At the Amstelzijde, directly at the waterfront, lies this characterful residence dating back to 1940. With a living area of approximately 160 m², spread over three floors plus a basement, the house offers a unique combination of historic charm and modern comfort. Large windows, a spacious garden with a private dock, and the possibility to adjust the layout to your own preferences make this a remarkable home in an exceptional location.

Layout

Through the entrance on the low-traffic street side, you enter the hallway with wardrobe space and separate guest toilet with washbasin. From here, you access the room at the front of the house, which enjoys abundant natural light thanks to tall windows. This versatile space is ideal as an office or practice room and also benefits from its own (second) entrance.

The generous living room spans the full width of the house and is distinguished by an elegant herringbone wooden floor and large windows with French doors to the garden. This provides the living room with abundant daylight and a stunning view over the rear garden and the Amstel.

Adjacent is the semi-open kitchen, executed in warm wood tones with a dark countertop, underfloor heating, and fitted with built-in appliances including a 5-burner gas stove, Quooker, combi-oven, dishwasher, and fridge-freezer. The kitchen also provides direct access to the garden.

The rear garden is beautifully landscaped with lush greenery and features a private jetty on the Amstel. Here you can enjoy the peaceful setting and the unobstructed water views. The garden is also accessible via a private side entrance next to the house.

Beneath the house lies a practical basement of approx. 11 m² with a ceiling height of nearly two meters. Perfect as a wine cellar, pantry, or additional storage, the built-in shelves and cupboards make it highly functional.

First Floor

The spacious landing gives access to three bedrooms and the bathroom. The master bedroom is located at the rear and features double French doors opening onto a large balcony of approx. 17 m² with breathtaking views over the Amstel. The room is generously sized and finished with a beautiful wooden floor.

At the front are two well-proportioned bedrooms, one currently used as a walk-in wardrobe. Thanks to their built-in storage and practical layout, these rooms can easily serve as guest rooms or workspaces.

The bathroom is fitted with a walk-in shower, double washbasin with wooden cabinet, and a second toilet. A window provides natural daylight and ventilation. The bathroom also features underfloor heating.

Second Floor

The top floor is an open space with a high ridge (over 3 meters) and large skylights and dormers, creating a bright and airy atmosphere. A second modern bathroom is located here, equipped with a walk-in shower, washbasin cabinet, underfloor heating, and a third toilet. This level also benefits from air conditioning, offering year-round comfort. The authentic exposed beams combined with modern finishes give the space a distinctive character. If desired, this floor can easily be divided into two separate bedrooms.
