Vechtstraat 179-21079 JJ AmsterdamRijnbuurt-Oost

Characteristic double upper floor apartment with balcony and rooftop terrace in the heart of the Rivierenbuurt! Situated on a quiet and charming street in the highly desirable Rivierenbuurt, this unique double upper-level apartment of approximately 97 m² is spread across two full residential floors. A home that can be comfortably enjoyed in its current form, while simultaneously offering a rare opportunity to create a spectacular penthouse in one of Amsterdam’s most sought-after locations. The current layout offers the possibility to use both floors independently, each with its own living room, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom. This provides exceptional flexibility for a variety of living arrangements. At the same time, the true strength of this property lies in its future potential. With a sunny roof terrace of approximately 30 m², a balcony adjoining the entire width of the living floor, and the possibility to enlarge the upper level, this property presents a unique opportunity to create a spacious and contemporary double upper house. The accompanying artist impressions provide an indication of what could be achieved: a light-filled penthouse level featuring an open-plan kitchen, generous living space, and large sliding doors opening onto a roof terrace, combined with a full residential floor offering multiple bedrooms, bathrooms, and a home office. The Owners’ Association (VvE) has already indicated that it is open to discussions regarding potential future extension possibilities, including an extension and/or the addition of an extra floor, naturally subject to the required permits, structural feasibility, and the submission of concrete plans. Any future development remains subject to the applicable regulations and approval procedures of the Municipality of Amsterdam. A rare combination of space, outdoor living, and development potential in a location where opportunities of this nature seldom become available.
