Spectacular Loft Apartment with Panoramic IJ Views in Amsterdam Houthavens

This spectacular loft apartment is situated on the third and fourth floors of a climate neutral residential complex located in the Houthavens district of Amsterdam. The property offers approximately 140 square meters of living space and features a sunny southeast facing terrace of 9 square meters with panoramic views over the IJ. The building was completed in 2016 and was designed by the renowned architect Marc Koehler, resulting in a distinctive and contemporary residential complex that blends organically with its waterfront surroundings.

The apartment is accessible via a lift from the communal entrance on the ground floor. Upon arrival on the third floor, residents enter through a private anteroom containing the meter cupboard before gaining access to the main living area. The entrance hall includes a practical coat closet that provides discreet storage for outerwear and shoes. The living floor has an open and spacious layout with ceiling high windows along both sides of the apartment, ensuring excellent natural light throughout the day. These impressive window sections offer views over the IJ towards Amsterdam Noord, including landmarks such as the A'DAM Tower, the Eye film museum, and the towers of the St. Nicholas Church, Wester Church, the Royal Palace on Dam Square, and the Rembrandt Towers.

The living room is positioned at the front of the property and benefits from the generous ceiling height and the aforementioned panoramic window sections. At the rear of the living floor, a luxurious open plan kitchen has been installed. This kitchen is from the premium German brand Poggenpohl and features handleless white cabinets and drawers. The kitchen includes a spacious cooking island and is equipped with high end built in appliances. Notable appliances include a Kupperbusch induction cooktop, a Quooker instant boiling water tap, and both a conventional oven and a steam oven from Miele.

A compact storage room is located behind the coat closet and is accessible from the living room area. The entire third floor has been finished with a light grey poured resin floor that incorporates both underfloor heating and underfloor cooling systems. Automatic exterior sun blinds have been installed on the windows to regulate indoor temperature and prevent excessive solar heat gain during warmer months.

A floating staircase in the center of the living floor leads to the upper sleeping floor on the fourth level. This upper floor has been finished with light colored flooring that creates a pleasant contrast with the darker tones of the staircase. The landing on this floor features a rounded video that overlooks the living area below, creating a visual connection between the two levels while maintaining a sense of spatial separation.

At the rear of the fourth floor, a study room has been created that also serves as a lounge or reading area. This space includes a compact built in closet and a separate laundry room with connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The main bedroom is located at the front of this floor and features automatic sun blinds as well as a spacious walk in closet. The listing indicates that it is possible to create an additional bedroom on this floor, which would increase the living area by approximately 6 square meters according to the alternative floor plan provided by the seller.

The sanitary facilities are centrally located on the fourth floor and are finished in a light grey and white color scheme. The bathroom includes a large walk in shower with both a rain shower head and a hand shower, underfloor heating, a sleek white vanity unit with an illuminated mirror, and an additional bathroom cabinet. There is also an option to install a second toilet on the third floor if desired.

The apartment has been finished to a high standard throughout, with attention to detail evident in the choice of materials and the quality of the installations. The property features HR+++ glazing for optimal thermal insulation, and the combination of underfloor heating, underfloor cooling, and mechanical ventilation ensures a comfortable indoor climate throughout the year. Three solar panels have been installed on the building to contribute to the energy efficiency of the apartment.

The building includes a communal rooftop terrace that offers spectacular views over the IJ, the harbors, and the city skyline.
