Large detached house that is in excellent condition and has a great location on an open waterway, close to Amsterdam and Haarlem! Are you looking for peace, space and nature, but also don't want to live too far from the big cities? Then this property is for you! This detached dike house (built in 1988) is located in the beautiful ribbon village of Westzaan, bordering on open waterways that are connected to the vast "De Reef" nature reserve. Via the Westzanerdijk, you can bike to the city centre of Zaandam within just 15 minutes and Amsterdam and Haarlem are also very nearby. When you come home, you immediately forget this central location, because what a beautiful and peaceful place this is, surrounded by beautiful countryside. The house is incredibly spacious (218.5 m2) and offers many possibilities for, e.g., a home office/practice/studio, but also for life-cycle proof living. After all, 3 bedrooms as well as the bathroom are located on the ground floor. Ideal for those who would like to live on one floor or be prepared for that. Upstairs, there are another 2 bedrooms and the lower floor with its own kitchen also offers various options for use. Outside, there is also plenty of space in the large garden along 3 sides of the house. At the waterfront, you can easily moor your own sloop so that you can sail out onto the water right from your own garden. Curious about this nice spot with lots of space and possibilities? Come by for a viewing soon! About the location and neighbourhood: This property is located on a quiet road of the ribbon village of Westzaan (South). The village has a central location in the green area between Zaandam, Amsterdam North and Haarlem. The village centre, which includes a supermarket, primary school and various sports clubs, is a 5-minute bike ride away. For a wider range of amenities, you can bike to the centre of Zaandam within 15 minutes, which also offers a railway station with super fast connections to Amsterdam Central Station (12 minutes). The arterial roads (A8, A10 and A7) are also easily accessible. Property layout: Lower floor (garden level): As this is a traditional dyke house, the house has an extra floor below the street level that adjoins the garden on the waterfront. Attached to this floor is a spacious storage room and on both sides of the house there are patio doors that provide direct access to the garden. From the entrance hall, the enclosed (utility) kitchen (kitchenette and connections for the white goods set-up), the stairs leading up and the multifunctional (garden) room are accessible. This extra floor offers numerous possibilities, not only for a cosy garden room with handy utility room, but also for a home office/practice. The many windows provide a nice view towards the garden and over the water. Directly behind the patio doors there is a cosy veranda terrace under a wooden canopy that overlooks the large lawn with orchard (part of the property’s garden). Ground floor (street level): Behind the front door, we find the central entrance hall with wardrobe. On our right, we find the entrance to the living room. The bright living room is located on a corner and has a classic look and feel thanks to its beautiful and extra-high beamed ceiling and its wooden floor. The cosy fireplace forms a central focal point in the room. From the living room, there is access to the kitchen, which is located in a separate room but also offers space for a (dining) table. The kitchen has a modern design with handleless white high-gloss fronts and is equipped with high-quality built-in appliances from Siemens and Liebherr: an induction hob, oven, microwave, fridge, freezer and a dishwasher. An additional hallway next to the kitchen contains the stairs to the lower floor and an exterior door to the balcony terrace located on the garden side of the house. This floor also comprises a total of three bedrooms, as well as a separate storage room, the luxurious bathroom and an additional, separate (guest) toilet with hand basin. The bathroom is equipped with recessed spotlights, a floating toilet, washbasin with double tap and vanity unit, a bathtub and a separate walk-in shower. First floor: Another 2 full- sized bedrooms can be accessed from the landing. Again, we see a classic finish with beautiful construction beams. This floor also has a washbasin and plenty of storage space under the sloping roof. There is a loft ladder to a modest attic. Garden: The house stands on a generous plot and has a large garden along 3 sides of the house. The garden is nicely landscaped and has a varied balance of tiled and decking terraces as well as green borders. A large lawn extends along the side of the house - with beautiful, mature trees and at the back a cute gazebo that serves as a garden shed. Parking: Parking is available in front of the house.
