ARCHITECTURAL LIVING ON THE BUITEN-IJ Spectacular architect-designed townhouse of approximately 204 m², situated on the highly desirable Zeeburgereiland and offering fantastic, unobstructed panoramic views across the Buiten-IJ. A home with a distinctive character, high-quality materials and an impressive sense of space. From the outside, the house has a strong yet understated appearance, while the interior is light, open and surprisingly spacious. Large windows have been carefully positioned within the design, framing the views like paintings. The interior has an open, loft-like feel. Concrete, timber and no less than 11,000 kilograms of steel form the foundation of the design. Robust materials are balanced by warmer elements, creating striking contrasts throughout. Flush, skirting-free finishes, exposed composite deck ceilings, cast-concrete staircases and timber-finished balustrades give the house its distinctive industrial and architectural character. The detached façade and open voids, combined with the open connections between the floors, create an exceptional sense of volume and beautiful sightlines throughout the home. At the front of the property, there is private parking for two cars. The green, sunny and sheltered rear garden enjoys a favourable south-west-facing position and offers plenty of privacy. With four bedrooms, the possibility of creating a fifth, and two bathrooms, the house provides ample space for a family, as well as plenty of room for working from home, exercising and relaxing. For the design of this self-build plot, the owners collaborated with ODC Architecture. The result is a completely bespoke townhouse in which considerable attention has been paid to the architecture, sightlines, natural light and choice of materials. Would you like to see more?

FIRST FLOOR The cast-concrete staircase is an architectural feature in its own right and leads to the living room. Here, the house opens up completely towards the Buiten-IJ. Full-width windows frame the view and provide an impressive panorama across the water and the passing ships. Thanks to the elevated position of the living room, the Buiten-IJ becomes an integral part of the living experience. The rooflight at the front extends down towards the living room, drawing daylight deep into the house and creating a fascinating interplay of light. Both this floor and the kitchen level feature underfloor heating. The wood-burning stove adds warmth and atmosphere, while the generous dimensions provide ample space for several seating areas. BEDROOM FLOOR This floor comprises three bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The bedroom at the front benefits from additional daylight via the rooflight on the floor above. The front-facing windows can be opened electrically on both this floor and the top floor. The other two bedrooms are situated at the rear. Centrally positioned on this level, the bathroom features a bathtub, generous walk-in shower and double washbasin vanity. Built-in cupboards beneath the staircase provide additional storage. TOP FLOOR The top floor was extended at the rear in 2022 and offers an exceptionally versatile space. It is currently arranged as a principal bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, attractive built-in wardrobes and a private south-west-facing terrace. At the front, part of the floor has been arranged as a home gym. Thanks to its generous proportions and flexible layout, this floor lends itself perfectly to a variety of uses, such as an additional bedroom, home office or a combination of the two. As a result, this architect-designed townhouse offers not only exceptional design and high-quality finishes, but also the flexibility to evolve with the changing needs of its residents. SURROUNDINGS Kea Boumanstraat, in the Sportheldenbuurt neighbourhood, is a wide and quiet street on Zeeburgereiland, within Amsterdam’s A10 ring road. Its waterfront setting provides exceptional panoramic views across the Buiten-IJ towards Schellingwoude, the Oranjesluizen locks and the rural landscape around Ransdorp. Ships pass directly in front of the house, while the green dyke lined with trees and reed beds is popular for walking and exercise. The neighbourhood also has a pleasant and sociable atmosphere, where children play outside and residents come together at events such as the annual neighbourhood barbecue. Zeeburgereiland combines a green, waterside setting with an urban character. The Urban Sportzone offers free sports facilities for hockey, football, basketball and padel, as well as the largest outdoor skatepark in the Netherlands. For everyday groceries, Albert Heijn is nearby, while Landmarkt is within cycling distance on the other side of the Schellingwoudebrug.
