LUXURY AND BRIGHT PENTHOUSE OF APPROX. 166 M² WITH BALCONY, LARGE ROOF TERRACE AND TWO PARKING SPACES IN AMSTERDAM
UNIQUE! A spectacularly bright and spacious penthouse of approximately 166 m², recently built in 2005 in a modern loft style and beautifully situated on a corner with unobstructed views of Amsterdam. This modern, luxurious apartment features floor-to-ceiling windows that provide natural light all day long, offering stunning sunset views over the city.
The apartment is spread over two floors and features a sunny balcony and a spacious roof terrace of approximately 36 m². Tastefully renovated in 2018 by an architect, the apartment is located in a modern new-build complex ("de Borneodriehoek" (2005)) and has an energy label A, two private parking spaces in the garage, an external storage unit, and an elevator!
The seller bought out the leasehold in perpetuity in 2022.
The "Borneodriehoek" apartment complex, designed by the Zeinstra and Van der Pol studio, received the Zuiderkerk Prize, Amsterdam's incentive award for the most innovative housing project.
Layout
Fourth floor
The modern entrance with automatic doors provides access to the elevator and the stairwell. The apartment is located on the fourth floor.
Entrance: The spacious hallway leads to two bedrooms with custom-made wardrobes and wooden floors. The modern bathroom features a walk-in shower, sink, and underfloor heating. There is also a separate laundry room with a recently renewed mechanical ventilation system with heat recovery from 2023, the central heating system, and a separate toilet.
The hallway and living room are finished with a stylish concrete-look cast floor. At the end of the hallway, you enter the living room with its large windows, south-facing balcony (7 m²), and void. Upon entering, you are greeted by a feeling of luxury, light, and space.
The layout is unique by Amsterdam standards and offers exceptional comfort. This also applies to the luxury kitchen, which features a cooking island, steam oven, oven, built-in coffee maker, Quooker, dishwasher, refrigerator, and extractor hood in the ceiling. The kitchen was restyled in 2021. The living room features air conditioning that cools and heats, built-in ceiling speakers, and modular spotlights. The custom-made steel staircase with a glass balustrade connects the two floors and enhances the loft feel.
Fifth Floor
The upper floor is currently set up as an office and second living area and is equipped with air conditioning. This open-plan space feels spacious and bright thanks to the void and can be converted into one or even two additional bedrooms if desired. This space also features a stylish concrete-look floor.
The space flows into the spacious master bedroom with wooden flooring, a large built-in wardrobe with integrated air conditioning, and a luxurious ensuite bathroom with a freestanding bathtub, walk-in shower, toilet, underfloor heating, and a vanity with a Moab sink. From the master bedroom you enjoy beautiful unobstructed views over Amsterdam.
The double doors on the fifth floor lead to the spacious southwest-facing roof terrace of approximately 36 m². The sustainable planters and the sheltered location make this a wonderful place to relax in privacy and sunshine. The homeowners' association recently granted permission for an extension on the roof terrace in 2025, confirming that expansion possibilities on the roof terrace are realistic.
Two spacious parking spaces are available in the underground garage. The second parking space was purchased by the seller in 2022 and was not part of the original purchase. One of the parking spaces is equipped with a private charging point. Both offer sufficient space for a car and a motorcycle.
Location and Surroundings:
The house is located in the Indische Buurt neighborhood of the popular Oost district, just a few minutes by bike from the city centre and De Pijp. This vibrant neighborhood offers everything within easy reach.
