, a soothing interior, and the view of the street greenery set the tone. The room is light and spacious, with two southeast-facing windows that let in the sun. Despite its compact layout, it is a fully-fledged room with space to play, change, and relax. The bathroom is cleverly laid out and finished in a contemporary palette of gray and white. The combination of glossy metro tiles, a corner bath with rain shower, and a sleek washbasin unit makes the space both functional and well-maintained. The niches in the shower wall offer extra storage space, while the dark cast floor grounds the composition and brings tranquility. Here, every room has been designed with an eye for comfort, brightness, and ease of use. No excess, no emptiness—just what you need to start the day well and end it gently.
A surprisingly quiet oasis in the middle of the city: the garden at the rear of Van Hogendorpstraat 158 offers shelter, character, and sunshine at the end of the afternoon. Thanks to its northwestern orientation, the space is bathed in the soft light of the afternoon and early evening—precisely the moment when life slows down and being outside becomes second nature. The garden is decorated with a light gravel floor, wooden decking, and mature plants, giving it a structured yet natural feel. A comfortable lounge sofa is invitingly placed under the tree, flanked by terracotta pots and flowering planters. Here, there is room for relaxation—for reading the newspaper or enjoying a glass of wine in good company. At the back of the garden is the detached garden shed. Made of wood and fitted with double doors with floor-to-ceiling glass, it is a valuable addition to the house. Inside, the space is practically designed, with a workspace, natural light, and room for storage or guests. The sightline makes this garden more than just an outdoor space – it is an extension of everyday life. Its secluded location ensures optimal privacy.

The bedroom is located at the rear, an oasis of calm where you can relax. The kitchen is the heart of the home: a place where countless wonderful memories have been made.

What will be missed most is the unique balance between tranquility and excitement. This house offers a quiet, relaxed place in the middle of a lively neighborhood. Saturdays were especially special: first strolling through the Noordermarkt and Lindengrachtmarkt, then enjoying fresh cheese and nuts in the garden in peace and quiet. That contrast is something that will be sorely missed.
