Bestevâerstraat 25H, Amsterdam

Ground floor apartment with a spacious basement – ready for a new chapter

Behind a characteristic facade dating from 1922 lies a ground floor apartment that offers plenty of potential. It may not be picture perfect, but it is an honest home with a clear layout, generous dimensions, and those typical 1920s elements that cannot be replicated. With approximately 152 m² of living space, spread over the ground floor and basement, this is a home that calls for vision and daring. Suit doors still determine the layout of the living room and give the house that characteristic 1920s structure, while the high ceilings create a feeling of space and air. The interior needs modernization, but that is precisely why you can create something of your own here from the ground up. A family home, a spacious ground floor apartment with work and sleeping space downstairs, or a combination of living and working: the layout offers many possibilities. This is not a home that sells itself, but one that you have to see, feel, and redesign. That is exactly what makes Bestevâerstraat 25-H interesting.

The neighborhood
Bestevâerstraat is located in Amsterdam-West, in a neighborhood where urban life is pleasantly interspersed with tranquility and greenery. Daily amenities, schools, childcare, and local shops are within walking distance, as are public transportation to the city center and Sloterdijk Station. By bike, you can quickly reach Westerpark or the canals. The roads to the A10 ring road are easily accessible, making it convenient to work outside the city. It is a neighborhood with a diverse character, with many 1920s buildings and where neighbors still know each other.

Ground floor
The private entrance leads into the hall at the front of the house. On the right is a practical space with a kitchen layout, ideal as a utility room or extra workspace, with the toilet and stairs to the basement right next to it. As you walk further, the house opens up into two distinct areas. On the left is a spacious room at the front, perfect as a study, playroom, or guest room, depending on how you want to use the house. At the rear, you immediately feel the 1920s character: the living room and dining room are still separated by double doors, allowing you to make the spaces feel open or intimate. French doors from the living room open onto the balcony. At the rear right is the second kitchen, fitted with corner cabinets and located in a space that also lends itself perfectly to a dining area. The hallway also leads to the bathroom and the staircase.

Basement
The basement adds considerable extra living space and is divided into several rooms and storage space. Here you will find a spacious bedroom, a second room that is suitable as a study or guest room, and various practical areas for storage, laundry, and installations. The exposed beams give the basement a robust character. Here too, modernization is desirable, but the possibilities are endless. Consider a full-fledged sleeping area, a quiet home office, or a combination of both. The direct connection to the ground floor makes the whole space logical and functional.

Outdoor space
The garden is one of the quiet advantages of this home. Deep, green, and sheltered, it offers a surprising amount of privacy. The basics are there, but the exterior also needs attention and redesign. With a new layout, this could become a lovely place to relax, play, or spend long evenings outdoors. The garden is a pleasant extension of the home and gives this ground floor apartment a quality that is rare in the city.
