An exceptional single-level penthouse spanning a whopping 240 m² on the eighth and top floor, offering completely unobstructed views of the IJ. The penthouse is located in the iconic De Zeven Provinciën building. With three bedrooms, an impressive kitchen-dining area, two terraces totaling 81 m², and a spectacular view of the IJ and the city, this penthouse offers a living experience of the very highest caliber.
The building stands out for its architectural quality and stately appearance. Through the grand entrance with revolving doors, you reach the elevator, which takes you directly to the eighth floor. Once inside, a world of space, light, and views unfolds. Parking is available in the private parking spaces in the underground parking garage.
Layout
The spacious entry hall, featuring a coat closet and guest restroom, provides access to the heart of the home. Through double glass doors, you enter the generous living room—an impressive space with floor-to-ceiling windows offering sweeping views of the IJ and the city. The dark oak parquet flooring runs throughout the entire home, giving the interior a warm, cohesive look. A custom-built bookshelf wall with a matching ladder adds extra character to the space.
The open kitchen is a highlight in its own right. It is equipped with a full range of Miele built-in appliances, a five-burner gas stove, an integrated coffee machine, a wine cooler, and all other modern conveniences. On the kitchen side, a wide sliding glass door provides direct access to the first southwest-facing terrace, with unobstructed views of the IJ. The spacious dining room accommodates a large dining table and serves as the link between the living areas and the hallway leading to the bedrooms.
Terraces
The penthouse features two terraces with a total area of 81 m². The first sunny, southwest-facing terrace adjoins the living and kitchen areas and offers sweeping views of the IJ and the North Sea Canal—ideal for enjoying the sunset. The second terrace, facing east/south, is located on the side of the master bedroom; it is landscaped with greenery and offers an intimate outdoor space.
Bedrooms and Bathroom
The hallway leads to the three bedrooms. The master bedroom is a spacious, stylish room with a long built-in closet wall and private terrace access; it is currently used as a fitness room. The adjacent bathroom is fully clad in large-format dark marble and features a double walk-in shower with a rain showerhead and a double sink with matching vanity, all designed by Baden Baden.
The second bedroom has French doors leading to the terrace and is currently used as a home office. The third bedroom is also generously sized.
The hallway features a second bathroom with a walk-in shower and sink, complemented by a separate guest restroom and a separate laundry room with space for a washer and dryer. The 26 m² indoor storage room with electrical hookups provides practical additional storage space.
