Luxury waterfront villa with private jetty and panoramic Diemerpark views

Situated on Kleine Rieteiland within the IJburg district of Amsterdam, this architectural villa occupies a prime position on the wider, tree-lined section of Lisdoddelaan.

The property was designed under the direction of architect Dirk Jan van Wieringhen Borski for the shell construction and interior architect Jen Alkema for the fit-out and interiors, resulting in a residence defined by refined minimalism and timeless elegance. Every functional element has been thoughtfully concealed, from the underfloor heating system to the air conditioning units, leaving clean architectural lines, natural materials, and a serene sense of calm throughout.

The villa spans approximately 218 square metres of living space across two floors, set within a plot of 286 square metres. The ground floor entrance hall leads into a spectacular double-height reception area that opens into a principal living space of 134 square metres. This expansive open-plan area connects a sitting room with a Boley fireplace, a dining and working zone, and a bespoke semi-open kitchen designed by Mario Kortooms. The kitchen features an island with a natural stone countertop, and is equipped with oven, microwave, steam oven, wine climate cabinet, two refrigerators, freezer, extra-wide induction hob, extractor hood, and an integrated television. A utility room with two washing machines and two dryers completes the ground floor. Floor-to-ceiling sliding doors open the living room onto the southwest-facing terrace and water beyond.

A central patio serves as the architectural heart of the home, drawing natural light deep into the plan and connecting the living, working and entertaining spaces with quiet elegance.

The first floor is accessed via a generous staircase from the living area and leads to a large landing with a workspace and skylight. The master suite spans the full width of the rear of the property, featuring a walk-in dressing room and full-width windows fitted with external blackout shutters. A sliding door opens onto a roof terrace of approximately 32 square metres, extendable to 85 square metres, with uninterrupted panoramic views across the Diemerpark nature reserve. The en suite bathroom includes a freestanding bath, walk-in shower, double vanity and toilet, finished throughout in Moleanos natural stone with a pivot door. A second bedroom at the front of the property is served by its own natural stone bathroom with shower, toilet and vanity.

Throughout the home, solid French oak flooring runs underfoot, and floor-to-ceiling doors and cabinetry at 2.60 metres in height are present in all rooms. All kitchens, bathrooms and toilets are finished in gezoet Moleanos natural stone.

The southwest-facing waterside garden of approximately 64 square metres is terraced at ground floor level, creating a sheltered outdoor living space with open sightlines across the water. The symmetrical front garden mirrors the rear, reinforcing the connection between interior and exterior. Beyond the garden, an embankment area of approximately 40 square metres held under personal usage rights leads to open navigable water, suitable for swimming in summer and skating in winter. A private jetty provides mooring for one or two vessels and can serve as a floating terrace or swimming platform. The water is direct open water with no lock required to reach the Markermeer, offering direct water access to Amsterdam, Durgerdam and Muiden.

The property has been pre-approved for an upper-floor extension designed by architect Maxim Winkelaar, adding approximately 70 square metres of additional space suitable for extra bedrooms, a studio or a home office. Winkelaar remains available to oversee the full realisation of the extension.

The ground lease (erfpacht) has been permanently and perpetually bought off, meaning there are no ongoing erfpacht payments. The villa has an energy label A and is fully insulated. Additional features include UTP CAT5 cabling to all rooms, fibre broadband, Woven Washi blinds, a concealed air conditioning system, mechanical ventilation, and an alarm system. Two private parking spaces are available on the plot.

IJburg combines the character of a maritime village with full urban amenities. The Diemerpark nature reserve, comparable in scale to the Vondelpark, begins at the doorstep with running, cycling and skating trails, a beach and sports clubs. Amsterdam Centraal is accessible in under 15 minutes by tram on line 26. Schiphol Airport is approximately 20 minutes by car via the A10 ring road. The Haveneiland centre provides daily shopping, schools, international childcare and healthcare facilities. The area is well served by primary and secondary schools, and a variety of restaurants and cafes are located within the neighbourhood.
