Schouwstraat 15

Schouwstraat 15 | Description

This spacious and characteristic home is located on one of the most sought-after streets in Nieuwendam! A unique opportunity, as this neighborhood (protected city scape) feels like a small village. This gem is situated at Schouwstraat 15, between Nieuwendammerdijk and Purmerplein. A lovely house with both a front and back garden. Additionally, the house has been retrofitted with insulation and equipped with eight solar panels (2016), achieving an energy label B.
It’s a charming, characterful house, built in 1953 by order of the shipping company "Nederland" N.V. for senior staff, and it’s solidly constructed in a green and child-friendly neighborhood. Here you combine the best of both worlds: peace and space, yet close to the city center. The heirs are selling their parents' home, which was first rented by their parents and purchased by them in 1998.

Layout

This house has its own garden path and a delightful front garden of approximately 35m². The spacious entrance includes a small hallway with a separate toilet, sink, electrical panel, and stairs to the first floor. You also have access to the en suite living room and the separate kitchen.
The large steel windows at the front, inspired by Dudok architecture, provide views over the street and front garden. The sunny, south-facing back garden is accessible from both the living room and kitchen. This garden is 14.3 meters deep and over 7 meters wide, making it a perfect spot to relax, sunbathe, and enjoy the greenery and trees. Thanks to the plants, you’ll also enjoy plenty of privacy in this sheltered garden.

Location

Amsterdam-Noord is ideal thanks to its location and natural surroundings. You can enjoy rural living with the convenience of the city just a short bike ride away, and the protected nature reserve of Waterland is nearby as well. Over the last 20 years, Amsterdam-Noord has rapidly developed into a highly desirable residential area with a great variety of schools, sports facilities, and dining options. The ADAM Tower, EYE Film Museum, Tolhuistuin, FC Hyena, De Goudfazant, Het Vliegenbos, the community farm De Verbroederij, and the North/South metro line have turned Amsterdam-Noord into a hotspot with growing appeal while maintaining its authenticity. The A10 ring road with its connections is nearby, and in addition to the North/South line, there is excellent public transportation. Besides the ferry that connects Noord with Central Station day and night, the ferry to Oost and the ferry from Meeuwenlaan to Nieuwmarkt are also close by. The property is located on one of the most beautiful, child-friendly, and quietest streets in Tuindorp Nieuwendam, just behind Nieuwendammerdijk, known for its green and waterside surroundings. Schouwstraat is right by Schellingwouderbreek, with Jachthaven Twellegea, café 't Sluisje, the IJ, and Schellingwoude all just a stone’s throw away.
