STOERE JONGENS No. 163
As a real estate agency, we manage the sale of a diverse range of properties. For us as real estate agents, this variety is highly stimulating and contributes to a comprehensive understanding of Amsterdam’s housing market. Personally, I find the design and layout of the Houthavens to be very well thought out and a great complement to the “old city.” The neighborhood’s dynamic is very pleasant, and the amenities are excellent. On streets such as the Spaarndammerstraat and Haarlemmerstraat, you’ll find a diverse selection of shops, specialty stores, and delicatessens. Additionally, the area boasts several excellent restaurants and cozy cafés. The apartment is a beautifully designed and impeccably maintained ground-floor home of approximately 65 m². It offers the perfect combination of contemporary living and comfort. With a spacious living room featuring high ceilings (3.31 meters) that opens onto the loggia, a stunning kitchen with an island, a full-sized bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, underfloor heating/cooling, a robust wooden floor, a laundry room, a separate toilet, and a loggia, this is a refined home where you will feel instantly at ease. The property was built in 2018 as part of a large-scale development focused on the future, incorporating extra insulation measures, gas-free construction, and the installation of underfloor heating and cooling systems. If you’re interested, I would be happy to invite you for a visit. Of course, I’ll tell you more about the apartment then. Hopefully, see you soon!

The municipality and developers have agreed that the Houthavens must become a 100% climate-neutral district. In the Houthavens, environmentally friendly construction has been a priority, with extra attention given to energy and material use. The Wiborg project was completed in 2020 and designed by architect Neelu Boparai. He drew inspiration from the Houthavens themselves, as well as from the Entrepotdok, the robust warehouses in Hamburg, and the lofts in New York.
The assignment for Wiborgeiland was to design a 150-meter-long residential strip offering water views on both sides. The theme for this island was ‘stoere jongens’ (tough guys), referring to the warehouses of the past. The Stoere Jongens is located on the first island on the western side of the Houthavens. All islands in the Houthavens are named after Hanseatic cities with which trade was conducted in the past. The rich trading culture of Amsterdam is reflected in the architecture of Wiborg. The facades are varied, with nine different designs for three apartment buildings and sixteen individual properties. The sturdy warehouses are detailed in a variety of ways, ranging from sleek, modern designs to more literal interpretations of classic warehouses with brickwork.
The living room serves as the heart of the home. There is ample space for a seating and dining area, making it the ideal place for relaxation and socializing. The large windows and the very high ceiling of over 3.3 meters allow for plenty of natural light, further enhancing the space. Adjacent to the living room is the loggia. The folding doors create a pleasant connection with the outdoor space. The robust wooden floor, which runs throughout the entire apartment, combined with the corner location, adds a unique and playful character. The open kitchen is equipped with Bosch built-in appliances, including an refrigerator, freezer, oven, combination microwave, dishwasher, and Bora induction cooktop. In the hallway, you will find a laundry room and a separate toilet.
The master bedroom is located on the quiet street side of the apartment and offers space for a double bed and a large wardrobe. The en-suite bathroom is equipped with a spacious walk-in shower, a double washbasin unit, and a designer radiator. The bathroom is timelessly tiled with a combination of a concrete-look floor tile and white wall tiles.
The outdoor living experience is further enhanced by the loggia, which adjoins the living room and is accessible via a large folding door. The loggia is approximately 7 m² in size and faces northwest, where you can enjoy the evening sun. Thanks to its partly enclosed position, it is a pleasant spot to spend time early in the season, making it an ideal place to relax.
The Houthavens is a success: a new neighborhood with seven islands and charming canals. The area is now truly vibrant, with lovely coffee spots, a park, and various playgrounds for children. Wiborgeiland is a wide, car-free street surrounded by water. There are so many great places nearby. Hotel The July – Boat&Co has a restaurant, Vessel, which is open from early in the morning until late at night. The terrace by the water is beautiful, where everyone swims in the summer. Bar Hout is located next to the playground, making it ideal if the children are running around there (great lunch and snacks). Anne&Max or Dignita (Spaarndammerstraat) are perfect for a good coffee or lunch. Café de Walvis, Compartir, Freud, and Morris & Bella are all cozy restaurants and bars on Spaarndammerstraat, just a few minutes’ walk from our house. You can also easily reach Noord by ferry or your own boat, where you’ll find Loetje, Pllek, or Helling 7.
