Spectacular penthouse with panoramic waterfront views - an energy-efficient home in one of Amsterdams new residential areas in the vibrant Amsterdam-Noord.
Waterfront living with an international feel. This spectacular penthouse, which occupies the entire sixth and top floor of the architectural complex The Doors, offers a modern high-end living experience. With glass all around, two spacious balconies totalling 56 square metres, a panoramic view with in front the Tolhuiskanaal and the IJ to the side, this home offers a sanctuary in the city.
There's an elevator to the apartment and it comes with one parking spot in the indoor secured neigbourhood garage.
Unique in design and finish the penthouse was delivered to the first owner four years ago and has been meticulously finished and maintained. The design is by renowned architects Space Encounters and exudes symmetry, openness and surprising sight lines. The 2.8 metre high ceilings and full height wooden doors create a sense of space and light at any time of the day.
The layout is extremely functional and versatile at the same time. With two entrances from the private hallway (no neighbours), the apartment is ideal for a combination of living and working, guest accommodation or an independent space for an au pair or older child.
The spacious living area - with water views - extends along the south, east and west elevations. Here is the bespoke kitchen (with ceramic worktop and cooking island) equipped with the latest energy efficient appliances (A++/A+++). A stylish circular kitchen that is both aesthetically pleasing and functional.
On the cool north side is the master bedroom with a luxurious en-suite bathroom and separate dressing room. There is also a second bedroom with en-suite bathroom and two multifunctional rooms that can be used as a study, gym or guest room. There is also a spacious utility room with space for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
The Doors - cool, stylish and sustainable The Doors is a small, characterful building with only 12 apartments, designed by Gouden Piramide winner Edwin Oostmeijer. It combines an industrial look with refined living quality and is part of the circular Buiksloterham&Co. Materials are reusable, energy is partly generated by solar panels and rainwater is cleverly collected in the communal gardens.
The communal entrance is an architectural statement in itself, with a striking mural by Danish artist Frederik Naeblerød, a concrete spiral staircase with a skylight and plants.
Up-and-coming Amsterdam-Noord Amsterdam-Noord is fast becoming one of the most sought-after residential areas in the city. The creative atmosphere of Buiksloterham, the proximity to hotspots such as A'DAM Tower and the NDSM site, and the unique combination of tranquillity, space and urban energy make this a top location. The neighbourhood has come to life in recent years and hotspots of all kinds are just a stone's throw away: Gymlokaal Noord (gym), Good Place (café), Pelusa (street café), Bacalar (restaurant), Metro (restaurant). There are also supermarkets, a health centre (with a doctor's and dentist's surgery), childcare facilities and schools nearby.
A recent addition to the neighbourhood is the Distelweg ferry, just a minute's bike ride away, which now operates at weekends. This has made the connection to the centre of Amsterdam even more accessible.
