Detached House with Garden, Four Bedrooms and Private Parking Space!
Living in the car-free Peter Wotkehof on Haveneiland is truly a pleasure. With its private garden, four well-sized bedrooms, energy label A, ground lease prepaid until May 2054, covered parking space with a large additional storage room in the underground garage, and nearby swimming water, this is the perfect family home where children can play safely. It is also an ideal location for water sports enthusiasts.
Everything you need is close by. Within walking distance you will find IJburg shopping center with its weekly Saturday market, the Diemerpark with hockey and football fields, the tennis club, several primary schools, and public transport connections to the city center and Amsterdam Southeast.
THE OWNERS
“This house felt right from the very beginning. The light, the sense of openness, and the quiet character of the courtyard make it a wonderful place to live. Being detached gives you that extra sense of space and privacy that you might not expect on IJburg. The children can play safely right outside the door, and we can easily walk to the water or Diemerpark. Everything is nearby, yet it never feels busy.
Inside, the house is comfortable and efficiently laid out. Everyone has their own space, while the home as a whole remains practical and well-organized. Energy-efficient, functional, and thoughtfully designed.
It is a place where everyday life runs smoothly — peaceful living with the city within easy reach.”
LOCATION
The property is situated in a quiet, residential area of Haveneiland on IJburg. Nearby you will find several parks, including Theo van Goghpark with football and basketball courts and a large playground. Within walking distance there are multiple primary schools, daycare centers, and the Montessori Lyceum Terra Nova secondary school.
The city is closer than you think. IJburg is home to Amsterdam’s only true city beach, currently featuring several beach bars with more to come. The inner harbor, surrounded by cozy terraces, is unique. A little further along — still close by, just 8 minutes by bike or 2 tram stops — Zeeburgereiland will soon welcome the prestigious silos housing Rialto arthouse cinema. Construction of an indoor swimming pool offering children’s swimming lessons is also starting soon.
NATURE
The expansive Diemerpark is practically in your backyard. The southern part of the park forms part of the ecological corridor between Amsterdam and ’t Gooi. In that direction, along the old sea dike toward Muiderslot Castle, you can enjoy beautiful walks and cycling routes along the IJmeer through nature.
SPORTS
IJburg offers a wide range of sports facilities, including a tennis club, football and hockey clubs, boxing school, water sports association, and surf club. There is also a generous selection of gyms.
ACCESSIBILITY
Tram line 26 takes you to Amsterdam Central Station within 15 minutes. You can also reach the Zuidas business district in approximately 15 minutes. Bus lines 66 and 360 connect to the Arena area in around 15 minutes.
By car, you can quickly access the A10 ring road and the A1, A2, and A9 highways, and Schiphol Airport is reachable within approximately 20 minutes. There is also a ferry service for cyclists and pedestrians between Zeeburgereiland and the Eastern Docklands (Sporenburg), operating Monday through Friday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM every 20 minutes.
