Lingerzijde 391135 AN EdamEdam-Oude kom

Unique mansion with a rich history and tea house on the canal, in the heart of Edam. Welcome to Lingerzijde 39. Upon arrival, you will immediately notice that you are dealing with a special object here. The house is a national monument, built in 1860 and used as an official residence. With an impressive width of almost 12 meters and an elegant entrance, the facade is a stately appearance. The house has two floors, a stylized cornice facade and a large, arched roof structure. Completely renovated while retaining the historical character; The current owners purchased the property in 2017, after years of neglect. A thorough renovation was carried out in 2018, with no expense or effort spared to restore the house to its full glory. Modern conveniences such as underfloor heating, gas fireplaces and high-quality equipment have been added, without detracting from the authentic atmosphere. Impressive entrance; Behind the wide front door is a spacious hall that covers the entire depth of the house. The floor is fitted with original white marble tiles. On either side are high, steel doors of no less than 3.80 meters — fitted with glass windows, allowing the light to flow freely. On the right you will find the spacious wardrobe and the first toilet, as well as access to the stairs and elevator to the upper floors. Front room; The first room on the hall side is the front room, currently used as a living room. The generous size immediately catches the eye. The room is furnished with a 3-meter-long sofa and offers space for several comfortable seats. Original ceiling ornaments and a beautifully designed gas fireplace integrated into the mantelpiece enhance the character of the room. The large windows at the front have beautifully crafted woodwork, and the original interior shutters are discreetly concealed in the wall. Of course, the oak fishbone floor is also present here. Back room; Through the en-suite doors you enter the back room, equal in size to the front room. Here too there are original ornaments and a gas fireplace. This room has a slightly more formal character - ideal for receiving guest or relaxing. At the rear, four French doors, up to the ceiling, give access to the terrace. Kitchen; The kitchen is accessible via the hall. Here you will find a very spacious living kitchen, with a rinsing island of 1.10 x 2.50 meters. The original fireplace - where until recently a wood-burning stove stood - has been replaced by a modern 6-burner stove with baking tray and three ovens. On the wall are authentic 'whites', tiles, that are difficult to obtain original. Along the side and back wall are tall cabinets with mainly glass doors - good for a sea of storage space. Built-in are, among other things, two fridge-freezers, a coffee machine and a microwave. From the kitchen, French doors also provide access to the terrace. Garden with tea house on the canal; You reach the garden via a second steel door in the hall. You step onto the south-east facing terrace. The garden, which has a protected design, fits in perfectly with the stately character of the house. On the canal side is the former 'tea house', where in the past informal visitors were formally received. Today it functions as an office, with a phenomenal view over the canal. A staircase leads down to the water, where you have your own mooring. From here there is a passage to the IJsselmeer, and access to the beautiful nature of the polder. For the water sports enthusiast this offers endless possibilities. First floor; Back in the hall, you reach the first floor via stairs or elevator. You arrive at the landing with toilet, stairs to the second floor and access to the rooms. Here too, a long hall runs the entire depth of the house. Each room has its own wall covering, upholstery and finish, entirely in the style of the 19th century. Office/Library; The first room is used as an office. The fishbone floor is beautifully reflected here, as are the ceiling ornaments and original mantelpiece. The walls are fitted with bookcases up to the ceiling, which gives the room the character of a library. Master Bedroom; Via a corridor with two walk-in closets with built-in lighting on either side, you reach the master bedroom. The room is spacious, equipped with a double bed, linen cupboard and sitting area. The fishbone floor, mantelpiece and ornaments are also reflected here. Bathroom; The bathroom is a real eye-catcher. The floor is finished with mosaic tiles and a large mirror in a richly decorated frame hangs against the wall. A freestanding bath is centrally located, surrounded by plants, which creates an almost tropical atmosphere. There is also a walk-in shower and a washbasin with double washbasins. Second floor; On the top floor you first enter the hall, where a skylight provides natural light. At the front is a characteristic dome-shaped dormer. There is a separate laundry room, also with a skylight, with space for several washing machines and dryers. Guest room; Through an intermediate door you reach the spacious attic room, currently furnished as a guest room with its own bathroom. The room has a warm appearance, partly due to the deep-pile carpet and the deep blue wall color. The visible roof trusses give extra charm. With four skylights and a dome dormer on the garden side, there is plenty of daylight. The total floor area is approx. 98 m² – this makes alternative layouts, such as creating two or three bedrooms, easily possible.
