Layout
Ground floor
The impressive property is accessed via a characteristic bridge and driveway. As is traditional with Zaan-region houses, the front door is symmetrically positioned in the centre, though the formal entrance is located at the rear – a charming feature that lends the home a welcoming, village-like character.

The spacious hallway is a warm introduction to the home and provides access to the guest toilet, meter cupboard, and various living areas. The bright living room, with its tall windows and classic fireplace, offers beautiful views over the garden and the water beyond.
Adjacent to the hallway is a separate office or library, ideal for working from home. At the rear of the property, the spacious kitchen-diner features French doors opening to the terrace – a wonderful spot to cook, dine, and relax. A practical utility room is also accessible from the kitchen.

The ground floor also features a generously sized bedroom with its own shower and washbasin – perfect for guests, an au pair, or single-level living.

First floor
A fixed staircase leads to the first floor, where a large landing with a seating or workspace provides access to four well-proportioned bedrooms. The impressive primary suite includes a walk-in closet, while the other rooms can easily serve as children’s rooms, guest rooms, or workspaces. The spacious bathroom includes a bathtub, separate shower, double washbasin, and a second toilet.

Outbuilding, garage & garden
On the property is a detached outbuilding, constructed in 1996, which includes a double garage and a large attic. Thanks to its size and amenities, this space is ideal as a home office, studio, guesthouse, or care unit.

The surrounding garden has been landscaped with great care, offering multiple seating areas, mature greenery, and excellent privacy. The rear of the property borders open water and includes a private jetty – perfect for a sloop, canoe, or motorboat. From here, you can easily explore the scenic waterways of the Zaan region.
