Description
Situated on one of the most attractive locations in Steigereiland South, this unique semi detached corner house offers approximately 220 square meters of living space including the garage. The property boasts a free view over the reed beds and the Zeeburgerbaai. It features a delightful sunny garden facing southwest with direct access to the water. The residence comprises five bedrooms, three internal balconies, and a wonderful roof terrace with a unique view of the setting sun and the water. The combination of architecture, natural light, sightlines, and finishing quality gives the house a quality that is difficult to capture in words. It is a striking home that really must be experienced personally. This residence, designed by the renowned ANA Architects, has been finished down to the last detail.
The house features a Siematic kitchen, custom cupboards, sun-resistant glass, and beautiful cast floors, which are even present in the garage where there is space for two cars. The southwest garden forms a natural extension of the living space and borders the water. Here one can enjoy peace, privacy, and the sun until late in the evening. Via the shared jetty, one can sail, sup, or swim straight into the IJmeer.
The ground floor is accessed via the hall which leads to the spacious kitchen. Without a doubt, this is the heart of the home. The luxury Siematic kitchen is equipped with Siemens built-in appliances, a Quooker Combi, and a beautiful cooking island with a bar that invites extensive cooking and lingering at the table. On colder days, the Kal-Fire corner fireplace provides extra atmosphere and warmth, while the large extension with electric Velux skylights brings in a beautiful amount of natural light. Even sustainability and appearance have been considered, as the roof of the extension is executed as a green sedum roof. The large sliding door, equipped with a screen, connects indoors with outdoors and provides access to the lovely garden on the southwest. From the garden, one walks directly to the green shore zone towards the IJmeer. Swimming, supping, or boating is literally part of daily life here thanks to the shared jetty at the water. The internal garage offers space for two cars, bicycles, and extra storage space. From the garage, one can walk inside to the hall and kitchen. There is also a charging point for an electric car. A utility room is possible as the pipes are already present.
The first floor is reached via a sleek and robust staircase. On this floor, one finds the spacious living room with a Jacobus wood stove and beautiful light intake thanks to the corner location and large windows. From the living room, there is access to a sunny balcony on the southwest with a free view over the water. In the living room, a comfortable work or study place has been created with a stylish separation and large windows in the side wall. This floor also houses the spacious master bedroom with a custom-made closet wall from 2023, its own bathroom, and direct access to the second balcony on the southeast.
The second floor is notably spacious, featuring a spacious landing that gives access to four full bedrooms, three of which have access to a balcony on the southeast. Also located on this floor are the second bathroom with a bath, separate shower, and sauna. Furthermore, there is a toilet, a separate laundry room with a sink, connections for a washing machine and dryer, and a ceiling-high custom closet.
The roof terrace is accessible via a fixed staircase leading to the roof house with landing and the royal roof terrace of approximately 70 square meters. It is a wonderful outdoor space with a hardwood floor, lots of privacy, beautiful views over water and greenery, and especially beautiful sunsets. Thanks to the partial canopy, this is a place where one can sit outside comfortably almost all year round. It is a lovely spot for long summer evenings or dinners with friends. Preparations for an outdoor kitchen are already present with an outdoor tap, lighting, and electricity.
This sunny corner house is located in the South Street on the quiet side of the island and is a green and relaxed area. Characteristics are the wide avenues with double rows of trees and the diversity due to the predominant number of self-build homes. The neighborhood is surrounded by water and nature. Swimming in the summer, skating in the winter, entertainment for everyone. The Diemerpark is nearby, the size of the Vondelpark, where one can sports, walk, or cycle to their heart's content. Facilities on Steigereiland include two primary schools, childcare facilities, a medical center, theater cafe Vrijburcht, Sluis Gym, and restaurant Ecluse. Steigereiland is very accessible, both by bike, car, and public transport. On the adjacent Haveneiland, one finds the shopping center of IJburg with supermarkets, HEMA, Bagels & Beans, a drugstore, a good bookstore, and various other shops and restaurants. Every Saturday there is a local market.
The location is also very strategic near the center of Amsterdam, near the Ring A10 and the access to the A1. Tram line 26 takes you to Central Station in fifteen minutes and to Strand IJburg. There is a ferry from Zeeburgereiland to the Eastern islands, so one is even faster in the center by bike. Via the bicycle bridge, the beautiful Flevopark and the Watergraafsmeer can be reached in a short time by bike.
The house is a sustainable home with low maintenance requirements. It features aluminum window frames, a sustainable facade, HR++ glass, and is gas-free. It has an Energy Label A+ and 22 solar panels. The entire house has a cast floor with floor heating, including the garage. Sun-resistant glass has been applied in the windows and facades of the side wall and water wall. Specially designed floating oak staircases, railings, built-in cupboards, and window sills are featured throughout. Custom-made screens are present in both windows and sliding doors.
The leasehold canon is 6,939 euros per year until 2057, which is tax deductible. After this period, it has already been fixed at the notary at 3,737 euros per year under favorable conditions. Buying off the leasehold perpetuity is an option. Delivery is in consultation. The sales information has been compiled with great care but no rights can be derived from the correctness of the content.
