Spacious waterfront townhouse on car-free Stettineiland — private mooring, underground parking & garage box
Water lapping gently against the quay, your own mooring right outside the door, and the city a short bike ride away. This stylish townhouse on car-free Stettineiland, in the sought-after Houthavens, combines the calm of waterfront living with the comfort of a private home: a private mooring and underground parking right at the door. An exceptionally sustainable, spacious home (energy label A) of the wider type, with approximately 177 m² of living space across four floors, a living room with a void and a loft master suite with a private roof terrace. The mooring is ready to use: choose your jetty and your boat lies at the door — in summer you step straight from the living room aboard and onto the IJ.

Layout
From the secure parking garage you reach your own front door with ease. In the hall with seamless cast floor: a toilet and a spacious storage room with laundry area and utilities, including the home battery and the systems for underfloor heating and cooling. From the hall you step into the luxurious kitchen — the heart of the home. This fully custom-made kitchen is fitted with Gaggenau (oven, steam oven and warming drawers), Miele (fridge, dishwasher, range with extractor and wine climate cabinet) and a Quooker (boiling, chilled and sparkling water), with a generous cooking island and a direct connection to the void that draws daylight deep inside.
At street level lies the through living room: a wide, bright space with views over the water through the large glass façade at the rear. From here you step outside to your own mooring, where your boat can be berthed right away and where in summer you sail onto the IJ. An integrated work area with a custom desk is carefully incorporated into the whole.
The central staircase leads to the bedroom floors. The first floor is currently arranged as two large bedrooms — one on the water side, one at the front — but both are easily divided, giving you four full bedrooms just as in the original design. Between them is an elegant bathroom with a freestanding bath, walk-in rain shower and double vanity; a separate toilet is in the hall.
The entire second floor forms a generous loft master suite: ceilings approximately 5.30 m high, a custom wardrobe and an en-suite bathroom with walk-in shower. A storage cupboard is prepared for a sauna. On the other side: a pantry, an additional toilet and access to the sheltered roof terrace of approximately 17 m² with pergola, planters and app-controlled ambient lighting. You enjoy the sun here all day: mornings and afternoons out front or on the water aboard your boat, and evenings on the roof terrace.
Sustainability
Energy label A, 28 solar panels with home battery, district heating and underfloor heating and cooling throughout — in summer the heating simply switches to cooling. Fully insulated with HR glass: low energy consumption and a quiet living environment.
Surroundings
Where timber from across the world was once unloaded, the Houthavens have transformed into one of the most forward-thinking, sustainable districts in the Netherlands: seven car-free islands with plenty of water and calm, the city always close by. Stettineiland is one of the quietest, most spaciously laid-out islands. The Spaarndammerbuurt, the Jordaan and the Westerpark are around the corner; schools, playgrounds, a park and a swimming jetty are nearby, as are cafés and restaurants. Central Station is a ten-minute bike ride, the ferry to Amsterdam-Noord is close by, and the A10 ring road is within minutes.
