Fully Renovated Apartment with Spectacular IJ Water Views in Amsterdam's Oostelijk Havengebied
Key Features
Description
This fully renovated apartment is situated at Veembroederhof 35 C in Amsterdam, offering approximately 56 square meters of living space with a direct waterside location. The property provides a combination of tranquility, natural light, and modern comfort in the highly sought-after Oostelijk Havengebied neighborhood.
The most distinctive feature of this apartment is the fully glazed front facade, which creates a spectacular and unobstructed view over the water and the IJ. The living area benefits from an abundance of daylight, while the open-plan kitchen integrates seamlessly into this space. The windows can be fully opened using a concertina system, allowing the interior and exterior to merge on warmer days.
The apartment is part of the building named Katoen, a modern complex completed in 2006 as part of the De Loodsen development project. The building occupies a prominent position along the IJ harbor waters, providing residents with broad, open views of the water, the Jan Schaeferbrug bridge, and the nearby Java Island. The complex includes practical amenities such as two elevators, an underground parking garage, a bicycle storage facility, and a collective heating installation.
The Oostelijk Havengebied has developed over recent years into one of Amsterdam's most dynamic and attractive residential and working districts. Residents enjoy a quiet, water-rich environment while maintaining a distinctly urban character. The location is surprisingly central: cycling to Amsterdam Central Station takes approximately five minutes, reaching the city center takes around seven minutes, and the Pijp neighborhood is accessible within thirteen minutes by bike. Public transportation options are excellent with tram 26 and bus 43 located practically at the doorstep, and the A10 ring road is nearby for car travel.
The immediate surroundings offer a pleasant mix of tranquility, culture, and city life. The quayside and waterfront promenade provide enjoyable walking and cycling routes with views of the harbor and passing boats. For daily shopping needs, the Brazilië shopping center is within walking distance, containing supermarkets, specialty shops, and various dining establishments. Popular local venues such as Hannekes Boom, Anne & Max at the Oosterdok, and De Kompaszaal in the Lloyd Hotel are well-regarded addresses in the area.
Cultural facilities are also well represented in the vicinity. Pakhuis De Zwijger, the Maritime Museum, and the Bimhuis music venue are all close by, as are the Public Library, the Conservatory, and NEMO science museum. The center of Amsterdam with its numerous restaurants, cafes, and cultural hotspots can be reached within minutes.
The renovation of this apartment was executed with attention to comfort and refinement. The finishing features subtly integrated recessed spotlights, marble details, warm natural tones, and elegant copper accents. The result is a welcoming, move-in-ready residence with a beautiful free view over the water.
Access to the apartment is via a communal entrance, reached by elevator or stairs to the first floor. The entrance hall is spacious and elongated, offering sufficient space for a coat closet. On the right side are the meter cupboard, a separate toilet, and a practical closet with connections for a washing machine or dryer. At the end of the hall, the view of the water immediately draws attention and serves as an inviting focal point.
The hall opens into the living and dining area. An impressive glass facade spanning the full width of the front ensures abundant daylight and reinforces the open character of the residence. The view over the water and the IJ gives the space a serene and spacious atmosphere.
The open kitchen forms a natural part of this living space. The kitchen is equipped with all desired built-in appliances, including an induction cooktop with integrated extraction, a Quooker boiling water tap, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, and a combination oven.
The bedroom is located on the quiet rear side of the apartment and is generously proportioned. The high windows create a light and pleasant atmosphere, and even from this room there are views of the quay and water. The en-suite bathroom is modernly and stylishly furnished with a walk-in shower, a vanity unit, and luxury copper built-in faucets.
The apartment also has a separate storage room in the basement, ideal for additional storage space.
Technical specifications include an energy label A+, indicating good energy efficiency. Heating is provided through floor heating throughout the property, supplemented by a heat recovery installation. The building features balanced ventilation and mechanical ventilation systems. A TV cable connection is available.
The property is held on leasehold ground (erfpacht), which has been prepaid until January 31, 2053. The monthly VvE service costs are approximately 152 euros, with an additional advance for heating costs of around 46 euros per month. The Owners Association is properly registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, maintains a reserve fund, has a maintenance plan in place, and has arranged building insurance.
Parking is available in the underground garage of the complex, though this is not included with the apartment. Public parking in the area is paid parking. The apartment is delivered in consultation with the seller, subject to the division of the property being formalized.
