Description
Westerdok 852, 1013 BV Amsterdam
This exclusive, unique penthouse is surrounded by water, flooded with natural light and boasts an innovative design. Split over the 10th and 11th floors, the penthouse’s height and location mean that it has panoramic views of Amsterdam’s canals, the Westelijke Eilanden, the port area, the IJ, the Centraal Station and the EYE
Prepare to be surprised by the penthouse’s impressive floor-to-ceiling windows on both sides; they flood it with light from sunrise until the evening. But also in the night the city offers a spectacular sight! The property’s large balcony is a unique place to sit back and enjoy the phenomenal views.
Location & accessibility
Westerdok is a popular location alongside the IJ in the centre of Amsterdam. The area consists of a mix of homes and businesses and is conveniently located for various amenities and highlights like the Jordaan, the Haarlemmerdijk, the Noordermarkt, the Centraal Station and the Westerpark.
The Haarlemmerdijk is a bustling street with a wide range of trendy shops, little boutiques, eateries and welcoming bars and cafés. The Jordaan is known for its cosy atmosphere and its good selection of restaurants and shops. Although the Westerdok is centrally situated, it is still well accessible from the A10 West, Oost and Noord ring roads, making it easier to travel to destinations like Rotterdam, The Hague, Utrecht, Amersfoort and Haarlem. The Central Station and its extensive metro and (international) train network are within walking distance. Schiphol is just 15 minutes away by both car and train.
Layout
Entrance & basement
In the apartment complex’s communal hall, you will find the penthouse’s buzzer and letter box and also a stairwell and lift. In the basement, a large garage box is available with space to park at least two cars. There is also separate storage space for bicycles and other items in the basement.
10th floor
The lift takes you to the 10th floor and opens just outside the entrance to the penthouse . You will find the property's meter cupboard and de wardrobe. Around the corner an extra useful storage space is situated. The living room and open-plan kitchen, which has a big cooking island, are on the left side of the apartment. The separate toilet room has a toilet and washbasin and is on the right as you enter the property. The living room enjoys beautiful views thanks to its many casement windows. However, the pièce de résistance is the unusual glazed point section. The beautifully-finished TV system in the middle of the penthouse creates a cosy but unobtrusive divide between the living and dining areas. The west-facing balcony is accessed via the living room and extends around the glazed point and along the east side, giving you maximum time to enjoy the sun. The balcony is very spacious and a unique place to sit back and enjoy the fantastic views. Especially in the summer you see plenty of small and large boats sailing by across both sides of the apartment. Moreover, throughout the whole year you can enjoy the illuminated skyline from the ports until the Zuidas.
Zuidas business district.
11th floor
An imposing staircase leads up to the upper floor. The open-plan mezzanine is currently being used as a study. Thanks to the windows on both sides, it is an incredibly-bright space with spectacular views. It would be easy to create an extra bedroom here. The penthouse’s current bedroom is accessed via the mezzanine and has its own walk-in wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom with a beautiful view of the Westelijke Eilanden. The en-suite bathroom has a big bath, a walk-in shower, double washbasin unit and a half-separate toilet room with a toilet and bidet. On the other side of the mezzanine, there is plenty of space to create another study or another extra bedroom. There is extra storage space here too and connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer.
