Curaçaostraat 66-11058 BZ AmsterdamPostjeskade e.o.

Characterful Living in the Popular West Indies Quarter This charming 1930s apartment combines the beautiful architecture of the Amsterdam School with an abundance of natural light and a fantastic location in Amsterdam-West. Welcome to Curaçaostraat 66-1. What the resident will miss: “The lovely neighbours, having sports facilities just around the corner and playing table tennis with friends at the sports ground and playground in the street. Everything is close by, including so many great places to eat, yet at home it still feels wonderfully peaceful. The leafy street, the mature trees and hearing the birds singing in the morning — right in the middle of bustling Amsterdam. It is exactly that combination I will miss enormously.” Living on Curaçaostraat. Then and Now: Until the beginning of the twentieth century, the area where Curaçaostraat now lies consisted of meadows, waterways and farms. Originally part of the municipality of Sloten, the area became part of Amsterdam in 1921. As the city expanded westwards, the former polder landscape was transformed into a new residential district, with space, light and greenery playing an important role in its design. The building at Curaçaostraat 66 dates from 1935 and was constructed during the development of Plan West. Its architecture shows clear influences of the more restrained Amsterdam School movement and the characteristic building style of the 1930s. The broad street, distinctive brickwork, bay windows and stained glass are still reminders of this remarkable architectural period. Almost a century later, Curaçaostraat has become a highly sought-after, leafy residential street in Amsterdam-West. Its location is particularly appealing: situated on the border between De Baarsjes and Oud-West, it offers the best of both worlds. The relaxed atmosphere of De Baarsjes on one side and the vibrant city life of Oud-West on the other. The street itself is quiet and green, with a pleasant mix of residents. Young families, creatives and genuine city lovers together create a lively yet relaxed neighbourhood with a strong sense of community. Via Surinameplein, you can be in the heart of Oud-West within minutes, with its extensive selection of restaurants, cafés, coffee bars, specialist shops and boutiques. For everyday groceries, Albert Heijn and Jumbo are both nearby. De Hallen and Ten Katemarkt are also within easy cycling distance. For those who enjoy greenery and outdoor space, there is plenty of choice. Rembrandtpark, Erasmuspark and Vondelpark are all within walking or cycling distance — ideal for a stroll, a morning run or a relaxing afternoon in the park. Tour of the Apartment: Via the communal entrance and staircase, we reach the apartment on the first floor. Behind the front door is a spacious hallway providing access to the various rooms. The entire apartment features wooden flooring, creating a calm and cohesive feel throughout. Living Room and Dining Area The living room, measuring approximately 25 m², is situated at the front of the property. The characteristic bay window with stained-glass windows allows plenty of natural light to enter and gives the room a wonderful sense of character. The original marble fireplace forms an elegant focal point and highlights the period charm of the apartment. Adjacent is the dining area, which can be separated from the living room by characteristic sliding doors with stained-glass detailing. A beautiful original feature that not only adds atmosphere but also allows the two spaces to be enjoyed either together or separately. Kitchen The kitchen is situated at the rear of the apartment, centrally positioned between the two bedrooms, and measures approximately 4.6 m². Finished in high-gloss white cabinetry with a wooden worktop, the kitchen has a fresh and timeless appearance. A combination of wall and base units provides ample storage space. The kitchen is fully equipped with a gas hob, oven, extractor hood, large fridge-freezer and dishwasher. The washing machine is also neatly integrated here. Compact yet practical, the kitchen provides everything required for everyday use. Bedrooms The two bedrooms are positioned on either side of the kitchen, both at the peaceful rear of the property.The principal bedroom measures approximately 9.8 m². French doors with a fanlight above provide direct access to the balcony and allow plenty of natural light into the room. From the bedroom, you look out over the green inner gardens, creating a surprisingly peaceful atmosphere in the heart of Amsterdam. The second bedroom, measuring approximately 7.9 m², is highly versatile and could be used as a bedroom, children's room, guest room or comfortable home office. A built-in cupboard provides additional storage, while French doors also give direct access to the balcony. Bathroom The bathroom is compact and functional, fitted with a shower, washbasin and toilet. The space is efficiently arranged and provides everything required for everyday comfort. Outdoor Living At the rear of the apartment is a balcony of approximately 6 m². Its easterly aspect means you can enjoy the morning sunshine here — a lovely place to start the day with a cup of coffee while looking out over the greenery of the surrounding inner gardens. The apartment offers a beautiful combination of characteristic Amsterdam period details and comfortable city living. The bay window, stained-glass windows, marble fireplace and sliding doors bring character to the interior, while the peaceful rear aspect, balcony and green inner gardens provide a welcome contrast to the energy of city life.

Potential The current layout works well, but the apartment also lends itself beautifully to a different vision. By opening up the kitchen towards the current dining area, it would be possible to create a generous, light-filled kitchen-diner flowing seamlessly into the living room — a true heart of the home. In the space where the kitchen is currently located, extending a single wall could create a generous principal bedroom: larger, quieter and with a natural connection to the rear of the property. Equally, this space could become a children's bedroom. The structure of the apartment invites you to make it your own. What you choose to create is entirely up to you. Interested?
