Nieuwendammerdijk 248-B1025 LW AmsterdamNieuwendammerdijk-West

Unique loft in a historic warehouse on the beloved Nieuwendammerdijk! Would you like to live in a former grain warehouse on one of Amsterdam’s most beautiful dykes? This exceptional 162 m² loft apartment in the Insulinde residential warehouse combines history, character and modern living comfort, featuring a private parking space, jetty and a communal roof terrace. Moreover, the entire property is located on FREEHOLD LAND. History and character The impressive Insulinde warehouse dates back to 1886 and originally served as a grain storage facility. In 1988, it was completely renovated and transformed into spacious, comfortable loft apartments, while retaining its charming original features such as wooden beams and semi-circular windows. In 2017, this apartment was further renovated under architectural design, offering the perfect balance between history and contemporary style. Layout Through the communal entrance with glass doors and a wide spiral staircase, you reach the apartment, slightly elevated at dyke level. Upon entering, the open structure of the loft immediately stands out: a bright living space with a central cube construction that houses ample storage and the bedrooms. The hallway includes a cloakroom and three large built-in storage cupboards. The open kitchen is centrally located and custom-made, featuring a large cooking island with sink, five-burner gas stove and dishwasher. The bar provides a pleasant spot for breakfast or a drink. The high back wall accommodates the built-in combi oven and fridge-freezer, with generous cupboard space beside them. Adjacent to the kitchen is a pantry. The living room has large windows on all sides and a beautiful oak herringbone floor. The exposed beams, abundance of light and open layout create a warm and inviting atmosphere. There are currently two bedrooms, but the open structure easily allows for the creation of additional rooms if desired. Bedrooms and bathrooms The two bedrooms are located on the side of the apartment, each with large windows and its own bathroom finished with hand-crafted Portuguese tiles. The master bedroom is very spacious and features a built-in wardrobe with louvre doors and a freestanding bathtub. The adjoining semi-open bathroom (renovated in 2017) beautifully reflects the industrial character of the warehouse, with steel frames, Portuguese tiles, a double washbasin with built-in taps, a large walk-in shower and a second toilet. The second bedroom includes a bathroom with a walk-in shower and washbasin. Outdoor space and facilities On the top floor, there is a spacious communal roof terrace where you can enjoy the sun in comfort and privacy. At the rear of the warehouse is a south-facing jetty with a dining table and swimming ladder, where residents can enjoy the sun until late in the evening. Here, you can take a refreshing swim or moor your own boat. In the basement, you will find a communal bicycle storage area and a private storage room. Next to the building, there is a private parking space — a valuable advantage on the Nieuwendammerdijk, where parking is limited. Surroundings The Nieuwendammerdijk is a unique and sought-after residential area with a rich history and an almost village-like atmosphere. The characteristic houses, the water and the friendly community make it a special place to come home to. Within walking distance, you will find Café ’t Sluisje with its terrace on the water, the Vliegenbos with the Elzenhagen tennis club, the Rieteiland and the lively Noorderpark — perfect for walking, sports, relaxation or meeting friends. The neighbourhood also offers shops, schools, gyms and plenty of great places to eat and drink, from cosy cafés to modern restaurants and even a cinema. Amsterdam-Noord truly offers the best of both worlds: the tranquillity of nature and the proximity of the city.

The artwork, once gifted to the Cleyndert family — the grain merchants who commissioned the building in 1886 — depicts a grain mill along the Nieuwendammer Ringsloot. After a century of wandering, the tableau was donated by descendants of the family to the current residents. It now hangs proudly in the entrance hall of the building as a tribute to Insulinde’s rich history. In conclusion This is a home you truly have to experience to appreciate. The combination of space, history and character makes this loft apartment truly one of a kind — a special place for those who love atmosphere, water and a sense of freedom, right in the heart of Amsterdam-Noord.
