Silodam 163 +PP

Silodam 163 +PP | Description

Unique sunny apartment of in total 157m² on the 5th, 6th and 7th floor in the national monument ‘ the stone Silo’ with a spectacular view over the river IJ, with two terraces, a parking place, and storage area on the lower floor. This apartment was still owned by the first owner/residents who purchased the property in 1996 after the renovation. Accessible on both the 5th and the 6the floor by the elevator.
The Silodam is a three hundred metre long dam between the river IJ and the Old Timber Ports (Oude Houthavens) within a stone’s throw of the popular residential and shopping districts in the old city centre: Jordaan and Prinseneiland. The neighbourhood is creative, inspiring and very centrally located, but at the same time quiet and secludedly situated in a dead-end street.
Also due to the location and the free view of the ferry dock Pontsteiger, this is a unique part of Amsterdam. The Haarlemmerstraat, Noordermarkt, and the Jordaan are within walking distance. You can reach the city centre by bike in 5 minutes. The ring road in all directions can also be reached in no time.
The spectacular ‘Sail’ event is held every five years and from this apartment you will have a front row seat to enjoy the most beautiful boats that will be sailing passed your window.

Surrounding area/location:
There are two former grain silos along the Silo Dam that now serve as apartment buildings, including the Stone Silo, a national monument. The apartment building Silodam, built in 2002, is also located here and is a well-known example of modern architecture along the banks of the river IJ.
An automated parking garage with 214 parking places was built in the dam. Cars are transported in and out of the garage by means of an elevator.
The Houthavens (Timber Ports) are located along the western side of the dam and a three meter wide wooden boardwalk has been installed along the whole length of the dam. This boardwalk ends in stairs that run right through the new buildings to a terrace with a panoramic view of the river IJ.
