***Luxury, High-End Houseboat on Prime Location along the Amstel River***
From the Singelgracht, in the heart of Amsterdam, the Amstel River flows southward, first passing through the lively and bustling Pijp district with the world-famous Albert Cuyp Market before reaching the popular Rivierenbuurt. The river widens and becomes more stately as it continues under the Berlage Bridge, eventually reaching a sharp bend where this stunning houseboat is situated on the shore of Omval. Originally a peninsula between the Amstel and Watergraafsmeer, this area was transformed in the late 1980s into a high-tech office and residential area, with the iconic Rembrandt Tower as its centerpiece, flanked by the Mondriaan and Breitner Towers. Together with the distinctive round residential towers, this area forms a “Little Manhattan” along the Amstel.
The houseboat is a modern, double-level water home built with a concrete hull at the De Blauwe Wimpel shipyard in 2008, measuring 15.00 x 7.00 meters (see registration document). The living area is approximately 155 m². The home is very well insulated and has an energy label A, with 13 solar panels on the flat roof.
On the waterside, there is a large fixed terrace running the entire length of the houseboat, nearly 16 meters long and 2.7 meters wide. Enjoy the sun with its southwest orientation and a phenomenal view over the Amstel towards the Utrechtsebrug and the Amstel Quarter, as well as towards the city. If you prefer more shade, retractable awnings provide it.
On the land side, there is a wide parking space for a car, complete with a charging station for an electric vehicle, and a private dock leading to the entrance.
LAYOUT
Living Floor:
Entrance hall with steel frames leading to the living area. This area has three large glass sliding doors on the waterside, two of which open onto the terrace, and a herringbone-patterned PVC floor. The spacious living room of approximately 37 m² has its own air conditioning. On the opposite side of the hall is the kitchen area with a modern fitted kitchen. The large open kitchen is sleek, modern, and equipped with all necessary built-in appliances. There is ample space for a large dining table, and the large window offers a generous view over the terrace and the Amstel. In the summer, it’s wonderful to open the sliding door wide!
Sleeping Floor:
A staircase in the hall leads down to the concrete hull where there are two large bedrooms on the left and right, one of which can easily be divided into two bedrooms. In the slightly lower area under the terrace, two walk-in closets have been created, with a central office space between them.
Natural light enters here through skylights in the terrace.
Both bedrooms have natural light through windows above water level and their own luxury bathroom—one with a walk-in shower, sink, and toilet, the other with an additional bathtub and double sink.
There are also two storage rooms, with the rear one housing the technical equipment for heating, pumps, and converters; the front storage room is equipped with a washing machine.
Who will be the future resident of this spacious houseboat with a mooring on the Amstel in the Rivierenbuurt, yet less than a 15-minute sail from the heart of Amsterdam?
