Bright Corner Apartment with Water Views on Java Island

This corner apartment is situated on the sixth floor of a well-maintained building on Java Island, part of Amsterdam's Eastern Docklands. The property benefits from a corner position that provides windows on multiple sides, allowing natural light to enter from various directions throughout the day. The apartment has a total living area of approximately 101 square meters, complemented by a south-facing terrace of about 8 square meters and a private storage space of 5 square meters in the basement.

The location on Sumatrakade places the apartment directly at the water's edge, offering views of the water and the IJ. Despite its peaceful setting, the property is conveniently close to the city center. Amsterdam Central Station can be reached by bicycle in approximately five minutes, making this an ideal location for those who work in or frequently visit the center of Amsterdam.

Java Island is known for its green layout, wide quays, and car-free character. The area primarily sees destination traffic, which contributes to a relaxed and quiet atmosphere along the water. Daily amenities are available within walking distance, with a variety of shops, specialty stores, and restaurants located on the opposite side of the water. The nearby neighborhoods of Amsterdam East and the Indische Buurt have seen significant development in recent years, bringing increasing vibrancy to the area.

Public transportation options are excellent. Tram 26 and bus services stop near the building, and the Piet Heintunnel provides quick access to the A10 ring road. The Jakarta Hotel is located in the immediate vicinity, which includes a bakery where residents can enjoy coffee or purchase fresh bread.

The apartment is accessed via an entrance on the ground floor, with both a lift and staircase leading to the sixth floor. Upon entering, residents are greeted by a long, neatly finished hallway that reflects the calm and well-maintained appearance of the entire apartment. All rooms are logically connected from this central hallway.

The living room and open kitchen form a generous living space that takes full advantage of the corner position. The windows on multiple sides, the width of the apartment, and the views in various directions create an open, light, and comfortable atmosphere. There is ample space for a comfortable seating area and a large dining table. The oiled wooden floor, the calm wall finish, and the long sightlines give the space a warm and well-maintained appearance.

A sliding door from the living room provides direct access to the terrace. The terrace faces south and offers views over the water and the Passenger Terminal. Thanks to its sheltered position, this is a pleasant place where residents can sit outside comfortably early in the season. From the dining area, there is also a pleasant view of the surroundings, with a wide view over the IJ through the side window.

The open kitchen seamlessly connects to the living area and features a sleek and contemporary design. The layout with a peninsula provides ample workspace and storage, making the kitchen an integral part of the living space. The kitchen is equipped with high-quality Siemens built-in appliances, including a wine climate cabinet, combi oven, dishwasher, Quooker, and induction cooktop. A brick wall gives the space character and forms an attractive contrast with the otherwise calm, modern finish.

The two bedrooms are pleasantly separated from the living area and both are well-sized, with large windows providing pleasant light. The master bedroom has a calm appearance and features a spacious built-in wardrobe wall. The second room is also spacious and can therefore be used as a bedroom, home office, or guest room.

From the hallway, the bathroom, separate toilet, and internal storage are also accessible. The bathroom is spacious and equipped with a vanity unit, wide mirror wall, walk-in shower, and radiator. The storage room has space for a washing machine and extra storage, which is practical for daily use.

In the basement, there is a separate storage room and a fixed parking space, both comfortably accessible by lift. At the rear of the building, there is a beautifully landscaped courtyard garden, exclusively for residents of building Hollandia, which contributes to the calm and green atmosphere of the complex.

The property is completely gas-free and connected to district heating. The wooden floor, the sleek finish of walls and ceilings, the custom-made cabinets, and the careful material choices together create an apartment that feels immediately comfortable, calm, and move-in ready.

The apartment has an energy label A+, indicating excellent energy efficiency. The building features HR glass and full insulation. Mechanical ventilation is present for optimal air quality. Solar panels are also installed on the building.

The VvE is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, collects periodic contributions, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan, and has building insurance.
