Property description
In a picturesque and peaceful setting on the outskirts of Amstelveen, near the Amstel river, lies De Oude Molen 5 - a special property with a rich history and many possibilities for the future. This monumental building from 1913, designed by architect B.J. Ouendag, originally served as a cowshed and wagon shed at the former gunpowder factory and is part of a rare industrial heritage ensemble. The building was fully restored in 2002. None other than Winy Maas of MVRDV drew for the 3 modern annexes.

Features & Potential
• National monument with original details such as stable windows, machine-made brick facades and characteristic gabled roofs.
• Approximately 489 m² floor area (including conservatory), divided over various multifunctional spaces, a rinse kitchen and technical facilities.
• Monumental conservatory at the rear with views of the surrounding greenery and water, suitable for reception, catering or light work.
• Very easily accessible, both by car and bicycle, with free location on a quiet street in the characteristic outskirts of Amstelveen.

Destination
The property currently has a restaurant destination. However, the municipality of Amstelveen has an initiative to change the zoning plan to a combination of living and working (70% living / 30% business space) or a full use as, for example, office, workshop or business space. This creates a rare opportunity to redesign a monumental building according to one's own views within a spatial and historical framework.

Heritage & location
The property is of cultural-historical and architectural-historical importance, partly due to its location within the original factory site of the gunpowder industry, one of the last in the Netherlands. Surrounded by greenery and water, it forms an attractive enclave between the Amstel River and the polders, with tranquillity, history and inspiration as natural ingredients.

Layout & Experience
Monumental living and working in green surroundings

De Oude Molen 5 is a building that surprises: tough and industrial on the outside, light and atmospheric on the inside. The central main entrance is located in the heart of the building and is framed by a robust brick façade with steel frames - a characterful entrance.

Behind the entrance is a spacious hall with cloakroom, giving access to an impressive open space. High ceilings, sightlines and monumental details create a sense of space and freedom - ideal for a large kitchen diner, a loft-like living room or just a studio, showroom or office space. To the side is a generous toilet group with five toilets, which is also very practical when used as work or reception space.

A fully glazed conservatory has been built at the rear: a lovely place to live, work or receive guests. The conservatory has skylights that can be opened and is shaded by a beautiful floating hay canopy that provides cooling in summer. Adjacent is a large living kitchen with lots of natural light. Right next door is a charming glass greenhouse, originally intended for garden herbs, but also suitable as a workplace, workshop or storage.

The outside area completes it all: a generous, sunny terrace with wooden decking under beautiful plane trees, bordering a pond. Here you are surrounded by greenery, with peace, privacy and space - a rare combination just a few minutes from Amsterdam.

A unique place for those who want stylish living and working in a monumental setting.
