Comfortable and energy-efficient living by the water, with the city centre just around the corner. Welcome to Veembroederhof 114, a bright one-bedroom apartment on the third floor of the Koffie building, part of the attractive De Loodsen complex on Oostelijke Handelskade. With an A+ energy label, HR++ double glazing and underfloor heating throughout, this is a warm and quiet home with low energy costs. I would be delighted to invite you for a viewing.
The apartment
The well-maintained entrance and one of the two lifts take you to the third floor. The living room is situated on the corner, allowing plenty of natural light to enter. It flows seamlessly into the open-plan kitchen, which is equipped with a refrigerator and spacious three-drawer freezer, a dishwasher, ceramic hob, oven and extractor hood. Underfloor heating is installed throughout the apartment.
The bedroom is generously sized, with ample room for a double bed, a large wall of wardrobes and a workspace. From the bedroom, you step directly onto the east-facing balcony, where you can enjoy the morning sun and views across the IJ.
The bathroom features neat floor tiles, large white wall tiles, a bathtub with shower and a washbasin unit. The toilet is separate from the bathroom, which is a practical bonus.
There is no shortage of storage space. In addition to the internal storage room, where it is also possible to create a second bathroom, the apartment includes a private storage unit on the ground floor. Bicycles can be stored in the secure communal bicycle storage area.
The area
Veembroederhof is located in the heart of the Eastern Docklands, between the IJ and Amsterdam city centre. The neighbourhood combines historic warehouses with modern architecture along wide waterfront quays.

Hotel Jakarta and its Malabar restaurant are also nearby. A little further away are the Public Library, the Conservatory of Amsterdam, NEMO Science Museum and the National Maritime Museum.
For daily shopping, you can walk to the Brazilië shopping centre, which offers supermarkets, specialist shops and a weekly organic market. TrainMore gym is just a few hundred metres away. With the water right on your doorstep, you can enjoy boating, swimming or simply relaxing along the quay.
Accessibility is excellent. Amsterdam city centre is only a few minutes away by bicycle. Tram 26 and bus 48 stop nearby and provide direct connections to Amsterdam Central Station and IJburg. By car, the IJtunnel and Piet Heintunnel provide quick access to the A10 ring road, A1 and A2 motorways. The ferry takes you directly to Amsterdam-Noord.
