High above the rooftops of Amsterdam Noord lies this exceptional penthouse at Elstarstraat 149. With a living area of 152 m² and a generous rooftop terrace of 28 m² offering breathtaking, unobstructed views towards the Pontsteiger and the IJ, this unique penthouse provides an unparalleled living experience in one of Amsterdam's most dynamic neighbourhoods. The open living space is bathed in light thanks to the large windows overlooking the city. The interior combines premium materials with a timeless design. The penthouse features a 70 m² living room, two elegant bathrooms, three spacious bedrooms and a generous south-facing rooftop terrace. Two conveniently located parking spaces in the underground garage complete the package. Layout: The two parking spaces in the ground floor garage provide easy and direct parking. By stairs or lift you reach the sixth and top floor, where you share the landing with just one other apartment, creating an exceptional sense of peace and privacy. The home welcomes you into a generous entrance hall with a sleek, custom-made wardrobe. Two elegant pivot doors with bronze glass lead you into the 70 m² living room. This corner space, facing south, features large windows on two sides and wide sliding doors that flood the room with natural light. The views are truly spectacular: to the south the IJ and the Pontsteiger, to the east the greenery of the park and the tranquil Zijkanaal. The living room flows seamlessly into a fully equipped SieMatic kitchen with a central island. The kitchen is fitted with two ovens, a Quooker, induction hob, dishwasher, wine climate cabinet, a tall fridge and a separate freezer. The built-in appliances are from SieMatic, Bora and Miele — brands synonymous with quality and culinary comfort. Through the sliding doors you step directly onto the spacious, sunny rooftop terrace, where the same sweeping views over the IJ and surroundings greet you time and again. On the east and north sides of the home you will find the three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms. The master bedroom, facing north, features a generously sized en-suite bathroom in hotel style, complete with a freestanding bath, a large walk-in shower and a custom-built wardrobe. From the bedrooms too you enjoy open views and a calm, private atmosphere. The second bathroom is finished in the same refined style and houses the washing machine connection. From the hallway there is also access to a storage cupboard and a stylish separate toilet with an elegant vanity unit. Surroundings: Elstarstraat is situated in the Bongerd, a peaceful and much-loved neighbourhood in Amsterdam Noord with a great mix of families and young couples, surrounded by water and greenery. The nearby ferry takes you swiftly and effortlessly across the IJ towards the city centre. In summer, the local jetties and harbour invite you to swim — the waterfront character gives the neighbourhood its open and relaxed atmosphere. For families the area is ideal: primary schools and childcare are within walking distance, and sports facilities are plentiful, from clubs to individual venues. Daily groceries are easily done at the local Plus supermarket, and bars and restaurants are never far away. The NDSM Wharf, just a short distance away, offers something to do year-round. For pizza, De Klaproos on Papaverweg is a local favourite, and the NDSM Wharf has a wide selection of restaurants and terraces. Transport links are excellent. The ferry towards Centraal Station or the Pontsteiger is within a few minutes by bike. By car you are quickly on the A10 ring road, and by bike you reach Noord metro station within fifteen minutes.
