This transformation project in Deventer offers a unique opportunity to live on the ground floor of the former Zandhuis & Zwart machine factory. Nearly every resident of Deventer knows this iconic building from 1928. The home combines industrial charm with modern comfort: high ceilings, steel beams, and aluminum window frames reflect its history, while the A+++ energy label and private garden provide sustainable and comfortable living for the future.
Industrial Living
Through the shared entrance—used by just two other homes—you enter a space defined by light and openness. The impressive 3.7-meter-high ceilings and large windows create an airy, spacious feel. Authentic details such as the steel and wooden beams and the original overhead hoist with chain recall the building’s industrial past, while the contemporary finishes ensure modern comfort. In the living room, a stylish wood-and-glass partition adds functionality without compromising openness—ideal as a home office or guest room. The property is delivered with a polished anthracite concrete floor and smooth, paint-ready walls, offering a perfect foundation for further interior design. The bathroom and toilet are fully completed. Buyers can opt for a modern kitchen with an island and built-in AEG appliances (including an induction hob with integrated extractor, dishwasher, combi-oven, and fridge-freezer), available from €12,800.
Energy-Efficient Living
The home is fully insulated and equipped with a heat pump, heat recovery system (MVHR), HR++ glazing, underfloor heating and cooling, and an A+++ energy label. Additional solar panels can be installed upon request, raising the label to A++++ for an additional €4,000.
Outdoor Space
French doors provide direct access to the private 25 m² garden, which will be delivered with tiled flooring. The garden borders a communal courtyard, the use of which will be jointly determined by the future homeowners. The courtyard is enclosed by a steel gate, and bicycles can be securely stored in the shared bike shed. Don’t let the nearby railway deter you from a viewing: a noise barrier has been installed, ensuring that passing trains are barely audible—even from the garden. The windows facing the Veenweg are fitted with soundproof HR++ glass.
Location
The home is situated on the Veenweg in Deventer, a characteristic street just a short distance from the historic city center. Here, you enjoy peaceful living with the convenience of shops, public transport, and major roads nearby—all just a few minutes’ bike ride from the vibrant heart of the city.
