Nieuwendammerdijk 457 / 1023 BN AMSTERDAM

Description

Stately, detached living on the historic Nieuwendammerdijk – with elegance, space, and a story On one of the most beautiful and characteristic dike streets in Amsterdam Noord stands a remarkable property with a rich history: Nieuwendammerdijk 457. This detached residence, built in 1929, began life as the Boerenleenbank – the forerunner of Rabobank – and still exudes the presence and solidity of a stately, representative building. Carefully transformed into a generous and comfortable family home, it now offers over 327.5?m² of living space across four full floors. All this is situated on freehold land (own ground). What immediately catches the eye is its set-back position from the dike, creating extra space, enhanced privacy, and a beautiful, unobstructed view over the reedland in front of the house. The front steps are made from Belgian bluestone and, like the extension, have been structurally reinforced. On the street level you’ll find an entrance with a terrazzo floor and cloakroom, a spacious through-living room, a generous dining room, and a modern eat-in kitchen fitted with built-in appliances (some available for takeover), adjacent to the original safe from the bank erea distinctive feature that underscores the home’s character. The living room opens via French doors onto a broad terrace spanning the entire rear façade. This floor is laid with oak parquet and terrazzo flooring, both heated with underfloor heating. At the front you’ll find the former director’s office - now a study - with direct access to what was once the bank’s kitchen, now used as a utility closet. First floor Once part of a separate apartment for a bank employee along with the attic, this floor now includes three bedrooms: a master bedroom at the rear, a second bedroom at the front complete with a walk-in closet, and a third spacious room—formerly two—with a former bathroom. The bathroom at the back features a bathtub, double sinks, and a walk-in shower. There is also a separate second toilet.

There are multiple schools, childcare facilities, and sports clubs in the vicinity, including a tennis club at the edge of Vliegenbos and TV Elzenhagen a bit further away. Accessibility is excellent: within a ten-minute bike ride you can reach both the ferry to Central Station and the metro station on the North–South line, which puts you in De Pijp or the Zuidas in about ten minutes. The A10 ring road is a short drive away and public transport connects well. In front of the house lies the Rietland, a wild nature area that transitions into a green buffer toward Schellingwoude. This natural strip forms part of the ecological link between Vliegenbos and the Waterland region—a valuable green corridor. In summer, locals often swim in the IJ from the boat ramp behind the reedland, and the area is ideal for walking dogs. Here, you enjoy a calm and green setting, with the city always within reach.
