Spacious Waterfront Apartment with Private Parking in Amsterdam Houthavens
Key Features
Description
This spacious and bright residence is located on Libau-eiland in the Houthavens-West district of Amsterdam. The property spans approximately 129 square meters across three floors and comes with a private parking space included in the purchase price. The apartment is part of a modern new construction project completed in 2025 and benefits from an A++ energy rating.
The ground floor features an entrance hall with staircase access and a designated area where a floating terrace and private boat can be realized in the future. This direct connection to the water offers a unique living experience characteristic of the Houthavens area.
The first floor contains the main living areas. Upon reaching this level via the staircase, residents enter a hallway that provides access to a storage room, a separate toilet, and the open plan living space. The living kitchen area is generously proportioned and features large, high windows that allow abundant natural light to fill the interior. The living room is distinguished by wooden beams and columns that create a warm and characterful atmosphere. The kitchen has not yet been installed, giving buyers the opportunity to select and design the kitchen according to their personal preferences. The layout has already been prepared to accommodate a cooking island. A French balcony connects the living room to the exterior and provides views of the current and future water features.
The second floor houses two bedrooms and a bathroom. The bathroom is equipped with a shower, toilet, and washbasin. Both the living room and one of the bedrooms offer views over the water, contributing to a sense of tranquility and spaciousness throughout the property.
The top floor contains a technical room and an additional space that can serve as a home office, hobby room, or storage area. This flexibility allows residents to adapt the space to their changing needs over time.
The property is delivered in a casco state, meaning the interior finish can be completely customized according to the buyer's taste and requirements. This provides a rare opportunity to create a personalized living environment in a newly built home.
Sustainability is a key feature of this residence. The building utilizes Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) construction, a bio-based material that stores CO2 and contributes to a healthy indoor climate. The wooden structure remains partially visible, adding to the warm atmosphere of the interior. Additional sustainable features include triple A+ insulation, underfloor heating, and underfloor cooling, ensuring optimal comfort throughout the year. The property is connected to district heating for both space heating and domestic hot water.
The apartment is situated on municipal leasehold land. The annual ground lease amounts to 9,100.25 euros for the apartment and 57.41 euros for the parking space. These amounts are tax deductible. The stated purchase price includes the prepaid annual ground lease through December 31, 2026. The ground lease is indexed annually.
The Homeowners Association (VvE) is professionally managed and active. The monthly contribution is 310.33 euros. The VvE is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has building insurance.
A private parking space is included in the purchase price. Additional parking spaces are optionally available for purchase separately. The surrounding area is car-free, creating a safe and pleasant environment particularly suitable for families with children.
The outdoor space consists of a sun terrace measuring 6 square meters, with dimensions of 2.50 meters in depth and 2.50 meters in width.
Libau-eiland in the Houthaven area offers a distinctive residential environment. The neighborhood is small-scale, child-friendly, and car-free while remaining centrally located in Amsterdam. The atmosphere is convivial with abundant greenery, wooden facades, and intimate streets where children can play safely outdoors and neighbors know each other. Despite the peaceful setting, the Jordaan district is only a ten-minute bicycle ride away, providing easy access to shops, restaurants, and various amenities along the Spaarndammerstraat and Haarlemmerdijk. Schools, childcare facilities, and Westerpark are within walking or short cycling distance.
The architecture of Libau-eiland makes subtle references to the historical character of the Houthaven, featuring wooden facades, sloping roofs, and natural colors that create a warm and calm appearance. The streetscape is intimate yet offers beautiful views over the water and sky. During summer months, residents can enjoy the water-rich environment with opportunities for swimming or stand-up paddleboarding directly from the street, a rare luxury within Amsterdam.
The surrounding area also offers a surprisingly diverse range of dining and cultural options. Nearby attractions include REM Eiland, BAK, Pont 13, and Karaat, as well as theaters, museums, and the vibrant Westergasfabriek with its creative and cultural hotspots. Amsterdam North is easily accessible via the ferry, adding another dynamic and trendy dimension to the local area.
Living on Libau-eiland combines the benefits of peace and space by the water with the liveliness of the city. The property is available for occupancy on short notice and holds an SWK Guarantee Certificate, providing assurance regarding the quality of the construction.
