Houseboat Schellingwouderdijk for a modern take on an Amsterdam houseboat

East of the historic heart of town, in the calm, green Schellingwoude neighbourhood, this neat, square houseboat is moored close to parks and residential streets near the mouth of the IJ. There are plenty of nostalgic old houseboats in Amsterdam, but Houseboat Schellingwouderdijk is part of the new breed, full of square corners and industrial materials, with tall patio doors that open onto a covered deck. It’s a thoroughly modern and positive waterside space.
