Spectacular waterfront corner apartment with panoramic IJ views, A-label and 14 m² terrace

This exceptional corner apartment of approximately 144 m² (NEN2580) is situated at Barentszplein in the Zeeheldenbuurt, on the edge of the Houthavens and Western Islands area of Amsterdam. The property was thoroughly renovated in 2021 and offers an unparalleled living experience directly on the water, with panoramic views over the IJ, the Pontsteiger and the Oude Houthaven.

The apartment is accessed via a lift or staircase, leading to a stylish modern entrance with video intercom, doorbells and letterboxes. Upon entering, sightlines immediately draw the eye towards the water. The entrance hall provides access to all rooms on this level.

The sleeping quarters comprise two spacious bedrooms, both featuring bespoke built-in wardrobes extending to the ceiling. One bedroom includes a custom-made make-up table. The corner position of the apartment ensures additional windows, optimizing natural light throughout the day and allowing for excellent ventilation. A third bedroom could easily be created in the current workspace area if desired.

The luxurious bathroom has been designed as a wellness space, featuring a spacious double walk-in shower with copper showerheads, warm green marble-look tiles, a double washbasin with built-in taps, and a designer towel radiator. The separate toilet has been renovated in the same cohesive style. Adjacent to the bathroom is a generous internal storage room with connections for a washing machine and dryer, also providing ample space for coats and shoes.

The living area is located on a lower level and forms the heart of this home. An impressive glass façade spanning over 5 metres wide provides exceptional natural light and unobstructed views over the IJ, Botel, the Pontsteiger and the Silodam. Boat and ferry traffic can be observed throughout the day. The dining area and living room flow directly into a luxurious bespoke kitchen measuring 7 metres wide, featuring a 3.5-metre cooking island.

The kitchen is equipped with high-quality built-in appliances including a large Bosch refrigerator and freezer, Bosch dishwasher, wine climate cabinet, Bora hob with integrated extraction, a brass Quooker tap with sparkling and boiling water functions, and a Bosch oven. Custom-made glass partitions with refined profiles give the apartment its distinctive architectural character throughout.

Large sliding doors open onto a generous waterfront terrace of approximately 14 m², where the open positioning allows enjoyment of both morning and evening sun. On warm summer days, swimming in the IJ is possible. The terrace forms a natural extension of the living area.

Additional features include a private storage unit of approximately 7 m² on the ground floor, underfloor heating in the living room, a Zigbee smart lighting system, and excellent insulation throughout (roof, walls, floor, and HR++ glass). The property holds an A energy label. Ceiling heights reach nearly 6 metres at the highest point, enhancing the sense of space.

The building features a lift, video intercom and is professionally managed by a financially healthy VvE. Monthly service charges are €355 for the apartment and €63.95 for an optional parking space in the underground garage at level -2, accessible by lift. The parking space is offered separately for €65,000.

The location offers an exceptional combination of waterfront living with urban amenities nearby. Within walking and cycling distance are the Jordaan, Central Station, and Westerpark. The area is characterised by high-quality dining options including BAK, REM Eiland, Restaurant Tannay, Rayleigh & Ramsay, De Walvis, and Vooges. The NDSM wharf is easily reachable by ferry or bicycle. The neighbourhood also offers quality childcare and schools. Accessibility is excellent, with Central Station reachable on foot or by bike, and the A10 ring road within minutes by car.

The property is situated on municipal leasehold land (General Provisions 2016). The current lease period has been bought off until January 2057, and the perpetual (euwigdurende) leasehold has been fixed under favourable conditions set by the Municipality of Amsterdam after that date.

The apartment was built in 2010 with a plat dak covered in bitumineuze dakbedekking. Completion is in consultation with the seller, and the buyer may choose a notary in Amsterdam, provided the purchase agreement follows the Model Ring Amsterdam. A purchase agreement is only concluded once the contract has been signed.
