Gein-Noord 88-B1391 HZ AbcoudeAbcoude Buitengebied

Where else can you find—literally just a stone’s throw from Amsterdam—such a unique place where peace, freedom, space, and privacy come together in a very spacious and charming family home spanning no less than 234 m²? A beautiful garden with unobstructed views over the meadows, situated on a lot of over 1.516 m², right in the heart of the Randstad. We may have found that place for you: Gein Noord 88B in Abcoude. Gein Noord 88B comprises the rear section of the farmhouse and was separated and renovated in the 1960s. The original “barn” section still forms an impressive space, where the living room almost feels like a ballroom, with a beautiful view up to the roof structure. The previous owner renovated the home with an emphasis on spacious living areas, but we see even more potential here. With a smart renovation, a living area of approximately 270 m² or more is certainly achievable. This thatched farmhouse (originally the “barn” of the old farm) offers you a unique opportunity to modernize it entirely to your own liking. You won’t be paying for a previous owner’s choices and materials, but rather creating your own dream home here. The foundation is excellent, and with 234 m² of living space, the possibilities are endless. One thing you certainly won’t need to change: the location. It is simply fantastic. Gein Noord 88B is situated in an exceptional location: very central yet right in the heart of the Green Heart. Just 10 minutes from the center of Amsterdam, approximately 35 minutes from Utrecht, and within cycling distance of the charming village of Abcoude, which features a train station, restaurants, shops, and schools for primary and secondary education. Here, you live surrounded by nature. The idyllic little river, the Gein, flows right past your doorstep, from Abcoude toward the Gaasperplas. This is coming home to peace and quiet after a busy workday. This charming thatched-roof home is part of an old cross-wing farmhouse: the original barn section, also known as “the barn.” Along the Gein, you’ll find many old peat meadow farms with a rich, historic charm. Starting in the 17th and 18th centuries, wealthy Amsterdam families had their country estates built here. As a result, the area between Driemond and Abcoude has a unique character: both agricultural and reminiscent of a country estate. The home currently features a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor, a spacious kitchen-diner, a generous entry hall, a very large living room, and an attic floor where multiple rooms can be created. The renovation was carried out thoroughly and with a forward-thinking approach; the home already has an Energy Label C. This means that good insulation is already in place. Of course, you will want to further modernize the home and adapt it to today’s living standards. The lot on which the home stands can, without exaggeration, be called generous. You have no less than 1.516 m² of private land: a green oasis with old fruit trees, a large lawn, and plenty of space for children to play, kick a ball around, or throw parties. And then there’s the view… completely unobstructed across the meadows behind. Simply an amazing place to enjoy the vistas and natural beauty that our wonderful surroundings have to offer, all in complete privacy. Ground Floor Layout You enter the house through the spacious central hallway on the side of the farmhouse. From this hallway, you have access to the bathroom and the kitchen, which is located on the left side of the house and connects to the “barn.” The kitchen has a simple layout. The connections for the washer and dryer are also located in the hallway. The entryway also provides access to the bathroom and bedroom on the ground floor. The spacious bathroom features a bathtub, double sinks, a toilet, and a shower. The bedroom is located directly behind the bathroom and has its own entrance to this space. From the bedroom, you have a view of and access to the back and side gardens. Through the central hallway, you reach the former barn section of the farmhouse, which was converted in the 1970s into an impressively large and bright living room. The original rafters and beams have been beautifully preserved and are fully visible. The large sliding glass doors at the rear immediately catch the eye thanks to the phenomenal view of the garden and the surrounding nature. The connections for the washer and dryer are also located here. The tall windows in the side wall provide beautiful natural light. Here you can create various cozy seating areas or, alternatively, design a spacious living-dining-kitchen area. The possibilities are virtually endless. The living room features a large wood-burning stove that stands prominently in the space, ready for many cozy moments. Floor Plan A straight staircase leads to the upper floor, which is currently used as an attic space. Here you’ll find the central heating system, a sink, and plenty of storage space. This spacious floor offers excellent opportunities for creating one or more bedrooms. If the floor is extended further into the space, even more living area can be created. A viewing is really the only way to truly experience the space and its potential. Shed At the back of the lot stands a large wooden shed with ample space for storage, garden tools, and hobbies. Outdoor space From the road Het Gein, you drive past the front house to the rear plot (right of way). On the side of the farmhouse, there is space to park several cars. With a different layout of the garden, there are also additional options for on-site parking. The garden is an oasis of peace and greenery. Old trees, mature landscaping, and a natural design give the whole property a charming atmosphere. Thanks to the many doors leading outside, the indoors and outdoors blend seamlessly together. Here you can endlessly enjoy the sun, the evening sky over the meadows, and the tranquility of outdoor living. A wonderful place to unwind after a busy day in the city or at work.
