“Het Doktershuis” is an exceptional historic residence in a unique location at the end of Marktstraat. With an impressive living area of approximately 372 m² and a plot of 1,135 m², this remarkable property offers not only an extraordinary amount of space, but also character, privacy and a rich history. The original residence dates back to 1850 and has been carefully maintained and modernised over the years, with great attention paid to preserving its authentic appearance. Characteristic details have been meticulously preserved and, where necessary, even reinstated. At the same time, the property has been adapted to modern living standards, including improvements to its installations and insulation. Over the past year, the bathroom has been completely renovated, the entire interior has been repainted and the wooden floors have been sanded and varnished. The result is a wonderful combination of historic charm and comfortable, practical living. Surrounding the property is a spacious, park-like garden offering plenty of privacy, as well as a double garage. The location of the residence is both distinctive and prominent. Positioned perpendicular to Marktstraat, the property forms a striking focal point at the end of the street. Directly behind the plot lies the historic cemetery, which is designated as a municipal monument and is now also used as a public walking park. The grounds are closed to visitors after 4:00 PM, contributing to the peace and privacy surrounding the property. At the front, there are unobstructed views along Marktstraat towards the River Zaan. Despite its peaceful setting, the property is situated right in the heart of Wormerveer. Shops around Marktplein and along the Zaanbocht, the weekly Wednesday market, schools and the railway station are all within easy reach. There are also excellent connections to the A8, A10 and A9 motorways.
