SEMI-DETACHED CANAL HOUSE WITH A SUNNY GARDEN IN THE HISTORIC CITY CENTRE OF ALKMAAR Area Oudegracht 17 enjoys a beautiful location where historic charm and vibrant city life come together. The Oudegracht canal was excavated in 1536 as part of Alkmaar's defensive fortifications, forming the city's southern boundary at the time. Following the expansion of the city's fortifications in 1573, the canal became enclosed within the city walls. During the 17th century, the Oudegracht developed into one of Alkmaar's most prestigious canals, lined with elegant merchant houses and monumental buildings that still define its historic character today. The immediate surroundings offer a wide variety of charming cafés, restaurants, boutiques and all daily amenities. At the same time, you can enjoy the tranquillity and unique atmosphere of this historic canal. Thanks to its central location, Alkmaar railway station, public transport and major roads, including the A9 motorway, are all within easy reach. Layout The entrance hall, with meter cupboard, leads into the surprisingly bright living room, offering beautiful views over the Oudegracht, one of Alkmaar's most picturesque canals. The living room flows seamlessly into the open-plan kitchen, creating an inviting living space where cooking and relaxing come together. Adjacent to the living area are the separate toilet and access to the sunny rear garden. The garden faces south, allowing you to enjoy the sunshine throughout much of the day. First Floor A fixed staircase, featuring a charming characteristic round window, leads to the first floor. Here you will find two comfortable bedrooms, both overlooking the Oudegracht—a wonderful view to wake up to every morning. The bathroom is equipped with a second toilet, a washbasin unit and a walk-in shower. The landing also provides a practical utility/storage room housing the central heating installation. This property is ideal for buyers with vision. While the interior would benefit from modernisation, it offers the perfect opportunity to renovate and finish the home entirely to your own taste.
