Description

*** Viewings can be scheduled independently via the viewing planner on Funda. *** Living on one of the most beautiful dikes in Amsterdam-Noord, with a sunny south-facing garden on wide navigable waters and a private mooring for a boat, just a stone’s throw from the Vliegenbos. In addition, a permitted plan for expansion is already in place for the property, while the house requires a full renovation and may also need foundation repair. This charming semi-detached dike house currently offers approximately 100 m² of living space, spread across three levels, featuring a delightful waterfront garden, a sunny roof terrace, and a detached garden studio that is perfectly suited as an atelier, home office, or guest accommodation. Here you will enjoy a green, almost village-like setting where peace, space, and water come together, while Amsterdam's city centre is surprisingly close. Within just a few minutes by bicycle you can reach the North/South Metro Line or one of the ferries across the IJ. For daily shopping and artisan specialty stores, the charming Purmerplein is just a short distance away, while the characteristic Café 't Sluisje—where our office is also located—is within walking distance for lunch, dinner, or drinks. From its waterside terrace you immediately experience the unique atmosphere that makes Nieuwendam such a sought-after place to live. The property is situated on the sunny side of the Nieuwendammerdijk and offers a comfortable layout. At dike level you will find the bright living room with an open-plan kitchen, where large windows at both the front and rear provide abundant natural light and a high degree of privacy. The lower-ground floor currently comprises a spacious bedroom, a bathroom, and a separate toilet, with direct access to the terrace and the waterfront garden. The top floor features a generous bedroom with washbasin and access to the sunny south-facing roof terrace. If desired, this floor can easily be reconfigured to suit different living requirements. The current owner has also invested significantly in the property in recent years. The entire exterior has been repainted, deteriorated timber has been professionally repaired, the bitumen roofing on the flat roof has been renewed, and a new Intergas central heating boiler was installed in 2026. As a result, several key elements of the home have already been brought up to date. Additional potential In addition to its current qualities, the property benefits from an approved building permit allowing the living area to be expanded to approximately 130 m². The approved plans include: Opening and partially building into the space alongside the house while preserving the characteristic view towards the Pereboomsloot; Lowering the basement level and creating a light well at the front to improve ceiling height and increase natural daylight; - Replacing and enlarging the rear extension; - Creating a spacious open-plan kitchen and dining area overlooking the garden; - Realising several generous bedrooms and a large family bathroom; - Creating a beautiful terrace overlooking the water. Prospective buyers should take into account that implementing these plans will require a substantial investment, depending in part on any structural works that may prove necessary, including possible foundation improvements.
