***Fantastic Waterfront Villa***
This high-end villa (2020) of 171 m² is built over the water, offers three bedrooms with the possibility to add living space for a total of five bedrooms, a large sunny garden, private parking for three cars, mooring for multiple boats, and unobstructed views with lots of privacy.
This nearly detached home has a unique location: the front garden borders a park with views over the IJmeer, while the rear of the house partially floats above the water. On the south side, there is a green area and views over Diemerpark. This exceptional setting, combined with large, high windows, gives the home a great sense of freedom.
High-end Design and Finishes
This design villa was created with a strong sense of light and space by Martijn Braunstahl of MTB Architects – known for Kluun’s water villa. The design seamlessly blends indoor and outdoor spaces. The high window frames and open atrium provide a spectacular entrance. The living room has a ceiling height of approximately 3 meters, and the beautiful atrium reaches about 6 meters. The high steel-framed entrance, polished and heated concrete floors, unique handmade walnut Z-staircases, electrically operated ventilating sunshades, and a custom kitchen made from solid American walnut with Gaggenau appliances are all of exceptional quality. These high-end finishes, executed by passionate Dutch craftsmen at the top of their field, make this a unique and timeless home.
You can moor a large (sailing) boat or small yacht directly at the house. The water is about 1.8 meters deep. You can literally step onto your boat from your living room. The water quality is high and is regularly tested by Waternet. You can swim right from home!
LAYOUT:
Ground floor:
You enter through the approximately 6-meter-high hallway, where you’ll find the toilet and meter cupboard. Through the steel frame, you access the also 6-meter-high part of the living room, where the sculptural Z-staircase leads to the first floor. The solid walnut staircases, designed and handmade by stair artist Jakkoo van Asten, run throughout the home as a stunning connecting feature. At the front, the living room opens via large sliding doors to the southwest-facing garden—an ideal spot for breakfast or lunch. At the back, the living room extends over the water, with surrounding windows and sliding doors overlooking the water. Here you’ll enjoy the afternoon and evening sun year-round, watching swans or diving into the water. The living room flows into the open kitchen, custom-made from solid American walnut. Appliances include a Gaggenau combi-steam oven and combi microwave, Bora induction cooktop with downdraft extractor, and a Quooker for instant boiling water. The fridge, freezer, and dishwasher are Siemens top-line models. A sliding door in the kitchen leads to the covered terrace at the back, hovering over the water and offering sun from noon until sunset. A low sloop can be moored beneath the terrace, and stainless steel bollards are already installed for docking your yacht. From here, you’re only 15 minutes by boat to the Markermeer. Behind the kitchen is a multifunctional room suitable for an office, hobby room, utility space, or storage. With double glass doors opening to both the garden and the water, you can easily store your surfboard, jetski, or motorcycle here.
First floor:
The staircase leads to an open multifunctional area with views of the garden and the IJmeer on one side and access to an indoor balcony on the other. This space overlooks the living room atrium and can serve beautifully as an office, TV, hobby, or fitness room. The balcony can be enclosed to create a spacious extra bedroom. A hallway leads to two spacious bedrooms, all with heated, polished concrete floors and views over the water. At the end of the hallway is a modern, bright bathroom with a toilet, rain shower, freestanding bathtub with waterfall tap, custom walnut vanity with double riverstone sinks and waterfall faucets. A playful feature: the bathroom window offers privacy while still allowing you to enjoy the IJmeer view through the atrium. A built-in cabinet beneath the stairs houses the washer and dryer.
Second floor:
Landing with a toilet and sink, access to the roof terrace, air-conditioned master bedroom with walk-in closet and bathroom. Double doors open to the roof terrace with beautiful views of the IJmeer, Diemerpark, and the rustic ships at Bert Haanstrakade. The walk-in closet features two opposing, custom-made wardrobes. From here you enter the bathroom with a walk-in shower and custom walnut vanity with riverstone sink and waterfall tap.
SURROUNDINGS:
