Here, you live high above the neighborhood with plenty of privacy. Below, the quays, the water, and the vibrant life of the district await; above, you enjoy peace and light. An Energy Label A rating, a private storage room, and — available for purchase separately — a parking space with a charging station complete this picture of total comfort.
LAYOUT (see floor plan)
You reach the apartment via the well-maintained communal entrance, equipped with both an elevator and a staircase. The spacious hallway provides access to the various rooms, a separate toilet, and a practical storage closet. Glass-paneled steel doors allow natural light to flow deeper into the home, connecting the spaces in a stylish manner.
The living room forms the heart of the home. Large windows and the open-plan kitchen give the property an exceptionally airy feel, offering ample room for a comfortable seating area and a large dining table. Whether you are relaxing on the sofa, sitting at the table, or cooking, the panoramic view over the city remains a part of your day.
The cozy and modern open SieMatic kitchen features a cooking island with a breakfast bar, a wall of cabinetry, and integrated Siemens appliances, including a combination oven/steamer, a wine cooler, and a Quooker. It is a space where cooking and socializing blend seamlessly: someone can pull up a stool at the bar while you prepare dinner, easily turning a weekday evening into a long, relaxed dinner with friends.
A terrace worth staying home for
Slide open the wide doors and the living room extends naturally onto the sunny, south-facing 13 m² terrace. A relaxed morning coffee outdoors, reading a book in the sun, or enjoying drinks with friends: you have all the space you need here, with Amsterdam as your backdrop. The high elevation makes the panorama extra special, offering stunning sunsets in the evening. Indoors, you also benefit from natural light and sunshine streaming in from both sides of the property.
Space for everyday life
With three bedrooms and an additional study, the layout offers complete flexibility: plenty of room for a family, working from home, or a dedicated hobby space. The second bedroom is remarkably generous—a pleasing bonus that you will notice immediately during a viewing.
The spacious bathroom features a bathtub, a shower, a vanity unit, and a mirrored cabinet. The connections for the washing machine and dryer are also located here; if desired, the washing machine can easily be relocated to the hallway closet. Underfloor heating and underfloor cooling ensure a comfortable indoor climate across all seasons.
NEIGHBORHOOD AND ACCESSIBILITY
The Houthavens is a distinctive, water-rich residential area where modern architecture meets Amsterdam’s maritime history. Green courtyards, bridges, canals, and an attractive mix of high- and low-rise buildings give the neighborhood a unique identity. Low-traffic streets, nearby schools, and playgrounds make it a wonderful area for families. At the same time, you can easily cycle to the Jordaan, the Haarlemmerdijk, and the Westerpark for (vintage) shops, cafes, restaurants, and terraces.
The nearby Spaarndammerstraat offers plenty of options for daily shopping, including supermarkets, local shops, and specialty stores. Just around the corner are popular hotspots like Vessel, Bar Hout, REM, and The July by Hotel Boat & Co, which features a public sun terrace and a swimming jetty that is highly popular with swimmers taking a dip in the IJ during the summer months.
Furthermore, the neighborhood boasts a diverse mix of residents, ranging from young professionals and couples to families and seniors, with childcare facilities within easy reach.
Connections are equally convenient. Both Central Station and Sloterdijk Station are roughly a 10-minute bike ride away, and buses 22 and 48 stop within walking distance of the apartment. The ferry to Amsterdam-Noord departs nearby from the iconic Pontsteiger building; in Noord, destinations like the NDSM wharf are highly popular choices. By car, you can reach the A10 ring road within minutes, offering excellent connections to the rest of Amsterdam and the surrounding region.
