Charming Freestanding Townhouse in the Heart of Abcoude – Fully Renovated and Energy Efficient This beautifully renovated (2021–2022) and well-insulated freestanding townhouse is located in the heart of Abcoude. A unique opportunity for those seeking a spacious and characterful home dating back to 1880, offering the comfort of a recent high-quality renovation while preserving the charm of authentic features. The renovation was carried out with great care, retaining the house’s character beautifully. Original stained-glass doors, high ornamented ceilings, and the elegant staircase have all been meticulously restored. At the same time, the house meets modern standards: all window frames have been replaced and fitted with double glazing, providing excellent insulation and comfort. The property has been extended at the rear, creating additional living space on the ground floor. Above the extension is space for a generous rooftop terrace with views over the recently landscaped backyard. A notable bonus is the basement, part of which is currently used as a Bed & Breakfast. This space has a private entrance, making it ideal as a home office or practice. Of course, it can also easily be re-integrated into the main house to provide additional living area or serve as a guest suite. Layout You enter through a gate into the front garden and up a stone staircase to the raised ground floor. The impressive hallway features high ceilings and provides access to a separate toilet. At the front is a bright sitting room with views over Stationsstraat. This room is directly connected to the rear dining area via the original stained-glass sliding doors. Together, these spaces form an atmospheric, open yet character-rich layout. The open kitchen includes an island, induction hob, two ovens, dishwasher, and a large oven – ideal for cooking enthusiasts or hosting guests. The kitchen opens onto the future rooftop terrace above the extension via three French doors.

Location Stationsstraat is located on the dike of the picturesque little river ‘t Gein and is truly one-of-a-kind. The dike leads from the old village directly into the countryside of ‘t Gein. This street is one of the five most characteristic streets in old Abcoude and exudes a distinct 19th-century village charm. Almost all buildings here are part of a protected village heritage zone. Abcoude is surrounded by beautiful countryside and offers excellent opportunities for walking, cycling, and water recreation on the nearby Abcoudermeer. Despite its rural charm, the village is just a few kilometers from Amsterdam and boasts excellent amenities including shops, specialty stores, primary schools, daycares, restaurants, sports clubs (hockey, football, tennis), an indoor swimming pool, music schools, a theater, and a golf course. Every August, the popular Abcoude festival week takes place, featuring numerous events and a fair. It is an ideal place for families and those who want to enjoy the good life near the city yet in a charming, rural village setting. Abcoude has direct access to the A2 and A9 highways, making it very convenient for commuting to Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport, and Utrecht. The NS train station is within walking distance and provides excellent connections to both Amsterdam and Utrecht. Amsterdam Amstel Station, for example, is just a 12-minute train ride from Abcoude. In summer or even during harsh winters, living in Abcoude is a delight. You are within cycling distance of the Vinkeveense Plassen, a popular lake area with swimming islands and cozy restaurants. With a (small) boat, you can quickly reach Amsterdam, the Vinkeveense Plassen, or the Vecht via the Angstel or ‘t Gein rivers.
