Prinseneiland 36-A

Located on the water on the idyllic and historic Prinseneiland, this charming waterfront villa of approximately 146 m² features three bedrooms, a spacious kitchen-diner, patio, and sun terrace. A unique highlight is the private jetty with mooring for a boat, waterfront living in its most literal form. The property is part of the small-scale new-build project Dockside De Prinsenwerf (2002), consisting of six adjacent homes. The property is situated on freehold land.

Characteristic of this distinctive building is the visible wooden truss construction in the façade and the sloping terrace, subtly referencing the site's history as a shipyard. The design carefully preserves the nautical character and translates it into a contemporary, high-quality living environment. The waterfront villa stands out for its large windows, efficient layout, and exceptional natural light.

Layout: Behind the communal outer wall lies the front garden of approximately 18 m², offering space for bicycle storage and access to the entrance of the property.

The hallway features a separate toilet and a wardrobe. The home has a playful design, where all spaces are naturally connected, and an open staircase links the three floors of the villa. From the hallway, a short staircase leads to the kitchen with dining area. This space includes a wide, generously sized kitchen and offers ample room for a large dining table. From the kitchen, you enjoy views over the water and the green sedum roof of the lower level. The kitchen-diner connects directly to the terrace and private jetty. The terrace provides ample space for a large lounge area and serves as the gateway to open water. From the Bickersgracht, both the IJ and the canal belt are directly accessible.

The top floor is arranged as a living room and is characterised by unobstructed views over the water. Additionally, a bespoke wall unit with integrated workspace is present.

On the lower ground floor (equipped with underfloor heating), there are three bedrooms, a bathroom, and a storage room with connections for a washing machine and dryer. The hallway, providing access to all rooms, features built-in wardrobes. From the hallway and two of the bedrooms, there is direct access to the patio of approximately 13 m², which includes an outdoor shower.

Location: Prinseneiland is one of the most idyllic and authentic locations in Amsterdam, a quiet island in the heart of the city where the bustle of the centre feels far away. Together with Bickerseiland and Realeneiland, it forms the Western Islands, an area with a rich history in shipbuilding and craftsmanship.

The surroundings are defined by their small-scale character, surrounding water, artist studios, greenery, and low-traffic streets without pavements, creating a unique, almost village-like atmosphere rarely found elsewhere in the city. Here, you experience tranquillity, space, and a distinctive piece of Amsterdam heritage.

At the same time, shops, restaurants, and various amenities are within close proximity. Haarlemmerdijk, Haarlemmerstraat, and the Jordaan are all within walking distance, offering a wide range of shops, markets, restaurants, and cafés. Public transport is also excellent, with strong connections to, among others, Amsterdam Central Station.

And for those who take to the water, the directly adjacent waterways provide immediate access to the IJ and the city centre, Amsterdam’s open water network quite literally begins at your doorstep.
