Park View
The sale of a diverse selection of residences is carefully guided by our office. Personally, Oud-West feels like a second home—a neighborhood where vibrancy and character come together. The dynamic atmosphere makes it an appealing place to live, offering a broad range of amenities. Bilderdijkstraat, along with Kinkerstraat and De Clercqstraat, forms the beating heart of the district. Here, artisanal specialty shops, delicatessens, and contemporary boutiques alternate, while the area also boasts a wealth of refined restaurants and inviting cafés. The apartment at Bilderdijkstraat 11-1, which we have the privilege to sell, combines a well-considered layout with a central location. At the front, the lively energy of the city is palpable, with views over Bilderdijkpark, while the rear offers a serene retreat. A remarkable living experience in one of Amsterdam’s most beloved neighborhoods.
The characterful building at Bilderdijkstraat 11 was constructed in 1903, showcasing the craftsmanship of late 19th-century Amsterdam architecture. The façade, composed of warm red brick with natural stone accents, embodies the Neo-Renaissance style—a movement that was popular in the city at the time. The façade’s design, featuring tall windows with arched tops, lends the building a stately appearance. Striking wrought-iron balconies add an elegant touch, while the ground floor boasts a stunning storefront with large window sections, adorned with flowing lines and refined details reminiscent of the Art Nouveau style. This blend of Neo-Renaissance and Art Nouveau is characteristic of the period, reflecting how architects around 1900 experimented with different influences to create a rich, artisanal aesthetic. A timeless building that contributes to Amsterdam’s distinctive streetscape. In the 1990s, a travel agency occupied the ground floor, whereas today, the building is once again fully used as a residence. In 2007, the property underwent an extensive renovation, during which all window frames were replaced, and the entire structure was modernized. A few years later, in 2010, the residence was divided into four apartment rights.
The spacious living area is situated at the sunlit front of the residence. Large windows provide a stunning view of Bilderdijkpark, seamlessly connecting the space to the dining area and open kitchen, fostering a sense of cohesion and spaciousness. The kitchen combines warm, natural materials with a timeless design. The light wood grain of the cabinetry harmonizes beautifully with the stone-like countertop. Modern amenities, such as a four-burner gas stove and a Quooker tap, offer both convenience and a refined aesthetic.
The generous bedroom, adjacent to the kitchen, is located at the quiet rear of the residence. Directly connected is the spacious bathroom, complete with a double vanity, a toilet, and a bathtub with a shower—an inviting space for relaxation. Additionally, a second bathroom, accessible from the kitchen, is equipped with a shower, toilet, radiator, and vanity. This layout ensures both comfort and functionality. At the front, a separate study or bedroom adjoins the living area, featuring a large window that bathes the space in natural light.
At the front of the residence, a French balcony opens onto Bilderdijkpark, allowing the vibrant city atmosphere to blend harmoniously with the park’s greenery. At the rear, a second balcony, facing east and approximately 5 m² in size, offers a tranquil retreat—a place where the city’s energy gives way to a serene moment of outdoor relaxation.
