A Charming and characterful extended three-room family home (approx. 70 m²), where authentic details, a surprisingly spacious layout and modern living comfort come together naturally. The property stands on perpetually prepaid leasehold land. Tucked away in the popular Tuindorp Oostzaan neighbourhood is this attractive home featuring both a front and rear garden, two bedrooms, a practical attic storage space and a separate storage shed. A home that may appear cosy at first glance, yet feels surprisingly spacious inside. Layout Ground floor Through the front garden, featuring a cherry tree, you reach the entrance. Behind the front door is the hallway with the utility meter cupboard, staircase to the upper floor and access to the living room. As soon as you enter the living room, the special combination of space, natural light and character immediately stands out. The dual-aspect living room allows daylight to flow throughout the entire ground floor. At the front, you enjoy an open outlook, while at the rear the living area flows seamlessly into the dining area and garden. The exposed beams give the ceiling an authentic character and, together with the oak flooring, create a warm and inviting atmosphere. The stylish panelling behind the dining table is a distinctive eye-catcher and adds that extra touch of character to the space. Combined with the large windows, abundant natural light and warm flooring, this creates a living room with a particularly pleasant ambience. It is exactly the kind of space where you can easily picture yourself living: enjoying a cup of coffee at the table in the morning, letting the sunshine stream in during the day and lingering over dinner in the evening. The practical understairs cupboard provides additional storage space. There is also a wall-mounted toilet with a washbasin. At the rear of the house is the kitchen. Thanks to its position overlooking the garden, the connection with the outdoors can be felt throughout the space. The kitchen is equipped with various appliances, including a SMEG six-burner gas cooker with oven, extractor hood, dishwasher and fridge-freezer. The recessed niche offers space for cookbooks, attractive storage jars and everything you like to keep within easy reach. From the kitchen, you can step straight into the garden. Garden Measuring approximately 40 m², the garden offers plenty of space for a large dining table, a comfortable lounge area and greenery. The palm tree and magnolia give the garden an almost Mediterranean atmosphere. Outdoor living comes naturally here. Enjoy breakfast in the morning sun, drinks with friends or a long dinner with the family; this garden simply invites you to make the most of it. Practicality has also been carefully considered. At the rear of the garden is a separate brick storage shed of approximately 5.4 m². The garden can also be accessed via a lockable alleyway used exclusively by local residents. First floor The landing provides access to both bedrooms, the bathroom and a practical area for the washing machine and dryer. At the front is a pleasant bedroom, currently used as a child’s room. At the rear is the surprisingly spacious principal bedroom. Thanks to the large windows, both rooms benefit from plenty of natural light. A wonderful place to start and end the day. The bathroom was completely renovated in 2018 and exudes modern luxury. A spacious walk-in shower with rain shower, a large washbasin and a second wall-mounted toilet provide excellent comfort. The black taps and carefully selected details give the room a stylish, contemporary look. Attic A fixed corner staircase leads to the attic space, which has a ridge height of approximately 1.71 metres. Ideal for storing everything you do not need on a daily basis, such as suitcases, Christmas decorations, sports equipment, paperwork or household supplies. Or perhaps you see this as the perfect space for a hobby room, home office or creative workspace. The central heating boiler and mechanical ventilation unit are also located here.
