As an agency, we handle the sale of a varied selection of properties. Personally, I really enjoy spending time in the Hoofddorpplein area — whether it’s for everyday groceries or something special, like a visit to butcher Van der Laan. On the Sloterkade itself, as well as on streets like the Zeilstraat and Hoofddorpplein, you’ll find a wide range of shops, specialty stores, and delicatessens. The neighbourhood also offers several great restaurants and cosy cafés. The property at Sloterkade 95, which we are proud to offer for sale, is versatile and diverse in many ways. The layout of the two apartment rights has been optimized into two highly functional homes. There’s also the option to combine both units into one spacious family home in a truly unique location along the Kostverlorenvaart canal. At the front of the property, you experience the vibrant city feel, while at the rear you can enjoy peace and quiet in the garden or on the balcony. If you’re interested, I’d be happy to invite you for a viewing. I’ll gladly tell you more about the apartment in person. Hope to see you soon!
Glenn van der Zanden | Real Estate Agent Broersma Residential
Originally, the plan in the early 1900s was to construct a residential block consisting of five identical buildings. In the end, only two were built: Sloterkade 94 and 95. These two adjoining houses were constructed in a traditional Amsterdam style, with influences from the Dutch Neo-Renaissance and elements of 1930s architecture. This is reflected in several characteristic features:
– Symmetry: The façades are symmetrically designed, typical of traditional Dutch townhouses.
– Brick façade: The red brickwork is a classic feature of Amsterdam architectural styles.
– White-painted window frames and cornices: These contrast beautifully with the brick and are characteristic of the Neo-Renaissance style.
– Small balconies with wooden railings: These are reminiscent of the 1930s, when such decorative details were in vogue.
– Classic window layout with muntins: This gives the homes a historic look that ties in with older Dutch architectural traditions.
In 1974, the property at Sloterkade 95 was renovated under the supervision of ir. F.J.E. Dekeukeleire, although little additional information about this architect is available.
The apartment on the ground floor is accessed via a private entrance directly from the street. Thanks to the unique width of the building – nearly 6.8 metres – the floor plan is almost square, resulting in a highly functional layout. The high ceiling of 2.95 metres enhances the sense of space and makes the entire apartment a pleasant place to spend time. The living room, located at the front, is generously sized for this type of apartment and offers ample space for a comfortable seating area. At the rear, you’ll find the dining area, adjacent to the semi-open kitchen. French doors open onto the urban garden, accessible via the veranda. The semi-open kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances, including a 4-burner gas hob, oven, extractor hood, and a freestanding fridge/freezer combination. In addition, the apartment features a large basement of approximately 45 m². Due to the limited ceiling height, which ranges between 1.57 and 1.79 metres, this area is officially classified as internal non-habitable space. However, it is perfectly suited for use as storage and/or for other purposes.
There is also a spacious basement of 45 m², offering ample storage space with a ceiling height ranging from 1.57 to 1.79 metres.
The compact yet functional layout of the apartment continues in the bedroom. While not large, it offers enough space for a full-size double bed. A built-in wardrobe has been neatly integrated into a niche. French doors provide access to the garden. Thanks to the high ceiling of over 2.9 metres, this is a very pleasant space to spend time in. The bathroom is accessible from the hallway and is fitted with a toilet, walk-in shower, washbasin unit, and a connection for a washing machine.
The sunny city garden is accessible through French doors from both the living room and the bedroom. Measuring approximately 26 m² and facing west, the garden offers a true oasis of calm. It’s the perfect place to escape the buzz of the city – an unexpected but delightful bonus to this apartment. Ideal for relaxing or enjoying a cosy barbecue.
