The apartment features two bedrooms, an internal storage room, a private parking space, and a balcony no less than 11 meters long with beautiful views. LAYOUT You can access the apartment on the second floor via stairs or the elevator in the shared stairwell. You enter into a spacious hallway that leads to all rooms. In the hallway, there’s a large built-in wardrobe with ample space for coats and shoes. At the end of the hallway is the living room with an open kitchen and a generous dining area. The entire apartment features high ceilings and the living room has recessed lighting (Philips Hue) and large windows, creating a sense of space and abundant natural light. The stylish kitchen is located at the street side and forms the heart of the home. The spacious kitchen island is a great spot for cooking, dining, or enjoying drinks with friends and family. Installed in January 2024, the kitchen is from the premium brand Clear Kitchen. It is equipped with a NEFF oven featuring the convenient Slide & Hide function. Other appliances include a dishwasher, a separate freezer, a large Siemens refrigerator, a BORA cooktop with integrated extractor, a ceramic sink, and a Quooker boiling water tap. The worktop is from Cosentino, made of Dekton, a luxurious and durable material. From the kitchen, you have access to the 17 m² balcony. This impressive 11-meter-long outdoor space offers beautiful views of the green street with diverse façades, the IJ river, the Pontsteiger building, and the NDSM wharf with its iconic crane. There’s plenty of room for multiple seating areas, with stylish wooden planters separating it from the neighbors, matching the design of the street. From mid-afternoon until sunset, you can enjoy the sun here: the perfect spot to unwind after a busy workday. At the rear of the living room, on the canal side, there is ample space for a cozy seating area with a view of the water. The large windows can be opened, creating a pleasant connection with the outdoors. Once the canal has been excavated, you will have an unobstructed view of the adjacent canal. Currently, you already enjoy a beautiful view of the historic Houthaven and the IJ, where you can watch the ferry pass by and regularly admire unique ships and pleasure boats. The neighboring island is scheduled for completion in the third or fourth quarter of this year, after which the canal will be excavated shortly thereafter. In the hallway, you’ll find the separate toilet, both bedrooms, and the luxuriously finished bathroom. The largest bedroom is located at the rear of the apartment and includes built-in wardrobes with a built-in desk and power outlet that can be used as a vanity or workspace. At the front of the home is the second bedroom, which feels bright and spacious thanks to the large window. The bathroom is of high quality and features built-in shower taps, a vanity unit with sink, an integrated faucet, natural stone accents, and a designer radiator. Additionally, there is a large storage room that houses the heat recovery system (WTW), with enough space for a washer and dryer. A separate toilet is also included in the apartment. PRIVATE PARKING SPACE The apartment comes with its own parking space in the underground garage, accessible directly via the elevator or stairs from the shared areas. There is also ample room in the garage to store bicycles. HIGH-END FINISHING Delivered in November 2023, the home has since been tastefully and thoughtfully styled. Smart and luxurious choices have been made in the finishes, including a cohesive color palette throughout the home, high-quality materials, and wooden elements that reference the Houthavens’ history. You can move in and immediately enjoy this comfortable and stylish living environment. SURROUNDINGS Everything on Libau-eiland reflects the character of the former timber warehouses: wooden façades, sloped roofs, and natural tones in grey and brown, a clear nod to the area’s history. These materials give the neighborhood a warm and peaceful atmosphere. The streets feel intimate but still offer wide views of the water and sky. Living on Libau Island combines small-scale charm with urban allure. In summer, residents can swim or paddleboard straight from the street, a unique feature in Amsterdam! The neighborhood is located about 2 kilometers from Amsterdam Central Station, between the Spaarndammerbuurt and the IJ. Within walking distance, you'll find the lively Spaarndammerstraat, Westerpark, and Haarlemmerdijk, all offering a wide range of shops, gyms, and dining options. In the neighborhood itself, there are also popular waterside spots like Restaurant Vessel, Brasserie George, and Ferry. With Westerpark and the Jordaan nearby, and the ferry to trendy Amsterdam North just around the corner, you’re well-connected to some of the city’s most dynamic areas, full of exciting events and great restaurants. SUSTAINABILITY Living on Libau-eiland means living sustainably. The apartments feature state-of-the-art technologies, including Triple A+ insulation, underfloor heating and cooling, ensuring optimal comfort year-round.
