This penthouse features private parking, private storage, and an elevator.
The interior has been designed in collaboration with interior design studio Studio Nest. During construction in 2020, high-quality and durable materials were used, lots of customization, steel doors, a warm gray cast floor by Senso, an extensive lighting plan for different lighting scenes, domotics, and a built-in Sonos sound system. The house is completely gas-free, has 8 solar panels for private use, underfloor heating and cooling, and is centrally located in the highly sought-after newly developed neighborhood ‘de Houthaven’. The building is designed in the architectural style of the Amsterdam School.
Layout

Location
The house is located in the former (old) Houthaven, which has been transformed into a luxurious residential neighborhood surrounded by water and greenery. The neighborhood is characterized by sustainability, attractive high-rise and low-rise buildings and water as a typical Amsterdam element, very suitable for a round of SUP boarding. Also, there are several moorings in the street and there is a large decking with swimming pier at the IJ river about 50 meters from the house.
The area includes several restaurants, a theater, a luxury hotel, schools and childcare. The popular Westerpark and the cozy Spaarndammerbuurt are within walking distance. The accessibility and connection to public transportation are very good, the ferry to Amsterdam Noord stops at the Pontsteiger and Central Station is only a 10-minute bike ride away. By car, there is a direct connection to the A10 (ring road) and several other highways.
