Description
Comfortable, energy-efficient, and exceptionally well-designed apartment of approximately 65 m² (GFA 72 m²) in a unique location where tranquility, water, space, and the vibrant energy of Amsterdam come together perfectly.
Situated in the highly sought-after Eastern Docklands (Oostelijk Havengebied), this beautifully laid-out apartment offers approximately 65 m² of living space (NEN 2580) and approximately 72 m² of gross floor area. The property features two full-sized bedrooms, a pleasant covered balcony (loggia), an excellent A+ energy rating, and stunning unobstructed views over the canal. In addition, the perpetual leasehold has already been secured under the most favourable terms, providing long-term certainty and financial clarity.
LAYOUT:
Located on the first floor, the apartment immediately impresses with its practical and efficient layout. The entrance hall provides access to all rooms.
The bright living room, situated at the rear of the building, forms the heart of the apartment. Large windows flood the space with natural light while offering beautiful views over the canal. From the living room, you step directly onto the covered balcony (loggia), where you can enjoy the peaceful waterside setting and lively surroundings. The open-plan kitchen seamlessly connects to the living area and offers ample space for cooking and entertaining.
At the front of the apartment are two generously proportioned bedrooms, making the property ideal for a couple, a small family, those working from home, or as a pied-à-terre. The centrally located bathroom is practically designed and features a walk-in shower and vanity unit. There is also a separate toilet and an internal storage/laundry room with connections for a washing machine. In addition, a spacious private storage unit is located on the ground floor.
COMFORT & SUSTAINABILITY:
In 2025, the window frames were replaced with low-maintenance uPVC frames fitted with high-performance HR++ double glazing. Combined with the excellent A+ energy label, this results in a comfortable home with low energy consumption and a pleasant indoor climate throughout the year.
LIVING BY THE WATER:
The location on Scheepstimmermanstraat is truly exceptional. Both the living room and the balcony overlook the canal, creating a peaceful yet vibrant atmosphere. Every day, boats, paddleboarders, and canoeists pass by, bringing the waterfront to life. On sunny days, the neighbourhood transforms into a lively waterside retreat where residents fully embrace Amsterdam's unique waterside lifestyle. Here, the water is an integral part of everyday living.
LOCATION:
Scheepstimmermanstraat is located in the popular Eastern Docklands, one of Amsterdam's most successful urban redevelopment areas. Once home to shipyards, warehouses, and harbour activities, the district has evolved into a spacious and contemporary residential neighbourhood where striking architecture, open water, and high-quality living blend harmoniously. The area is renowned for its modern architecture, wide quays, numerous bridges, and relaxed atmosphere. The abundance of water creates an openness that is rare within Amsterdam. A wide range of amenities can be found within walking distance, including supermarkets, specialty shops, cafés, restaurants, coffee bars, and terraces. Sports facilities, primary schools, childcare centres, and healthcare services are all nearby. For recreation, residents can easily reach Flevopark, the Marineterrein, the IJ waterfront, and several other green and leisure areas. Amsterdam's vibrant city centre is just a few minutes away by bicycle. Accessibility is excellent. Several tram and bus connections are within walking distance, while Amsterdam Muiderpoort Station and Amsterdam Central Station are easily reached. By car, the Piet Hein Tunnel provides quick access to the A10 Ring Road, ensuring excellent connections to the rest of the Randstad.
LEASEHOLD:
The current leasehold period has been prepaid until October 2047. Furthermore, the transition to the perpetual leasehold system has already been legally executed under the most favourable conditions available at the time. This secures the future leasehold arrangements for the long term and provides valuable financial certainty.
HOMEOWNERS' ASSOCIATION (VvE):
The Homeowners' Association (VvE) consists of four members and is professionally managed by Parel VvE Beheer. It is an active and well-maintained association. The monthly service charge amounts to €125.63. A long-term maintenance plan (MJOP), annual financial statements, annual budget, and registration with the Dutch Chamber of Commerce are all in place.
