Description
Unique and single-storey living in the picturesque "Vogeldorp" in Amsterdam-Noord! A farmhouse in the city, who wouldn't want that?!
This former village overseer's house is a rarity in Amsterdam and has been a protected cityscape since 2014. This 3/4-room house of approximately 63 m2 has been renovated while retaining its characteristic appearance and has been tastefully finished. The leasehold has been bought off in perpetuity!
This is a semi-detached house with a large sunny garden (43 m2) and a second outdoor terrace directly on the green communal courtyard. All of this is quietly located and within walking distance of both beautiful green areas and the hippest restaurants and hotspots on the IJ.
Layout
You enter the hall through the front door. Straight ahead is the bright open kitchen, equipped with an oven (Smeg), induction hob, extractor hood and dishwasher. To the left is the living room, with windows all around and a cozy wood stove from 2023. Cozy dining by a crackling fire!
In addition, there is a spacious room with patio doors to the garden. This room is currently used as a work and music room and offers the possibility to be used as a second bedroom.
To the right of the kitchen is another room that is currently used as a work room and utility room. This room offers access to the second outside: a cozy covered terrace.
The house also has a cozy spacious bedroom and a neat and spacious bathroom with shower, sink and connection for the washing machine (a bathtub can be placed here if necessary). There is a separate hanging toilet.
The spacious attic of approximately 40 m2 is accessible via two loft ladders on either side of the house: this covers a large part of the length of the house (approx. 13 meters) and offers a lot of storage space. In addition, the house is equipped with various built-in cupboards.
The garden of approximately 45 m2 is favorably situated in the sun and is sheltered, with plenty of greenery and privacy. There is a handy gate with double doors to the street.
On the other side of the house is the second outdoor space: a covered terrace (approx. 5.5 m2) directly on the shared green courtyard. This place offers peace, space and contact with the neighbourhood, ideal for coffee in the morning or a drink in the evening sun.
The surroundings
Vogeldorp is a protected cityscape: an oasis of peace and greenery in the bustling creative Amsterdam-Noord. You live here in a unique neighbourhood with a village character, while you are within walking distance of the ferry to Java Island, the Vliegenbos - the oldest city forest in Amsterdam - and the historic Nieuwendammerdijk with its picturesque dike houses.
For those who love nature and water: within a few minutes' walk you will find various places to swim and picnic, for example in the Noorderpark. From the terraces on the IJ you can enjoy a fantastic view of the skyline of Amsterdam-Centrum. You are also close to creative hotspots, the FC Hyena cinema, the North/South line and well-known eating and drinking spots such as Hotel de Goudfazant, Barracuda and the beach club De VerbroederIJ.

Location and roads
The house is surprisingly centrally located, with excellent connections to the rest of the city and beyond. Within three minutes you can walk to the IJ and take the ferry to Java Island or towards Amsterdam East.
Just a five-minute bike ride (or a short ten-minute walk) away is Noorderpark station, with the North/South line that takes you to Central Station or Rokin in a few minutes.
The accessibility by car is excellent: within a few minutes you are on the A10 and in no time you are in Amsterdam city center via the IJtunnel. And you get a traffic permit without waiting time.
First floor
The attic (bed) room with skylight and space with central heating boiler. This floor has extra space that is not officially included in the measurement report, but is very practical to use. This provides a lot of storage space.
Garden
The front gardens in the area are all lined with a hornbeam, which gives the neighborhood a rural character. Behind the house is Vogeldorp's largest communal courtyard, which is shared with only 3 other houses. It is wonderful to stay here.
