Leeuwarderweg 481025 RW AmsterdamNieuwendammerdijk-West

Characterful dike house offering 133 m² of living space, four bedrooms, two bathrooms, a spacious terrace and a rear garden, all situated on freehold land. A charming and surprisingly spacious traditional dike house in a lovely location in Amsterdam-Noord. Its distinctive character, setting on Leeuwarderweg and interesting layout make this a different type of home from what you would normally find in the area. With 133 m² of living space, a 16 m² terrace directly accessible from the living room and kitchen, and a 30 m² rear garden, the property offers considerably more space than you might expect from the outside. The front of the house is equally inviting. The wide pavement along Leeuwarderweg is a popular spot for residents to sit outside and, on sunny days, becomes an extension of the home. The property has an attractive and interesting layout, with a bright living floor at dike level, a spacious lower ground floor with direct access to the garden, and three good-sized bedrooms on the upper floor. There are also two bathrooms, plenty of storage space and a versatile lower ground floor offering various possibilities. Dike Level At the front, the large windows allow plenty of natural light to enter and offer unobstructed views across the dike towards the greenery of Noorderpark. The exceptionally high ceilings (approximately 3 metres) create a wonderful sense of space. Together with the pine floorboards and characteristic staircase, they contribute to the special atmosphere that suits this traditional dike house so well. The living room and kitchen flow naturally into one another, creating a pleasant and comfortable living space. The kitchen features a Belgian bluestone worktop, a five-burner gas hob, an oven and a dishwasher. There is plenty of cupboard space, including a practical built-in wall of cabinets incorporating the fridge-freezer. At the rear, large windows and French doors provide plenty of natural light and a direct connection to the outdoors. The property overlooks the community vegetable garden behind the house, creating a surprisingly open and green outlook. From the living room and kitchen, you can step directly onto the spacious terrace. A lovely place for outdoor dining, drinks with friends or simply enjoying some time outside. Lower Ground Floor The staircase leads down to the surprisingly spacious lower ground floor, which also features attractive pine floorboards. Most of this level has a ceiling height of 2.62 metres, which is particularly generous for a dike house. The lower ground floor is currently used as a home office and TV room, but could also be arranged for other purposes, such as a second living room, a spacious kitchen-diner or a bedroom. French doors provide direct access to the rear garden. This level also includes a bathroom with a bathtub, toilet and washbasin. In addition, there is a separate laundry room and two generous storage rooms on the side adjoining the dike. The French doors provide direct access to the 30 m² rear garden. The garden faces east and offers ample space for a comfortable seating area and planting. It also benefits from its own rear access. First Floor The first floor accommodates three good-sized bedrooms. A skylight provides additional natural light to the landing. The bedrooms are neatly finished and feature oak floorboards. The second bathroom has been renovated and includes a spacious walk-in shower, double washbasin and toilet. The tiling and finishes complement the character of the house. Renovation and Maintenance The property underwent extensive renovation after being purchased by the current owners. Attention was paid not only to the interior finishes but also to the renewal and improvement of several important parts of the house. The roof has been completely renewed and insulated, with slate tiles at the front and bitumen roofing at the rear. Some of the window frames have been replaced, and the property is partially fitted with HR++ high-efficiency double glazing. The electrical installation has also been renewed. Inside, most of the walls have been replastered, and the floors have either been replaced or refurbished. Throughout the renovation, care was taken to preserve as much of the original appearance and character of the dike house as possible.
