Herenstraat 363621 AR BreukelenBreukelen Midden

Located on the beloved Herenstraat, right in the heart of Breukelen’s historic center, stands this striking and surprisingly spacious property zoned for residential and retail use. At the front, you’re immersed in the village’s lively atmosphere, while at the back, a completely different world awaits: a deep garden right on the Vecht River, with its own dock and a view that never gets old. For many residents of Breukelen, this property is a household name. For years, the well-known shop De Strekkende Meter was located here. It has since moved to another location, creating an opportunity to give this special property a new future. What immediately stands out is the amount of space. Behind the characteristic facade lies no less than approximately 171 m² of usable floor area—a size you wouldn’t immediately expect from the street side. The property therefore offers plenty of possibilities for various living and usage needs. The current zoning is for residential and retail use, making a combination of living and working an excellent possibility. At the same time, the property offers interesting prospects for buyers who wish to use the building entirely as a residence. Several comparable properties in this row have already been successfully converted to full residential use. Since the property is not directly located on Kerkbrink, such a change is a potential option, subject to municipal approval, of course. Although the property has been maintained over the years, a buyer should anticipate the need for modernization and a redesign of the ground floor and first floor. The current layout, in fact, stems in part from its former use as a retail space. However, that is precisely where the strength of this property lies: the opportunity to design the space entirely to your own vision. Imagine a spacious kitchen-diner with a view over the Vecht, multiple living areas, a home office, or a complete family home in one of the most beautiful spots in the village. The backyard is undoubtedly one of the absolute highlights. Deep, sunny, and situated directly on the Vecht. Here you can enjoy peace, privacy, and a beautiful view of the water, while the charming village center is literally just around the corner. On summer days, boats glide by, and you can head straight out onto the water from your own dock. The first floor features three bedrooms and a bathroom. Additionally, there is a practical attic for extra storage space.
