Description
Buitenzagerij 41 – a lovely flat with a spacious west-facing terrace, energy rating A and stunning views over the IJ.
Living on IJ-Plein is a conscious choice for people, and once you live there, you understand why. Right on the water’s edge, with unobstructed views over the IJ, yet just five minutes from Amsterdam Central Station via the free ferry. The neighbourhood has a character all of its own that you won’t find anywhere else in Amsterdam: quiet, green and intimate, yet designed by none other than Rem Koolhaas. On historic ground where the Amsterdam Dry Dock Company once stood. You can still see traces of its industrial past in the street names, such as Buitenzagerij itself.
This flat of approx. 43 m² is well laid out and ready to move into. Suitable for a first-time buyer, a couple or someone looking for a pied-à-terre in a prime location. In addition, the leasehold has been bought out in perpetuity, so you won’t have to worry about it anymore!
The neighbourhood has a strong sense of community; work is currently underway on a dedicated ‘Doktuin’ with allotments and green spaces, which shows just how involved the residents are here.

LAYOUT:
You enter the property via the neat staircase and the gallery on the second floor. From the hall, you have access to all the rooms.
The living room is spacious and immediately catches the eye thanks to the large sliding doors that let in plenty of light. The balcony faces west, ideal for the afternoon and evening sun, with views over the IJ. The balcony is fitted with a lovely awning for hot days. For those who want to sit outside in the morning, there is a communal sun terrace right next to the property, facing east.
The kitchen is brand new and fitted with built-in appliances, so you won’t need to invest in these. The bathroom features a walk-in shower, toilet, washbasin unit and a connection for the washing machine. The bedroom is a good size, with space for a large bed, a wardrobe and possibly a workspace.
In the basement there is a private storage room with electricity, accessible from the street.
LOCATION:
The property is situated in the Vogelbuurt/IJplein area of Amsterdam-Noord, right on the IJ. It is a neighbourhood you have to experience to appreciate: the tranquillity and green surroundings stand in stark contrast to how close you are to the city centre. Across the water, you have everything you need, whilst here you have the space.
Within walking distance, you’ll find not only the Jumbo Foodmarkt and the Dirk but also cosy coffee bars and various restaurants such as Europizza, Keppler and Warung Pas. Overhoeks, with the EYE Film Museum, the A’DAM Tower, Madam and the Overhoekspark, is about a ten to twelve-minute walk away. In addition, the Noorderpark and the Vliegenbos are also easily accessible for some much-needed relaxation.
ACCESSIBILITY:
The ferry to Amsterdam Central Station is free, runs day and night and departs within walking distance. For many residents here, this is the main reason for choosing Noord. Furthermore, you can quickly reach the city centre by bike, and the rest of the city is easily accessible via the bus and Noorderpark metro station (North/South line). By car, the IJ Tunnel and the A10 ring road are within easy reach.
