Living on the water, with an open view over the IJ and the calm of a spot just outside the bustle of the city centre. Welcome to Westerdoksdijk 381. A bright apartment spread over two floors, with a spacious living room with tall windows, an open kitchen and a bedroom where you wake up every morning with a view of the water. Right outside your door is the car-free Westerdokseiland, with the Haarlemmerdijk and the Jordaan around the corner and Amsterdam Centraal within walking distance. The best of the city close by, and the calm of the water at home. I would love to invite you for a viewing.
The apartment
The living area is the heart of the home. A spacious living room with a pleasant ceiling height and large windows, offering a beautiful open view over the IJ and the modern new architecture of Amsterdam-Noord. Lively activity right outside the door and a view that never gets old.
The living room flows into the kitchen, which is fitted with a ceramic hob, oven, extractor hood and a fridge-freezer. Next to the kitchen is a handy pantry for extra storage. This floor also has a second toilet.
One floor up is the bedroom level. The bedroom is nice and spacious, with more than enough room for a double bed and a wall of wardrobes. Here you wake up every morning with an open view over the IJ. The bathroom is finished in neutral white tiles and fitted with a walk-in shower, a washbasin and a toilet.
There is also an internal storage room housing the heat recovery unit, and a separate internal space for the washing machine.
The neighbourhood
Westerdokseiland is one of the nicest places to live in the heart of Amsterdam: quiet, car-free and peaceful, right on the border of the Jordaan and the water of the IJ. Here you get the best of both worlds. The vibrancy of the city is around the corner, while at home you find calm by the water.
The cosy Haarlemmerdijk is a five-minute walk away and the buzzing Jordaan ten minutes. There you'll find lovely shops, fresh markets, supermarkets and delicatessens, plus a wide choice of restaurants, trendy cafés and terraces. The Noordermarkt is just around the corner, and the green Westerpark with cultural hub Westergas is a five-minute cycle away. The ferry takes you straight to creative, buzzing Amsterdam-Noord.
The location is excellent, whether you cycle, drive or take public transport. Amsterdam Centraal is within walking distance, so you're on the platform within ten minutes. By car you can reach the A10 and A5 ring roads via the Haarlemmerweg (S103) or the Spaarndammertunnel (S102). Schiphol is about twenty minutes away by car and half an hour by public transport.
