UNIQUE PENTHOUSE APARTMENT OF 87 M² LOCATED ON THE TOP TWO FLOORS OF THE VOC WAREHOUSE OOSTENBURG! FREEHOLD PROPERTY!

This attractive apartment is spread over two floors and features a spacious West-facing terrace (approx. 28 m²), a living room with semi-open kitchen, three bedrooms, a modern bathroom, and—rare for Amsterdam—is located on freehold land (no leasehold).

Location

Oostenburgervoorstraat is located in a historically significant part of Amsterdam, on what used to be VOC (Dutch East India Company) grounds. The Oostenburg warehouse is the most iconic building in the area and serves as a fantastic base for enjoying all that Amsterdam has to offer.

The neighborhood offers a wide range of amenities. You'll find several supermarkets within walking distance, and you're just a short stroll from the Eastern Docklands, the Lloyd Hotel, the authentic Dapper Market, or the elegant Plantage district with the Hortus Botanicus and Artis Zoo. On Saturdays, enjoy visiting local favorites like Kef cheese shop, Stadsbakkerij As, and Frank’s Smokehouse, The Pizza Vagabond, Brouwerij het IJ, The Scheepvaartmuseum, Museum NEMO and the Marine area.—all just around the corner!

In recent years, the area has seen the arrival of many trendy hotspots, particularly thanks to the adjacent Oostenburg new development. The location—between the Eastern Docklands and the city center—is both dynamic and inspiring. A variety of fitness options are available nearby, including several high-end gyms, or enjoy a jog along the Veemkade or in the Oosterpark.

If you love city life, this is the place for you. Oostenburgervoorstraat is a peaceful street—yet the lively center is just minutes away. By bike, you’ll reach Nieuwmarkt in under five minutes.

Commuting by car is convenient as well; the A10 East ring road is accessible within two minutes via the Piet Hein Tunnel. Prefer public transport? Trams depart from nearby Czaar Peterstraat, and Amsterdam Central Station is just five minutes away by tram or bus. Muiderpoort Station is also quickly accessible by bike.

Good news for car owners: there is ample parking available on the street. Residential parking is permit-based, and the current waiting time is virtually zero—a true rarity in Amsterdam, especially in the city center. For more details, please consult the Municipality of Amsterdam website.

In short: this apartment offers the perfect blend of vibrant city living and tranquility, right in the heart of Amsterdam’s city center.

Layout

Via the stately entrance and the impressive glass atrium, you reach the apartment—situated on the fourth floor—by elevator or via one of the two stairwells.

The entrance of the apartment leads into a hallway that provides access to the bright living room. Thanks to the large windows, there is a seamless connection to the generous balcony, where you can enjoy the sun from early morning until late afternoon during the summer months. The modern kitchen, renovated in 2023, includes a practical dining area and also offers access to the balcony.

The upper floors accommodate the sleeping quarters, which can be arranged flexibly to suit your needs—for example, as a home office or guest room. The bathroom was completely renovated in 2022 and features a walk-in shower, washbasin, toilet, and underfloor heating. All skylights were replaced in 2023.

In the basement of the complex, you will find a communal bicycle storage area and a very spacious private storage room of 21 m2—ideal for additional storage.

A particularly unique feature of this building is the communal mooring dock, where residents may berth their sloop free of charge—a rare luxury in Amsterdam. The communal storage room has direct access to the dock, making it easy to load and unload your boating equipment.

The apartment is part of an active and financially healthy Homeowners’ Association (VvE), which is professionally managed by Stedeplan. A current long-term maintenance plan is in place, and the monthly service charges amount to €217.
