# Rookmelderstraat 8, Amsterdam **Exceptionally cleverly designed studio apartment with green views on the sought-after Cruquius Island!** Situated in a beautiful location on Cruquius Island, this move-in-ready, exceptionally well-designed studio apartment offers approximately 36 m² of living space. Located on the first floor of a modern residential complex built in 2021, the apartment combines high-quality finishes with an abundance of natural light, comfort and thoughtfully designed bespoke interiors. The floor-to-ceiling windows offer lovely views over the landscaped communal gardens. Thanks to the custom-built cabinetry, the charming and secluded sleeping alcove and the clever layout, every square metre has been put to excellent use.

This former industrial peninsula has been transformed into a distinctive residential neighbourhood. Historic warehouses, former wine silos and characteristic industrial buildings create a striking contrast with contemporary architecture and modern residential developments. Creative hotspots, welcoming cafés and restaurants, and the surrounding water give the area its own unique character. The waterfront is literally just around the corner, offering plenty of opportunities for swimming, boating and stand-up paddleboarding. Nearby Flevopark is another wonderful place to relax, featuring an outdoor swimming pool, sports fields, tennis courts, a botanical garden and the charming terrace of 't Nieuwe Diep distillery. The neighbourhood itself offers a variety of cafés and restaurants. For everyday shopping and other amenities, the nearby Eastern Docklands and Indische Buurt provide plenty of options. Accessibility is excellent, whether by bicycle, public transport or car. Amsterdam city centre is within easy reach, while the Piet Hein Tunnel provides quick access to the A10 ring road and major motorways. Paid on-street parking is available directly outside the building (currently €5.35 per hour). Residents can apply for a parking permit, for which there is currently no waiting list. The complex also has an underground parking garage, where parking spaces may occasionally be available to rent or purchase, subject to availability. ## Layout The well-maintained communal entrance provides access to the first floor by lift or staircase. The apartment opens into a hallway leading to the modern bathroom, which features a spacious walk-in shower with rainfall showerhead, washbasin with vanity unit, designer radiator and toilet. A practical utility cupboard provides space for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The bright living area immediately stands out thanks to its tall windows and unobstructed views over the beautifully landscaped communal gardens. The sleek, seamless resin floor with comfortable underfloor heating gives the interior a calm, contemporary feel. The modern open-plan kitchen is equipped with integrated Bosch appliances, including a four-zone induction hob, dishwasher and refrigerator. What truly sets this design studio apart is its bespoke interior. The cleverly designed built-in cabinets provide an impressive amount of storage for kitchenware, coats, clothing and other belongings, without compromising the living space. A particularly attractive feature is the beautifully integrated sleeping alcove. This cosy, secluded sleeping area offers privacy and creates a clear distinction between the living and sleeping spaces. Additional storage has also been incorporated here. It is a clever solution that makes the apartment feel surprisingly spacious and comfortable. A private storage room of approximately 3 m², complete with electricity, is located directly off the communal corridor on the same floor. The apartment also benefits from two designated bicycle parking spaces in the communal bicycle storage area. ## Sustainability Built in 2021, the apartment was designed with a strong focus on comfort and energy efficiency. Thanks to its excellent insulation, HR++ double glazing, underfloor heating and energy-efficient installations, the property has an A+ energy rating.
