Description

To let: Charming patio house on Borneo Island

Wonderful city living, by the water and just a stone’s throw from Amsterdam. A light and airy patio house with a surprising layout. Amsterdam’s vibrant city centre and Central Station are within cycling distance. The A10 motorway is easily accessible via the Piet Hein Tunnel.

Surprisingly light and comfortable
Various types of these patio houses are available to rent, ranging from loft flats to family homes. Each one has a unique layout and varies in living space from 99 m² to 130 m². The kitchen is fitted with a fridge-freezer, a gas hob and a combination microwave. The bathroom is also comfortable. A lovely space with a bath, washbasin and, in some homes, a separate shower. On the second floor is the patio, the home’s outdoor space. Thanks to the high fencing, this is a peaceful, atmospheric spot. The patio also lets plenty of light into the home.

Homes with character
The 173 patio houses – all with lovely views – are situated on Feike de Boerlaan, Stuurmankade, Kwartiermeesterstraat, R.J.H. Fortuynstraat, R.J.H. Fortuynplein, Stokerkade and Borneokade. Some of the homes overlook the Spoorwegbassin, whilst others look out onto the Entrepothaven. All homes have a ground-floor entrance and an internal storage room. The architectural practices of Liesbeth van der Pol, Steven Sorgdrager, and Tupker & van der Neut have succeeded in giving each home its own unique character.

Everything in the neighbourhood
The Borneo peninsula forms part of the Eastern Docklands, which also comprises Java Island, KNSM Island, Sporenburg and the Rietlanden. The Eastern Docklands is a popular residential area with striking architecture. Borneo is a genuine residential neighbourhood consisting mainly of low-rise buildings. This creates an intimate, urban atmosphere. The Brazilië shopping centre is situated on the Oostelijke Handelskade, a ten-minute walk away. Here you’ll find supermarkets, banks, a dry cleaner’s, a hairdresser, a baker, a butcher and all sorts of other shops. Primary schools, nurseries and a medical centre are also within a short cycle ride. Borneo’s central location is ideal. Amsterdam city centre and Central Station can be reached within minutes by bike or public transport. The A10 ring road is easily accessible via the Piet Hein Tunnel.
