Description

AVAILABLE FOR A FIXED RENTAL PERIOD FROM 1 AUGUST 2026 UNTIL 30 APRIL 2027

Unique living on the water: a stylishly converted former cargo vessel of approx. 170 m² with energy label A++, featuring multiple terraces and its own private swimming platform.

For those seeking a truly extraordinary home, this beautifully converted former cargo vessel on the sought-after Borneokade offers a rare opportunity to experience spacious, characterful waterfront living in one of Amsterdam’s most distinctive locations.

Offering approximately 170 m² of living space, a generous sun terrace of approximately 45 m², a charming bow patio of approximately 6 m², and a private swimming jetty, this remarkable houseboat combines the romance of life on the water with the comfort and quality of a contemporary home.

The entrance is located in the vessel’s original wheelhouse, now arranged as an inviting sitting area with panoramic water views and French doors opening onto the spacious terrace. From here, stairs lead down to the former captain’s quarters, which have been transformed into an elegant principal bedroom featuring bespoke fitted wardrobes.

Further below, the former cargo hold reveals an unexpectedly spacious and beautifully designed interior. This level accommodates a technical room with heat pump installation and laundry facilities, a separate guest toilet, a luxurious bathroom complete with bathtub, walk-in shower and second toilet, as well as two comfortable additional bedrooms.

The true centrepiece of the home is the magnificent living area with open-plan kitchen. Boasting impressive ceiling heights of approximately 3.30 metres, abundant natural light and uninterrupted views across the water, this space offers a unique sense of openness rarely found in Amsterdam.

Adjacent to the living room is a separate study or home office, ideal for those working remotely. From the living area, both the expansive terrace and the intimate bow patio can be accessed — a secluded outdoor retreat perfect for enjoying the sun in complete privacy.

From the terrace, a gangway leads directly to the private swimming jetty. On warm summer days, a refreshing swim from your own doorstep becomes part of everyday life, offering an unrivalled sense of freedom and tranquillity.
