LUXURY AND BRIGHT PENTHOUSE OF APPROX. 166 M² WITH BALCONY, LARGE ROOF TERRACE, ENERGY LABEL A AND PARKING SPACE IN AMSTERDAM
A spectacular bright and spacious penthouse of approx. 166 m², beautifully situated on a corner location with unobstructed views over Amsterdam. This modern, luxury apartment was built in 2005 in a contemporary loft style and was recently fully renovated by an architect, finished with high-end materials.
Thanks to the unique corner position and the floor-to-ceiling windows, the apartment enjoys natural sunlight throughout the entire day. From the living room, the sunset over the Amsterdam skyline is truly breathtaking.
The apartment is spread across two floors and features a sunny balcony (approx. 7 m², south-facing) and a spacious roof terrace of approx. 36 m² facing southwest. It is located in the award-winning residential complex "De Borneodriehoek" (2005) and comes with energy label A, a private parking space with EV charger in the garage, external storage and elevator access.
The seller bought out the leasehold in perpetuity in 2022. This means the buyer will never have to pay any ground lease fees again.

Fourth floor
The modern entrance with automatic doors provides access to the elevator and stairwell. On the fourth floor you enter the apartment.
Entrance/hallway: The spacious hallway is finished with a stylish concrete-look cast floor and leads to two bedrooms with custom-built wardrobes and wooden floors. The modern bathroom features a walk-in shower, sink and underfloor heating. There is also a separate utility room with a recently renewed heat recovery ventilation system (2023), the central heating system and a separate toilet.
Living room: At the end of the hallway you enter the living room. The large floor-to-ceiling windows allow natural sunlight to flood in all day long, with stunning unobstructed views over Amsterdam. The sunny balcony (7 m², south-facing) and the double-height void create an immediate sense of luxury, light and space. The layout is unique by Amsterdam standards and offers exceptional comfort.
The living room is equipped with air conditioning (heating and cooling), built-in ceiling speakers and Modular spotlights.
Kitchen: The luxury kitchen was restyled by the seller and features a kitchen island, steam oven, oven, built-in coffee machine, Quooker (instant boiling water tap), dishwasher, refrigerator and ceiling-mounted extractor.
The custom-made steel staircase with glass balustrade connects the two living floors and enhances the loft feel.
Fifth floor
Office/second living area/extra bedrooms: The upper floor is currently set up as an office and second living area, equipped with air conditioning. This open space feels spacious and light thanks to the void and can be converted into one or even two additional bedrooms if desired. This room also features the stylish concrete-look cast floor.
Master bedroom: The generous master bedroom features a wooden floor, a large built-in wardrobe with integrated air conditioning and a luxurious en-suite bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, walk-in shower, toilet, underfloor heating and a vanity unit with Moab washbasin. From the master bedroom there are stunning unobstructed views over Amsterdam.
Roof terrace: The double French doors on the fifth floor lead to the spacious roof terrace of approx. 36 m², facing southwest. The sustainable planters and sheltered position make this a wonderful spot to relax in privacy and sunshine. In 2025, the homeowners' association (VvE) granted permission for an extension on
the roof terrace. This confirms that expansion possibilities on the roof terrace are realistic.
Parking
The building includes a spacious private parking space, equipped with a private EV charging station. The parking space offers enough space for a car and a motorcycle.
A second parking space is optionally available for € 50,000. This parking space was separately purchased by the seller and also offers room for a car and motorcycle.

Measurement Clause
The usable area has been calculated in accordance with the industry-standard NEN 2580 standard. Therefore, the area may differ from comparable properties and/or previous references. This is primarily due to this (new) calculation method. The buyer declares that they are sufficiently informed about the aforementioned standard. The seller and their agent will make every effort to calculate the correct area and volume based on their own measurements and will support this as much as possible by providing floor plans with dimensions. Should the dimensions unexpectedly not be (fully) in accordance with the standard, the buyer accepts this. The buyer has been given ample opportunity to verify the dimensions themselves (or have them verified). Differences in the stated dimensions and size do not entitle either party to any right, including an adjustment of the purchase price. The seller and their agent accept no liability in this regard.
