Area
De Kop Weespertrekvaart dates back to the Solitudo or Lindenhoeve country estate, which was built here by affluent families from Amsterdam in the 18th century. This leafy, wooded country estate served as the inspiration for the development of the area as it is taking place today. The area is characterized by detached self-built homes, by greenery, a fantastic sense of space and a unique personality. Amstel station and arterial roads are easy to reach and the new bicycle bridge across Weespertrekvaart to Watergraafsmeer is almost finished. A park will be created at De Kop. The area is home to several restaurants and eateries, such as George Marina with a phenomenal terrace, L'Osteria for delicious pizzas and charming Thuis aan de Amstel.

De Baak
Langs de Amstel fiets ik richting het zuiden en net voorbij het Amstelstation sla ik af naar het Solitudopad. Dit is de Kop van de Weespertrekvaart, een omgeving met een rijke historie die lange tijd dienst deed als bedrijventerrein. Totdat hier woningbouw werd ontwikkeld. Zo ontstond een ruim opgezette nieuwe wijk met vrijstaande woningen, waarvan er enkele direct aan het water liggen. Waaronder nummer 22, te bereiken via de mandelige weg (van de bewoners) en via het fietspad langs de vaart.
De luxe en het comfort zijn overweldigend. Zo is er een lift in huis en een uitgebreide machinekamer met installaties om de woning zo energiezuinig als mogelijk te maken. Alles is uit de kast getrokken, van zonnepanelen tot een warmtepomp en zeer goed isolerend glas en van een systeem voor het opvangen en scheiden van water tot een geavanceerd domoticasysteem.
Ik vind het een mooie en centrale locatie met het Amstelstation op loopafstand. Ook de buurtwinkels in het Amstelkwartier en de leuke, hippe horeca aan de Amstel zijn van toegevoegde waarde. De verkopers hebben hun ziel en zaligheid in de bouw gestoken, maar zoeken nu door onvoorziene omstandigheden iets anders. Zo komt er een bijzonder vrijstaand woonhuis in de verkoop met alle luxe die men kan wensen. Zelfs met de mogelijkheid om een boot af te meren in de haven. Een zeldzaam voorrecht.

Design vision
This architecturally designed detached villa has been meticulously crafted to provide a hassle-free living experience. It boasts a range of features aimed at enhancing convenience and sustainability, making it a truly modern and efficient home.
To begin with, the villa is equipped with an elevator, an extensive home automation system, and an exceptionally energy-efficient heating and cooling system. Its large floor-to-ceiling windows not only offer stunning views but also provide excellent insulation. Furthermore, the rooftop is adorned with 17 solar panels to harness the power of the sun. Water management is a key focus, with features such as a rainwater storage tank and two large boilers for hot water. The heat pump, which extracts warmth from the ground, contributes to the villa’s overall energy efficiency, making it an eco-conscious residence.
The modern aesthetic of the property is further accentuated by the continuous zigzagging facade panels, filled with a harmonious combination of wood and glass in the interstitial spaces. This design choice imbues the villa with elegance and a sense of style.
Thanks to the integrated home automation system, residents can easily control various aspects of their living environment. This includes managing the sunshades, lighting, and even the underground irrigation system for the lawn. The audio system, discreetly integrated into the ceilings, allows for immersive sound experiences, and access doors can be effortlessly operated with the touch of a button. This level of automation ensures that every aspect of daily life in the villa is tailored to the residents’ preferences, creating a seamless and sophisticated living experience.




Ground floor
The side entrance provides access to the ground floor, where you’ll find a spacious hallway with a staircase, wardrobe, and technical room facing the Weestertrekvaart side. On the garden side, there is a generously sized multifunctional space, and adjacent to it, a substantial work/bedroom with its own bathroom. There is ample space for a pantry as well. A spacious guest toilet with a designer sink is already in place. Large sliding doors open up to a delightful, sun-drenched south-facing terrace, seamlessly transitioning into a well-maintained lawn.
The technical room is impressive, housing extensive installations. All the systems necessary to ensure the efficient operation of the house are neatly concealed here. This includes the heat pump, rainwater storage, two 500-liter boilers for hot water, the home automation and alarm systems, and the central electrical components.
First floor
Adjacent to the elevator, there is a beautiful oak staircase with a slender steel railing leading to the first floor. Here, you’ll find a spacious landing with a mostly glass floor, allowing maximum light to filter down to the ground floor. The bedroom on the west side features a lovely corner window offering panoramic views of the canal, and the shower also offers a view without compromising privacy. The bathroom is equipped with a large rain shower, underfloor heating, and a vanity unit with a nod to the 1950s. The use of glass doors and partitions maintains a transparent and open feel.
There are two workspaces on this floor, which are en-suite connected. It’s a simple adjustment to convert these spaces into two well-proportioned bedrooms. Additionally, it’s possible to create a bathroom in the rear room, enhancing the functionality of this floor to suit your needs.





Second floor
The second floor is accessible via an open steel staircase, beautifully illuminated by spotlights. This stylish staircase leads to a spacious living room with a loft and an abundance of natural light streaming in through the floor-to-ceiling glass facades. On this floor, you’ll also find an original guest toilet. The master bedroom, complete with its own bathroom, is generously appointed. The bathroom is partially open to the bedroom, creating an elegant and seamless connection. With its luxurious walk-in shower, stylish Corian vanity unit, and Geberit shower toilet, the bathroom exudes a magazine-worthy aesthetic.
Top floor
This floor redefines the concept of a living kitchen, where cooking, dining, and lounging seamlessly converge. The focal point is the extensive kitchen, crafted entirely in black ceramic and equipped with state-of-the-art Gaggenau appliances. Noteworthy mentions include the Quooker, Bora cooktop, and the built-in electric wok pit. Additionally, there are LED lighting and recessed spotlights that can illuminate every kitchen scene in the perfect color. And then, there are those two large sliding doors that grant access to the next highlight: the rooftop terrace.










Dakterras
Het terras is grandioos, groot genoeg voor een riante loungeset en een eettafel. Met de zomerse zonsondergangen, uitzicht op de Weespertrekvaart en prachtige vergezichten is het hier fantastisch buiten zitten. De stijlvolle zandkleur tegels en een glazen balustrade maken het een mooi verlengstuk van de woonkeuken. Onder de overstek is alvast rekening gehouden met een buitenkeuken.
Tuin met terras
Een goed verzorgd gazon omringd door een haag. Met zijn ligging op het zuiden vangt de tuin bijna de gehele dag zon. De zijtuinen lopen door naar de bakstenen muur, waar poorten naar de Weespertrekvaart leiden. De linkerkant van het perceel is de oprit die plaats biedt aan meerdere voertuigen.
Ligplaats
Er wordt een eigen ligplaats aangeboden in de haven ‘Vrijzigt’ op 50m van het huis. Prijs op aanvraag.
