Description
Bright and spacious 2-bedroom apartment (104 m²) with a sunny south-facing terrace, stunning views over the IJ, and a private parking space (INCLUDED)!
This well-designed split-level apartment is located in a quiet and highly sought-after area on KNSM-laan in the Eastern Docklands (Amsterdam East district). The property was modernized in several aspects approximately three years ago and is in move-in ready condition. The spacious kitchen-diner (renovated in 2023) forms the heart of the home and is fully equipped — ideal for cooking enthusiasts. Thanks to its smart layout, the apartment offers two full-sized bedrooms, with the possibility to create a third bedroom or a comfortable home office.
The sunny terrace of approximately 10 m² faces south, allowing you to enjoy sunshine and unobstructed views almost all day long.
The apartment is part of the well-maintained Diogenes complex (built around 1993), which includes an elevator. The active and financially healthy homeowners’ association (VvE) ensures a well-kept and up-to-date living environment. The property is excellently insulated (including double glazing and solid concrete construction), contributing to comfortable living and relatively low energy costs.
The location on KNSM Island offers the best of both worlds: a peaceful waterside setting with all amenities, restaurants, cafés, and excellent transport connections within easy reach.
In short: a spacious and modern waterfront apartment in a prime location, offering all contemporary comforts. Interested? Contact us today to schedule a viewing!
