Monnikskapstraat 661032 LM AmsterdamBuiksloterham-Noord

Uniquely situated, distinctive and spacious live/work house on one of the most beautiful streets in Amsterdam-Noord. The property was architect-designed and built in 2019/2020 by the current residents and is now offered for sale subject to the final legal subdivision of the rear building. The property is also registered together with the rear house located at Kaasjeskruidstraat 67. Combined, this totals 289 m² with an asking price of EUR 2,195,000. The house on Monnikskapstraat has no fewer than four generously proportioned floors and two accessible roofs. Difficulty with stairs? This has been taken into account: there is an elevator shaft where a platform lift can easily be installed. On the ground floor there is a studio/practice space and a separate studio with its own entrance. The first floor contains two bedrooms, a laundry room and a roof garden. The second floor has two bedrooms and a bathroom, and the third floor features the spacious and bright living room with wide views, a southwest-facing balcony and an open kitchen. The roof offers the possibility to create a large roof garden. The house overlooks the Papaverpark and canal. It is an ideal home for people who want to combine living and working. The current zoning is mixed (residential/work). The entire house is constructed from CLT (cross-laminated timber, solid wood) and insulated with wood fiber. The exterior façades are clad in highly durable untreated louro gamela wood. The interior walls are white-plastered for optimal daylight. Inside, some CLT walls are treated with UV protection to keep them light in color, while others are finished with clay plaster (vapor-permeable, like the wooden walls). Everything has been built with the future in mind. For example, the underfloor heating is currently connected to district heating, but the installation is suitable for connection to a geothermal heat pump. All roofs either have roof gardens or can accommodate them (extra insulation, delayed water drainage, cooling in summer). Here you experience living and working in a unique way — spacious, bright, sustainable, flexible and social — just a stone’s throw from Amsterdam Central Station. Layout Monnikskapstraat 66 Entrance on the ground floor. The front door opens into a space currently used as a workshop and course room. Adjacent is a large storage area with pantry and a bright studio with its own entrance overlooking an inner courtyard. The studio can easily be made suitable for independent living. A second entrance at the rear connects to a spacious hall with a toilet and a large storage cupboard. Stairs to the first floor: two bedrooms, a laundry room and a roof garden. The laundry room could optionally be replaced by a second bathroom. Stairs to the second floor: again two bedrooms, a bathroom with washbasins and shower, and a separate toilet. Stairs to the third floor: a spacious living room with adjacent southwest terrace and a large open kitchen. A staircase leads to the roof where a roof garden can be created. There is a carport with space for one car. Location and surroundings Buiksloterham in Amsterdam Noord is transforming from an industrial business area into a sustainable and circular urban district focused on living and working. Residents, companies, knowledge institutions and the municipality of Amsterdam collaborate on the development of the Buiksloterham area. Themes include energy, smart resource use, reuse, climate resilience and sustainable mobility. In addition to the original industry, designers, architects and other creative pioneers work here. Within Buiksloterham, Monnikskapstraat and the adjacent streets are particularly special: enterprising residents have built their live/work homes according to their own ideas. The result is a unique, cheerful and social neighborhood with a rich exchange of ideas, a collectively maintained natural park, swimming in the canal outside your door, children playing traditionally (building huts in the park, boating and fishing in the canal), and spontaneous conversations with neighbors. Nearby is the NDSM Wharf, the transformed shipyard — an exciting area with artist initiatives and innovative companies. Several restaurants are within walking distance. The area is currently under active development: a supermarket will be added within walking distance and, alongside many homes, several hospitality venues. The redeveloped Van der Pek neighborhood with its market and many restaurants is also close by (5 minutes cycling). In short, there is plenty to see and do. Accessibility The three ferry connections — Buiksloterweg, Distelweg and NDSM ferry — are 5 to 10 minutes by bicycle from the house, making Central Station and the rest of the city easily accessible. The A10 ring road is also easy to reach. Noorderpark stop of the North–South metro line can be reached within 10 minutes by bicycle or bus, allowing you to reach the Zuidas business district within half an hour — without a car and without breaking a sweat.
