Spacious Apartment with Water Views and Roof Terrace in Amsterdam-Oost
Key Features
Description
Located at Zeeburgerdijk 17-3 in the Dapperbuurt-Noord district of Amsterdam, this apartment offers a residence with significant living space and characteristic features. The property encompasses approximately 114 square meters of living area spread across two floors within a building dating from the late 19th century. Positioned on the edge of Amsterdam East and the city center, the home provides views of the water and the iconic De Gooyer windmill. The apartment is situated on freehold land, meaning there is no ground lease, which is a notable aspect of property ownership in Amsterdam.
The apartment is accessible via the third floor of the building. The layout on this level is designed to separate the active living spaces from the more private sleeping areas located on the upper floor. Upon entering the hallway, residents have access to a separate guest toilet. This floor features underfloor heating in the hall and the toilet, enhancing comfort. The dining area is situated at the front of the building and flows into an open plan kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with modern built-in appliances and includes custom made solutions to optimize storage and functionality.
Adjacent to the kitchen and dining area is the living room, which is located at the rear of the property. This room is distinguished by large windows that frame a panoramic view over the water and the De Gooyer windmill. The natural light in this space is abundant. The living room retains original wooden beams and has a ceiling height of 2.70 meters, contributing to the atmosphere of the room. Also situated on the third floor is a utility room which currently serves as a walk in closet. This space includes connections for a washing machine and dryer, offering practical utility storage or the potential to be used as a multifunctional room depending on the needs of the resident.
An internal staircase leads from the third floor to the uppermost level. This top floor is characterized by its open and light filled environment. The ceiling height reaches up to 3.20 meters, and white wooden beams accentuate the original roof structure. Multiple windows and skylights ensure that this floor receives natural light throughout the day. The flooring on this level consists of knot free oak wood installed in a herringbone pattern.
The main bedroom is located at the front of this upper floor. It features access to a modern ensuite bathroom. The bathroom is fitted with a walk in shower, a bathtub, a washbasin, and a toilet. Adjacent to the main bedroom is a second open space. This area is currently flexible in its use and can function as a large home office or a guest bedroom. The layout allows for the possibility to split this space into two separate rooms, which could create a third bedroom or a dedicated studio and sleeping area. The bathroom on this floor also benefits from underfloor heating.
The apartment includes a sunny roof terrace. This outdoor space is sheltered and provides a high degree of privacy. From the terrace, occupants have views over the city, the water, and the historic windmill. The terrace serves as an extension of the living space, suitable for outdoor dining or relaxation.
The property underwent a comprehensive renovation in 2012. This renovation included the renewal of the roof, the installation of insulation, and updates to the electrical systems and plumbing. In 2023, a new central heating boiler was installed, which is a gas fired combi boiler for heating and hot water. Exterior painting work was completed in 2024, ensuring the building maintains its condition. The windows feature double glazing. The energy label for the property is D. The heating system is supported by underfloor heating in specific areas and radiators where necessary, alongside mechanical and natural ventilation systems.
The Homeowners Association, known as the VvE, is active and financially healthy. It is professionally managed. The VvE has a reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance in place. The monthly contribution for the VvE is 203.06 euros. The property ownership is full ownership, indicating that the land is owned outright rather than leased.
The location of Zeeburgerdijk offers a balance between urban activity and residential tranquility. The immediate neighborhood includes amenities such as the Brouwerij t IJ, various restaurants like Mooie Boules and Wilde Zwijnen, and the shopping street Czaar Peterstraat. Recreational areas are nearby, including Oosterpark and Flevopark. The Flevopark features an outdoor swimming pool, and the Marineterrein offers additional swimming locations and creative hospitality venues. The National Maritime Museum is also within reach.
For daily commuting and travel, the property is well connected. Tram line 7 stops directly in front of the building, with plans for it to be replaced by tram line 14 following the renovation of the Czaar Peterstraat in 2026. Muiderpoort train station is approximately a five minute bike ride away, and the city center can be reached by bike in about fifteen minutes. The ferry to Amsterdam North is accessible, as are routes towards IJburg and Durgerdam. The area is also known for the Dappermarkt and the Javaplein Vintage Market.
