DORPSSTRAAT 25: DETACHED WATERSIDE LIVING IN GRAFT-DE RIJP A DETACHED, HIGHLY ENERGY-EFFICIENT HOME OFFERING GENEROUS INDOOR AND OUTDOOR SPACE, A DEEP SOUTH-FACING GARDEN ON THE WATER AND PRIVATE PARKING. Situated on Dorpsstraat in Graft, the peaceful half of the twin village of Graft-De Rijp, this surprisingly spacious detached home was built in 1976. It offers approximately 171 M² OF LIVING SPACE on a generous 726 M² FREEHOLD PLOT, with three bedrooms on the first floor and a study/bedroom on the ground floor. At the end of the garden, a private deck provides direct access to the navigable waterways of the Eilandspolder. Step out of your garden and straight into your boat or canoe, or head out on a SUP board to explore the surrounding waterways. Over the past few years, the property has been extensively upgraded to improve its energy efficiency, resulting in an excellent A+ ENERGY LABEL. A NIBE AIR-TO-WATER HEAT PUMP provides heating and hot water, while solar panels on both the house and the garage generate a substantial proportion of the electricity used by the household. Gas consumption is minimal. What makes Dorpsstraat 25 particularly appealing is the combination of space, privacy and its waterside setting: a detached home on a large private plot, direct access to navigable water and low energy costs, surrounded by the North Holland polder landscape yet only around fifteen minutes from Alkmaar and Purmerend. LAYOUT GROUND FLOOR The ground floor was completely renovated in 2018. The property has two entrances. The main entrance opens into the hallway with the meter cupboard, guest toilet with washbasin and staircase to the first floor. From the hallway, there is access to the living room, bathroom and study/bedroom. The living room and semi-open-plan kitchen together provide approximately 54 M² OF LIVING SPACE, measuring almost 10 by 5.5 metres. There is plenty of room for both a comfortable seating area and a large dining table. Oak flooring runs throughout the space, exposed wooden beams add character, and the large expanse of glass at the rear creates a wonderful connection between the interior, garden and water beyond. The semi-open-plan kitchen connects directly to the living room. The contemporary white kitchen is equipped with an induction hob, combination oven/microwave, dishwasher, fridge-freezer, Liebherr wine cooler and Quooker. Adjacent to the kitchen is the utility room, which has the property's second entrance on the opposite side of the house. This is the entrance currently used by the owners on a daily basis and is particularly convenient when bringing in groceries. The technical installations are housed separately and neatly out of sight. A major advantage is the FULL BATHROOM ON THE GROUND FLOOR, complete with bathtub, walk-in rain shower, vanity unit, heated illuminated mirror, designer radiator and underfloor heating. At the front of the house is a spacious study/bedroom of more than 18 M², with sliding doors providing direct access outside. Located immediately off the hallway, the room also has its own outside entrance, allowing visitors to enter without passing through the living room. It is currently used as a home practice, with the main entrance serving clients and the sliding doors providing additional independent access. Combined with the ground-floor bathroom, this also makes the property well suited to SINGLE-LEVEL LIVING. FIRST FLOOR The first floor was fully renovated in 2019 and 2020, including the ceilings, electrical wiring, central-heating pipes and radiators. There are three generously sized bedrooms. The two bedrooms above the living room each feature a roof window and a window in the gable wall. New roof windows were installed on the east side in 2025. The bedroom at the front has an impressive ridge height of 3.45 METRES and features a sleeping loft, creating additional space and giving the room a distinctive character. Air conditioning keeps the first floor comfortably cool during the summer and can also provide additional heating in winter. The landing includes a second toilet and a spacious storage cupboard. OUTDOOR LIVING ON THE WATER The deep SOUTH-FACING REAR GARDEN was completely redesigned and professionally landscaped in 2020 and extends all the way to the water. Several seating areas have been created around the house and throughout the garden, offering a choice of sun or shade at different times of the day. Mature trees, lush borders and a Portuguese wood-fired pizza oven with its own log store complete the setting. Wooden gates on both sides of the house provide privacy and enclose the rear garden. At the far end of the garden, a private deck and jetty provide DIRECT ACCESS TO NAVIGABLE WATER. Enjoy your morning coffee by the water, take out a SUP after work or head straight into the Eilandspolder by boat – here, living by the water truly becomes part of everyday life. The sellers' electric aluminium boat may also be available for purchase separately. GARAGE/STORAGE, PARKING AND EV CHARGING The property includes a detached wooden GARAGE/STORAGE BUILDING OF APPROXIMATELY 26 M², with a high pitched roof, double doors and electricity. The building also accommodates the laundry area, with connections for a washing machine and dryer, a sink and hot water. There is ample additional space for bicycles, tools and watersports equipment, or even a private workshop. The driveway provides PRIVATE OFF-STREET PARKING, with an EV CHARGING POINT installed on the side of the house – a particularly convenient feature in a traditional village street. ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND COMFORT Dorpsstraat 25 has an excellent A+ ENERGY LABEL. Since 2023, the property has been heated by a NIBE S2125-12 AIR-TO-WATER HEAT PUMP. A 300-litre hot-water cylinder supplies all hot water for the kitchen, shower and bath. The existing central-heating boiler remains connected as a back-up, resulting in minimal gas consumption. A total of 42 SOLAR PANELS with Enphase micro-inverters are installed on the roofs of the house and garage. Thanks to the heat pump, hot-water cylinder, air conditioning and EV charging point, most of the electricity generated is used directly within the property. The house is well insulated, with sprayed floor insulation beneath the entire ground floor (RD VALUE 5.0 M²K/W, including the foundation walls), roof insulation, cavity-wall insulation and predominantly HR++ double glazing. The radiators are connected to a Danfoss smart heating system, allowing the temperature in each room to be controlled individually via an app. HomeWizard meters provide real-time insight into the electricity consumption of the EV charger and heat pump, as well as water consumption. An AquaCell water softener and mechanical ventilation further enhance everyday comfort. LIVING IN GRAFT-DE RIJP Together with historic De Rijp, Graft forms the twin village of GRAFT-DE RIJP. Until 2015 it was an independent municipality, and today the two villages remain closely connected. Graft is the quieter, more rural half, characterised by traditional architecture, its monumental town hall dating from 1613 and the expansive Eilandspolder on its doorstep. Just a few minutes away by bicycle, De Rijp is the livelier of the two, with its protected historic centre and harbour, supermarket, primary schools, GP practices, sports clubs and a good selection of cafés and restaurants. From Dorpsstraat 25, you can walk, cycle or take your boat straight into the surrounding countryside and waterways. Despite its peaceful setting, the property is conveniently located: ALKMAAR AND PURMEREND ARE BOTH APPROXIMATELY FIFTEEN MINUTES AWAY, while Amsterdam and Schiphol Airport can be reached in just over half an hour via the N244 and A7. The North Sea coast at Egmond and Bergen is around a 30-minute drive away.
