Live in a historic Amsterdam warehouse, surrounded by water, greenery and the vibrant energy of the city. This stylish and bright two-bedroom apartment, offering 76.84 m² of living space, is situated in the characterful Pakhuis Oostenburg.
The impressive history of this former eighteenth-century Dutch East India Company (VOC) warehouse can still be felt in its robust architecture and distinctive exterior walls, which are approximately 70 cm thick. At the same time, the apartment offers all the comforts of modern living: a spacious living room with open-plan kitchen, two bedrooms, a contemporary bathroom, an A+ energy label and lift access. Situated on freehold land, on the third floor of one of Oostenburg’s most remarkable residential buildings.
An additional and distinctive feature is the possibility of applying, through the complex’s jetty committee, for a mooring for a small boat or sloop – a wonderful complement to living in this historic waterside setting in Amsterdam.
LAYOUT
The historic entrance to Pakhuis Oostenburg immediately conveys the exceptional character of the building. From the communal entrance hall, with intercom panel and mailboxes, you enter the impressive central atrium. Its glass roof, soaring height and original warehouse architecture create a striking sense of arrival. From the atrium, the lift or stairs take you to the third floor.
Upon entering the apartment, a well-organised hallway provides access to all rooms. At the quiet front of the property are the generously sized principal bedroom and a second bedroom, ideal for use as a child’s bedroom, home office or guest room.
There is also a practical separate storage/utility room with connections for a washing machine and dryer, as well as the mechanical ventilation system and central-heating installation. The modern bathroom is finished in a contemporary style. A separate WC is also accessed from the hallway.
At the end of the hallway, the apartment opens into the bright living room with open-plan kitchen. The windows and French doors provide an abundance of natural light and access to the outdoor space. The generous proportions offer ample room for both a comfortable seating area and a large dining table.
The open-plan kitchen forms an integral part of the living space and is equipped with a fridge/freezer, combination oven/microwave, gas hob with stainless-steel extractor hood, dishwasher and sink. Various base cabinets and drawers provide practical storage space.
The lower ground floor of the complex also features a communal bicycle storage area. In addition, there is a secure storage room shared between four owners.
Another special feature is the jetty belonging to the complex: subject to availability and approval by the jetty committee, there may be an opportunity to use a private mooring for a boat.
LOCATION
Living in Pakhuis Oostenburg means living in a place where Amsterdam’s history remains tangible, right in the heart of a neighbourhood that continues to evolve. Directly behind the building lies the green Oostenburgerpark, a peaceful waterside setting that provides a pleasant contrast to the surrounding urban environment.
In recent years, Oostenburg has developed into a distinctive city neighbourhood, offering an appealing combination of monumental industrial architecture, contemporary new-build developments, restaurants, cafés and creative businesses. The nearby Van Gendthallen, where the Drift museum is among the anticipated new attractions, further contribute to the area’s unique character.
The Czaar Peterstraat, with its boutiques, specialist shops, cafés and restaurants, is just a short walk away. The Marineterrein, National Maritime Museum, Wereldmuseum, ARTIS Amsterdam Royal Zoo, the Plantage neighbourhood and Entrepotdok are also all within easy reach.
