Unique Penthouse with Breathtaking Panoramic Views Over the Amstel
Key Features
Description
This exceptional penthouse is situated on the 20th floor of HAUT, an award-winning architectural masterpiece designed by TEAM V Architecture. Located in the Amstelkwartier-Noord district of Amsterdam, the property occupies the absolute top floor of what is one of the highest wooden residential towers in the Netherlands. The building was completed in 2021 and represents a remarkable achievement in sustainable construction, utilizing natural wooden materials throughout its structure while incorporating advanced innovations for optimal comfort.
The penthouse offers a generous living area of 156 square meters, complemented by an impressive 77 square meters of terraces and rooftop spaces that wrap around the property. These outdoor areas allow residents to enjoy both morning and afternoon sun while taking in the exceptional surroundings. The property is delivered in casco condition, meaning the interior finishing and layout decisions are left entirely to the new owner's preferences and vision.
Access to the top floor requires a special access pass, underscoring the exclusive nature of this residence. Upon entering via the building's luxurious entrance hall, which features a stylish waiting area for guests, residents take the elevator to reach their private domain. The building is equipped with modern amenities including central mailboxes and a Bringme Box for secure package management, eliminating the need to stay home for deliveries.
The living space features enormous floor-to-ceiling windows that frame panoramic views over the Amstel river and the surrounding area. The main living area is oriented to the southwest, providing abundant natural light throughout the day and spectacular sunset views. An open spiral staircase adds character to the spacious living quarters while enhancing the sense of verticality and connection between levels.
The current layout indicates two bedrooms, with the master bedroom featuring its own bathroom. An additional bathroom or laundry room can be arranged at the rear of the property. The space at the back also accommodates a large open kitchen, though this area could alternatively serve as an additional bedroom depending on the owner's preferences. A bonus space on the 21st floor offers possibilities for a home gym, wellness area, or home office.
Climate control is fully automated through smart ventilation systems combined with underfloor heating and cooling. This ensures a comfortable indoor environment year-round regardless of external conditions. The property also features an advanced ambient lighting system that allows residents to set the perfect mood behind closed doors.
The kitchen and interior fixtures remain to be installed, presenting a rare opportunity for buyers to create a living space that perfectly matches their personal taste and lifestyle requirements. The foundation and infrastructure of the property are solid, with high-quality materials and thoughtful architectural planning providing an excellent base for customization.
HAUT's location at the foot of the Amstel river places residents in immediate proximity to water. The immediate surroundings include Park Somerlust where locals gather for picnics, along with various restaurants including George Marine for dining with water views. For those inclined toward water activities, the Amsterdam waterways are easily accessible directly from the building's doorstep.
Parking options include the possibility to purchase an underground parking space in the garage on level minus one. The garage features integrated wallboxes for charging hybrid and electric vehicles, reflecting the building's forward-thinking approach to sustainability. The parking spaces are designed with generous dimensions to ensure comfortable entry and exit. Bicycle storage is provided in a separate semi-underground facility equipped with sufficient electrical outlets.
The property has an energy label A+, supported by double glazing, full insulation, solar collectors, and solar panels. Heating and hot water are provided through city heating (stadsverwarming), and the entire floor features underfloor heating. Exterior sun blinds are installed for managing direct sunlight during warmer periods.
The ground lease (erfpacht) has been purchased perpetually, meaning no further ground lease payments will be required. This represents a significant financial benefit for the owner.
Service costs amount to 610.54 euros per month. The homeowners' association (VvE) is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, has an established maintenance plan, and carries building insurance.
An interesting feature of this listing is the option to combine the penthouse with an adjacent unit. The neighboring penthouse offers 321 square meters across two levels, with two bedrooms, two bathrooms, and substantial upper-level space suitable for a gym, wellness area, home cinema, or office. This combined option would create an extraordinarily large residence with multiple terraces and views spanning both the Amstel and the Watergraafsmeer.
The Amstelkwartier-Noord neighborhood represents one of Amsterdam's newer residential areas, offering a modern living environment with excellent connectivity to the city center while providing a sense of tranquility through its waterside setting. The combination of contemporary architecture, sustainable design, and premium positioning makes this a distinctive opportunity in the Amsterdam real estate market.
Delivery of the property is by mutual agreement, allowing flexibility for the transition. The asking price is 1,575,000 euros, which translates to approximately 10,032 euros per square meter of living space.
