Unique Design Loft at the IJ Harbour – Character, Space and Architecture What a location. What a space. What an extraordinary apartment! Welcome to this unique design loft of approximately 118 m², situated in the distinctive former warehouse _Australië_, overlooking the IJ harbour in Amsterdam’s Eastern Docklands. This exceptional home combines industrial heritage, contemporary design and modern living comfort, all just a 10-minute cycle ride from Amsterdam Central Station. Dating back to around 1895, the original warehouse was completely redeveloped in 2006 under the architectural direction of renowned firm DKV Architecten, transforming it into a high-quality residential complex. Historic features, including the impressive façade and cast-iron columns, were carefully preserved or reconstructed. Inside the apartment itself, original character is reflected in details such as the beautiful brickwork. The striking combination of historic architecture and modern construction was recognised with the Dutch Concrete Award (Nederlandse Betonprijs) for its unique design. A True Loft From the moment you step inside, you are struck by the exceptional sense of space. The apartment has the signature open-plan layout of a true loft, featuring high ceilings of approximately 2.67 metres, a generous living area, a separate sleeping area and a practical home office. Large French doors flood the interior with natural light and open directly onto the spacious south-facing balcony. Thanks to its sunny southerly aspect, this is the perfect spot to relax, soak up the sun and enjoy outdoor living. The generous living room offers ample space for a comfortable lounge area and a large dining table. The open-plan kitchen forms a natural extension of the living space, featuring a stylish island and high-end appliances, including a steam oven, an additional oven, a teppanyaki grill, a large American-style fridge-freezer and a dishwasher. The master bedroom features a generous built-in wardrobe wall. In addition, a separate home office provides an ideal workspace for working from home or a versatile extra room. The beautifully appointed bathroom is finished to a high standard and features a bathtub, a spacious walk-in shower and a vanity unit. Solid wood flooring in the kitchen area adds warmth and timeless appeal to the interior. Comfortable Living in an Exceptional Building In addition to its generous living space, the apartment benefits from a well-appointed utility and laundry room, as well as a separate storage unit on the basement level. The building has two lifts, and the apartment is accessible without any internal stairs, offering convenience and ease of access at every stage of life. A private parking space in the underground car park is also included – a significant advantage in this sought-after Amsterdam location. Living in Amsterdam’s Eastern Docklands The location offers the perfect balance between the peace and open spaces of the Eastern Docklands and the vibrant energy of the city. Within walking distance are Brazil shopping centre and the charming Czaar Peterstraat, known for its independent shops, trendy boutiques and inviting cafés and restaurants. In summer, enjoy a refreshing swim at the nearby Marineterrein. Just a few minutes away, across the water, Hotel Jakarta is the perfect place for a leisurely lunch or a cocktail in its spectacular sky bar.
