IJburglaan 920 1087 GE Amsterdam

A TRUE PENTHOUSE OF APPROX. 200 SQ M: THE ONLY RESIDENCE ON THE TOP FLOOR, WITH A 91 SQ M ROOFTOP TERRACE, THREE BEDROOMS, TWO BATHROOMS, TWO OPTIONAL PARKING SPACES AND FANTASTIC VIEWS OVER A WIDE CANAL WITH SWAYING REEDS
This is a penthouse in every sense of the word. IJburglaan 920 is the only residence on the top floor of this small-scale residential complex, built in 2003. No neighbours above or alongside you, plenty of privacy, and an abundance of light, air and views. With approximately 200 sq m of living space, three generously sized bedrooms, two bathrooms, two parking spaces and a spectacular rooftop terrace of approximately 91 sq m, this is a home of a scale rarely found in Amsterdam.

On the fourth and top floor, the lift opens directly onto apartment 920. The penthouse has been thoughtfully laid out, with the living and sleeping areas beautifully divided across different parts of the property. The spacious living and dining areas are surrounded by large windows and open directly onto the terrace. The separate kitchen is large enough to accommodate a dining area of its own, while the three bedrooms are divided into two separate bedroom wings, each with its own bathroom.

And then there is the view. On the waterside, tall windows and numerous French balconies bring the outdoors inside. In front of you lies the approximately 35-metre-wide Groene Tunnel, with its characteristic green reed islands. Water, reeds, birds and boats define the view. A natural aquatic landscape in the heart of the island, where swans glide peacefully across the water. This is also where the name Rieteilanden (Reed Islands) comes from.

The enormous rooftop terrace extends along several sides of the penthouse. Adjacent to the living room is the wonderful south/southwest-facing section, where indoors and outdoors almost seamlessly merge and where you can enjoy elevated, unobstructed views across the water.
The basement level also contains a private storage room and two parking spaces. The parking spaces are offered together with the property for €55,000 buyer’s costs for both spaces.

THE PENTHOUSE
Through the well-maintained communal entrance of this small-scale complex, the lift takes you to the fourth and top floor. Here, something special awaits: IJburglaan 920 is the only residence on this floor. The apartment is literally positioned on top of the building and can therefore rightly be described as a penthouse.

There is a spacious entrance hall and a hallway that curves around the apartment, connecting all the rooms. On one side is a separate bedroom wing with two generously sized bedrooms, both with direct access to the rooftop terrace. Adjacent is a private bathroom with shower, toilet, washbasin, mirror and heated towel rail.

The hallway leads to the spacious kitchen. It offers plenty of work and storage space, a kitchen island, one-and-a-half sinks and a range of built-in appliances, including a professional high-pressure oven.
The kitchen opens onto the exceptionally spacious and bright living room, which is equipped with air conditioning. This is perhaps where the exceptional position of the penthouse is most apparent. Large expanses of glass on several sides provide an abundance of natural light and create a strong sense of space and freedom.

On the waterside are several tall windows with French balconies that can be opened. This brings the water almost literally into the living room. You look out across the approximately 35-metre-wide Groene Tunnel, its green reed islands, the reeds and everything happening on the water.
The second bedroom wing is located on the other side of the penthouse. Here you will find a spacious internal storage/laundry room with connections for a washing machine and dryer, the second bathroom and the generous primary bedroom. The water view also takes centre stage from this bedroom. The bedroom has air conditioning and two French balconies. Behind the bedroom is a space where a generous walk-in wardrobe can be created.

ROOFTOP TERRACE
The rooftop terrace deserves a chapter of its own.
At approximately 91 sq m, this is far more than just an outdoor space; it is a fully fledged extension of the home. The terrace runs along several sides of the penthouse, meaning that its orientation and atmosphere change throughout the day.
On the side of the two bedrooms, the terrace is oriented approximately northeast to southeast. Walking around the penthouse via the terrace, you arrive at the living room, where the large south/southwest-facing terrace section awaits.

This is where outdoor living is at its finest. From the living/dining area, you step almost directly onto the terrace, with plenty of space for a large dining table and a comfortable lounge area. Here, you sit high above the surroundings, enjoying privacy, sunshine and an unobstructed view, with the approximately 35-metre-wide Groene Tunnel and its green reed islands directly in front of you. The water is alive with activity: boats pass by, birds find their place among the reeds and, with a little luck, you may see swans gliding peacefully past.
This is IJburg at its finest: swaying reeds, living by the water, surrounded by greenery and open skies, yet still very much part of Amsterdam.

PARKING AND STORAGE
The basement level contains a private storage room and two parking spaces. The parking spaces are offered separately for €55,000 buyer’s costs for the two spaces.

IJBURG
Living in IJburg means enjoying space, water and greenery, while Amsterdam city centre is surprisingly close by. For everyday shopping, IJburg shopping centre is nearby, offering supermarkets as well as a wide range of shops and amenities. Schools, childcare facilities, sports facilities and a medical centre are also within walking and cycling distance.
For recreation, the Diemerpark, the beach and, of course, IJburg’s many waterways are all within easy reach. There is plenty of choice for a meal or a drink around the marina, along IJburglaan and on the various islands. On Saturdays, the local Reuringmarkt takes place on Joris Ivensplein.

LIVING BY THE WATER
Water plays a central role at the penthouse on IJburglaan 920. From the living room and one of the bedrooms, you have direct views over the Groene Tunnel. The wide canal, the greenery in and alongside the water and the buildings in the distance give the apartment a wonderfully open character. The marina and the many canals and waterways are an integral part of everyday life here.

ACCESSIBILITY
IJburg is excellently connected. Tram line 26 provides a fast connection between IJburg and Amsterdam Central Station, taking you in approximately fifteen minutes towards the Muziekgebouw aan ‘t IJ, the OBA Public Library of Amsterdam and Central Station. By car, IJburg provides easy access to the A10 and A1 motorways. Amsterdam-Oost and the city centre are also easily accessible by bicycle.
