This beautiful and spacious family home offers an exceptional living experience in one of Amsterdam's most sought-after neighborhoods. Located on the picturesque Jan Olphert Vaillantlaan in Steigereiland-Zuid, this property combines modern comfort with an enviable location that puts you close to nature while keeping you connected to the heart of the city.
The property boasts an impressive living area of 185 square meters spread across four well-designed floors, providing ample space for families of all sizes. With five bedrooms and the potential to easily expand to six or seven rooms, this home offers flexibility to adapt to your changing needs over the years.
As you approach the property, you will immediately notice its position on a beautiful wide boulevard at the beginning of IJburg. The street is considered one of the most pleasant in the entire IJburg area, situated on the beautifully designed Steigereiland with a wide sidewalk featuring benches and garden tables on both sides. Just around the corner, you will find the entrance to Diemerpark and the water, where you can enjoy sailing or swimming at the swimming jetty near Vrijburcht.
Stepping inside, the entrance hall welcomes you and provides access to the meter cupboard, toilet, and the fine, spacious living room with an open kitchen. The kitchen is thoughtfully designed with a long countertop and a good stove with oven, arranged in an L-shape that integrates seamlessly with the living room. There is plenty of room for a long dining table, and in one corner, you will find a small elevated platform area that currently houses a piano, adding character to the space.
The living room is generous in size and features sliding doors that open to the deep southeast-facing garden. During the warm months, you can open the doors and let the garden become an extension of your living space, creating a wonderful indoor-outdoor flow that is perfect for entertaining or simply enjoying a peaceful afternoon.
A cozy wood stove serves as the centerpiece of the seating area, allowing you to gather around the fire during the colder months and create a warm, inviting atmosphere throughout the home.
Moving to the first floor, you will discover two bedrooms that were originally three, offering the option to reconfigure if desired. This level also houses the bathroom, which was renovated in 2020 and features a shower, toilet, and double sink vanity. The modern fixtures and thoughtful design make this a comfortable and functional space for the whole family.
The second floor continues to impress with two additional bedrooms and a large storage area. Notably, the connections for a second bathroom are already present in this storage space, offering the exciting possibility of adding another bathroom should you wish to expand the home's amenities.
The third floor is a standout feature of this property. It is an open space with a small sink, a wood stove for those seeking additional warmth and ambiance, and a sliding door that leads to a spacious roof terrace facing west. This terrace is the perfect spot to watch the sunset at the end of the day, offering a private outdoor retreat with views over the surrounding area. The combination of the southeast garden and the west-facing roof terrace ensures you can enjoy the sun throughout the day.
Throughout the home, quality finishes are evident. The floors feature hardwood parquet sourced from a gymnasium, adding character and durability. The walls are smoothly plastered, creating a clean, modern aesthetic that complements any interior design style.
The property was built in 2004 and benefits from an excellent A+ energy label, reflecting its efficient insulation including roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. The home is connected to city heating for both central heating and hot water, ensuring reliable and efficient temperature control year-round.
The Zuidbuurt of Steigereiland where this home is located is a true delight for architecture enthusiasts. Over the years, it has developed into a beautiful collection of different house and commercial space designs, including the famous theater café Vrijburcht. This unique architectural diversity creates a vibrant, interesting streetscape that sets the area apart from typical residential developments.
The location offers everything you could need. On the island and throughout IJburg, you will find various schools, sports clubs, shops, boutiques, and hospitality venues.
