Kaasjeskruidstraat 371032 LS AmsterdamBuiksloterham-Noord

Unique architect-designed family home by the park and water Some homes offer four walls and a roof. This home offers a way of life. Designed by an architect, this family home is not simply a place to live — it is a home to experience. You can see how it was designed and built. The spaces seem to unfold around you. Indoors and outdoors flow seamlessly into one another, while light, volume and carefully considered sightlines create surprises on every floor. Situated directly beside a park and with a swimming spot right outside your door, this home offers space, nature and freedom, while the city is always close at hand. With no fewer than four living levels, five bedrooms, three bathrooms, a garage, studio space and a spectacular top floor with panoramic views across Amsterdam, this is a truly unique home that also offers endless potential to evolve with the wishes of its future owners. The garden is an extension of the house. With a vegetable garden, several seating areas and a direct connection to the kitchen, the outdoors feels like an additional living space. A place for eating, playing, working and relaxing. As if the kitchen continues into the garden, and the garden flows back into the house. Layout Ground floor Through the lush front garden, you enter the heart of the home: the spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area. The kitchen is equipped with all the necessary built-in appliances and has been designed as a place for everyone to come together. A particularly charming feature is the built-in daybed — the perfect spot for reading, relaxing after dinner or simply enjoying being part of the action while someone is cooking. There is also a surprisingly spacious storage area beneath the daybed. Practicality was an important principle in the design of this approximately ten-year-old home, resulting in clever storage solutions throughout the property. This floor also features a spacious guest toilet and the generous garage. There is room for a car, a workbench for DIY projects and plenty of storage. First floor The open staircase leads to the first floor, where you will find the generous living room. A wonderfully bright living space with views of the greenery surrounding the property. Adjacent to the living room is a distinctive library, study or studio space. This room overlooks the kitchen and remains visually connected to it, creating a wonderful sense of height, space and cohesion. At the same time, it offers countless possibilities for working, creating, reading or playing. Second floor The second floor comprises four bedrooms. At the front of the house is an exceptionally spacious bedroom overlooking the park. Originally designed as two separate bedrooms, it can easily be divided again if desired. The large windows provide beautiful views of the surrounding greenery. At the rear are two further bedrooms, including one generous room and a slightly more compact room where a loft bed could easily be reinstated. This floor also features two bathrooms, with a separate toilet situated between them. Fourth living level: the icing on the cake And then there is the top floor. A unique space that is difficult to capture in a single word. Atelier, studio, guest accommodation, independent living space, master suite or inspiring home office — it could be all of these. The space is crowned by a freestanding bathtub and phenomenal views across Amsterdam. A place where sky, light and city come together. Here, you experience every day just how special this home really is. Location and surroundings Buiksloterham in Amsterdam-Noord is currently transforming from an industrial business district into a sustainable and circular urban neighbourhood focused on living and working. Residents, businesses, educational and knowledge institutions, and the Municipality of Amsterdam are working together on the development of the area. Particular attention is being paid to themes such as energy, efficient use of raw materials, reuse, climate resilience and sustainable mobility. Within this area, Kaasjeskruidstraat and the surrounding streets are particularly distinctive. Entrepreneurial residents have designed and built their own live-work homes here. The result is a unique, vibrant and social neighbourhood where ideas are freely exchanged and activities are shared. There is a jointly maintained park, residents swim in the canal directly outside their homes, and children play in the streets, building dens, boating and fishing. Spontaneous encounters with neighbours are simply part of everyday life. Nearby is the NDSM Wharf, a former shipyard that has been transformed into an inspiring creative district with artists' initiatives and innovative businesses. Several restaurants are within walking distance. The neighbourhood continues to develop, with a supermarket planned alongside many new homes and additional cafés and restaurants. Several primary schools are located nearby, and the ferry is so close that the connection is also convenient for secondary-school students. There are also several gyms in the area, including Gym Royale and Stretch & Fold, which features a rooftop swimming pool and sauna with beautiful views.
