Leghornstraat 171109 BW AmsterdamDorp Driemond

A wonderfully light and well-designed family home of approximately 127 m², situated in the charming village of Driemond, on the outskirts of Amsterdam. With five bedrooms, a modern kitchen, a renovated bathroom, a lovely southwest-facing garden and private parking on the property, this house has a great deal to offer. Built in 1987, the property has been updated and improved in various ways over the past few years. The kitchen and bathroom have been modernised, two dormer windows have created significantly more space on the top floor, and considerable attention has been paid to sustainability. The property now benefits from an A energy rating, 20 solar panels and a fully electric heating system. A lovely combination of space, everyday comfort and peaceful village living, with Amsterdam within easy reach. A little tour. WELCOME At the front of the property is a private driveway with space to park a car. The entrance opens into a hallway with a spacious built-in coat cupboard, the meter cupboard, a separate WC with washbasin, the staircase to the first floor and access to the living area. What was once a storage room has now been transformed into an insulated music studio. LIVING & COOKING Upon entering the living room, the pleasant natural light immediately stands out. The room is generously proportioned, with a large window and French doors at the rear opening onto the garden. This creates a lovely connection between indoors and outdoors. There is plenty of room for a comfortable seating area and a generous dining table for long dinners with family and friends. The neutral colour scheme, light flooring and views of the garden give the living room a calm and welcoming feel. At the front of the house is the kitchen, renovated in 2022. A modern, light-coloured kitchen with ample cupboard space and generous worktops on both sides. The kitchen is fully equipped with a range of built-in appliances, including an induction hob, extractor hood, oven, fridge-freezer, dishwasher and Quooker. The practical layout provides plenty of workspace and storage, while the large window allows natural light to flood in and offers views of the street. The kitchen is separate from the living room, giving cooking and relaxing their own distinct spaces. STEP OUTSIDE French doors from the living room open directly onto the southwest-facing rear garden. The garden has been attractively landscaped with paving and planted borders, offering ample space for a large outdoor dining table and a comfortable seating area. A lovely spot for a morning coffee or long summer evenings outdoors. The retractable awning provides welcome shade on warmer days. Thanks to its southwest-facing position, the garden enjoys plenty of afternoon and evening sunshine. SLEEPING & ME-TIME The first floor accommodates three well-proportioned bedrooms and the bathroom. The principal bedroom is situated at the rear and provides access to the balcony. There is ample space for a large double bed and a generous wardrobe. The second bedroom is equally suitable as a children's bedroom, home office or guest room. The bathroom was renovated around 2020/2021 and has a fresh, timeless appearance. The large white wall tiles and understated finishes work beautifully with the vanity unit and spacious walk-in shower, fitted with a glass screen, rainfall shower and handheld shower. The bathroom also includes a toilet. ONE MORE FLOOR A further two bedrooms are located on the top floor. The installation of two uPVC dormer windows in 2011 has created significantly more space on this level. In 2021, the attic floor was divided into two separate rooms, both benefiting from the generous windows in the dormers. An ideal arrangement for a family with several children, or for those looking for a separate home office. This floor also features a practical laundry room with connections for a washing machine and dryer, a washbasin and additional storage space beneath the sloping roof on both sides. SURROUNDINGS VILLAGE LIVING, WITH AMSTERDAM CLOSE BY Driemond is a rather special part of Amsterdam. A small village situated along the River Gaasp, where life moves at a slightly different pace from the city. An area with a character of its own, plenty of greenery and a peaceful residential atmosphere. Surrounded by water and green countryside, the village offers numerous opportunities for walking, running and cycling. Beautiful routes lead along the Gaasp and towards the Gein, through the surrounding countryside. The nearby towns of Weesp and Diemen also offer a wide range of shops, restaurants, cafés and everyday amenities. For families, Driemond is an attractive place to live, combining village charm with various facilities in the surrounding area. And despite its wonderfully peaceful setting, the city is never far away. Amsterdam-Zuidoost, Diemen and Weesp are all easily accessible. The main roads leading to the A1, A9 and A10 are also within convenient reach. A special place for those who appreciate a quieter way of life without losing their connection to Amsterdam. COMFORT & SUSTAINABILITY Considerable investment has been made in improving the property's energy efficiency over the past few years, resulting in a definitive A energy rating. In October 2020, the external walls were additionally insulated using Aminotherm. The ground floor was also retrofitted with PIF insulation foil from the crawl space that same year. Furthermore, the property benefits from insulating glazing, including HR++ double glazing in the dormer windows. The property has now been completely disconnected from the gas network and is heated electrically by infrared heating panels installed throughout the various rooms. The hot water supply is also fully electric. The kitchen is equipped with a Quooker, while an electric instantaneous water heater provides hot water elsewhere in the house. The roof accommodates 20 solar panels with a combined registered capacity of 6,491 Wp. The panels are privately owned and will remain with the property. Together, these installations and additional insulation measures have contributed to the property's current A energy rating.
