Exclusive living in an iconic dike villa in De Krijgsman Muiden
On one of the most distinctive avenues in De Krijgsman Muiden, you will find this architect-designed dike villa at Westbatterijlaan 26. Designed by FARO Architecten, the villa stands out with its strong architectural form, expansive glass façades, striking roofline and beautiful natural light.
The villa offers approximately 250 m² of living space across three full residential floors and is situated on a plot of approximately 350 m². A unique feature is the generous waterside garden of approximately 1,083 m², located directly on the IJmeer. From both the house and garden, there are unobstructed views over the water and surrounding landscape. Via the private bridge, you reach the waterside garden and the dike, where you can enjoy walks, cycling routes towards Muiden or Amsterdam and, in summer, a swim in the IJmeer. The property also includes a private mooring.
Inside, everything revolves around light, space and views. The void naturally connects the different floors and creates an open yet warm atmosphere. The ground floor comprises the entrance, dining room, study, storage room and generous living areas with a seamless connection to the garden. The kitchen is fitted with Miele built-in appliances and offers a high-quality basis for cooking and entertaining.
The first floor includes the living room, several bedrooms and a bathroom, combining openness with privacy. From the living room, the exceptional waterside location can be fully appreciated. The top floor, beneath the distinctive roof, offers additional bedrooms and a second bathroom. In total, the home features five bedrooms, two bathrooms, separate toilets, a balcony and a void, making it both architecturally distinctive and practical for everyday living.
The waterside garden forms an essential part of the living experience and offers ample space for terraces, seating areas and greenery. Thanks to its waterfront position, depth and privacy, there is always a sunny or sheltered spot to enjoy. At the front, the property offers two private parking spaces on its own grounds, with space to realise a carport.
The villa has an A+++ energy label and is equipped with a heat pump, balanced ventilation, cooling and solar panels, making it a comfortable and future-proof home.
The exclusive dike villas in De Krijgsman occupy a front-row position along the IJmeer and all feature a private bridge to the waterside garden and a private mooring.
