House on the water. Oasis in the bustling town.

This waterfront townhouse in Watergraafsmeer offers a serene escape from Amsterdam’s busier districts. Best suited for families with children up to 18, the sunny home features three floors with sleeping areas on the upper levels and a spacious kitchen on the ground floor that opens to a private, fully fenced garden and terrace. Guests can enjoy direct access to the Ringvaart canal, a free private parking spot (a rare find in the city), and amenities like a washer, hair dryer, and children’s dinnerware. The area blends residential calm with easy access to Muiderpoort station (a short walk away), making it ideal for those who want to explore Amsterdam without staying in the tourist core. The nearby Ringvaart and garden views create a peaceful base for day trips or relaxing evenings.

Watergraafsmeer is a recently developed residential area east of Amsterdam’s center, offering a local, laid-back vibe. A brewery and café-restaurant sit a few meters from the water, while shops, restaurants, and parks like Flevopark (with an outdoor swimming pool) are within walking distance. The city center is a 10- to 15-minute bike or transit ride away, and Muiderpoort station provides quick connections to other parts of Amsterdam.
