Description
Buitendraaierij 38 – corner apartment with fully paid-up ground lease, energy label A, and a beautiful view over the IJ.
Living in the protected cityscape of IJ-Plein means living in a unique location in Amsterdam: right on the water, with an unobstructed view over the IJ and a stone's throw from the ferry to Amsterdam Central Station. This characteristic residential area in Amsterdam-Noord was designed by world-renowned architect Rem Koolhaas and is located on historic ground, where the Amsterdam Dry Dock Company's shipyard used to be located. That industrial past still lives on here, for example in street names such as Buitendraaierij.
This well-designed apartment of approximately 43 m² is ideal for first-time buyers, singles, couples, or those looking for a pied-à-terre who want to live in a quiet, green, and yet extremely central location. The cohesion in the neighborhood is very noticeable. For example, work is currently underway on a “Doktuin” with various vegetable gardens and greenery.

LAYOUT:
The well-maintained staircase and gallery on the second floor lead to the entrance of the apartment. All rooms are accessible from the hall. The living room is remarkably wide and enjoys plenty of light thanks to the large sliding doors. The east-facing balcony is a pleasant extension of the living space and offers a beautiful view of the IJ. This is a wonderful place to start the day quietly with a cup of coffee in the morning sun. For those who want to enjoy the sun later in the day, there is a pleasant communal terrace right next to the house where you can sit in the afternoon and evening sun.
The modern kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances and fits in well with the living space. The bathroom is practical and neatly furnished with a walk-in shower, toilet, sink, and connection for the washing machine.
