A Bungalow in the Sky This exceptional penthouse, boasting spectacular views across the River Zaan towards Amsterdam and offering no less than 198 m² of living space, can truly be described as a bungalow elevated to the highest level. Situated in a prime location just moments from Amsterdam, this remarkable penthouse combines the space and comfort of a detached home with the convenience and security of luxury apartment living. Complete with a private parking space and two storage rooms—one in the basement and a surprisingly spacious storage room on the roof terrace—this property offers an unparalleled living experience. Moving to an apartment often means compromising on space, but with a generous living area of 198 m², that is certainly not the case here. The panoramic views across the River Zaan towards Amsterdam, the expansive living room with its impressive windows, the adjoining study, the spacious kitchen-diner, the generously sized bedrooms with walk-in and fitted wardrobes, the two bathrooms and the private lift providing direct access to the apartment all contribute to an exceptional level of comfort. Every principal living space has been carefully positioned to maximise the stunning waterfront views. The indoor and outdoor spaces flow seamlessly together, while the constant movement of commercial and leisure vessels on the river creates a fascinating and ever-changing backdrop. The extensive glazing ensures abundant natural light throughout the year, allowing you to enjoy sunshine from sunrise to sunset. Located on the fifth floor, the apartment enjoys a peaceful yet highly central position close to the centre of Zaandam and within easy reach of Amsterdam. The vibrant city centre of Zaandam offers an excellent selection of shops, restaurants, cafés, the Zaantheater and many other amenities. The railway station is within walking and cycling distance, providing direct connections to Amsterdam Central Station and Schiphol Airport in approximately 12 minutes.
