Noorder Sluisstraat 401607 CS HemHem

For sale through De Vliegende Makelaar – Noorder Sluisstraat 40 in Hem Ladies and gentlemen… this is another one of those special properties. A home where space, freedom, a wonderful garden and magnificent unobstructed views across the West Frisian polder landscape come together in a truly exceptional way. A spacious corner house with an attached aluminium garage, an extra-large plot thanks to the current owner having purchased an additional parcel of land, a generous open-plan kitchen and living area, three spacious bedrooms and the possibility of easily creating a fourth bedroom in the attic. Welcome to Noorder Sluisstraat 40 in Hem. But before we step inside, we would first like to tell you a little about the place we are visiting today. Because for those who do not yet know Hem: this is West Friesland at its very best. A wonderful rural village surrounded by meadows, waterways, orchards and the characteristic open polder landscape for which this region is so well known. Here, you can still enjoy genuine peace, space and tranquillity. No hustle and bustle of the big city, but an environment where you look outside in the morning and can truly experience the feeling of openness. Hem is a village with history and character. People have lived here for centuries, and to this day the village still reflects that typical West Frisian atmosphere: friendly, green and rural, yet certainly not isolated. Venhuizen is practically next door and offers a variety of everyday amenities. Hoogkarspel, Enkhuizen and Hoorn are also within easy reach. This means you can enjoy the best of both worlds: peaceful village living while shops, schools, sports facilities and larger towns and cities remain easily accessible. And perhaps that is exactly what makes this property so special. From the rear of the house, you enjoy beautiful views across the expansive polder landscape. Based on the current situation, these views are expected to remain unobstructed, giving you that wonderful sense of space and freedom every single day. Let us take a look inside. Through the entrance, we enter the hallway, where you will find, among other things, a generously sized toilet. From the hallway, we continue into the living room. And the living room is surprisingly spacious and also features French doors opening onto the garden. Because the original kitchen has been incorporated into the living room, an exceptionally generous living space has been created. There is plenty of room to create several seating areas as well as a large dining table. At the heart of the living room is an attractive wood-burning stove. You probably know the feeling: outside, the wind blows across the West Frisian countryside, while inside the fire is burning and you are comfortably enjoying the warmth of your own living room. At the rear of the living room, there is also a recessed convector heater. The remainder of the property is heated by radiators. We then come to one of the absolute highlights of this home: the kitchen with breakfast bar. And ladies and gentlemen… this is not just any kitchen. This is a kitchen that will delight anyone who loves cooking, entertaining and spending time together. The spacious open-plan kitchen features a beautiful sink island and high-quality integrated appliances. Naturally, an induction hob is also included. And for those who enjoy a good glass of wine in the evening, there is even a built-in wine cooler. This is the kind of kitchen where you do much more than simply cook. It becomes the heart of family life. A place where friends gather around the island, where you enjoy your morning coffee and where, during a pleasant evening together, everyone naturally ends up. A kitchen you can truly be proud of. The former utility room has been incorporated into the kitchen, creating even more living space. Behind this area, another practical utility room has been created. Ideal for storage, appliances, the washing machine or simply those everyday items you would rather keep out of sight. And now we step outside. Because an additional parcel of land was purchased in the past, this corner property benefits from an exceptionally generous rear garden. And you notice that immediately. There is plenty of space for gardening, for children to play, for entertaining friends and family or simply for enjoying the peace and quiet. The garden also includes a practical shed for bicycles, garden equipment and additional storage. But at the very back of the garden, the current owner may well have created the most enjoyable spot of the entire property. A beautiful covered veranda. A wonderful place where you can sit outside from early spring onwards and where, on long summer evenings, you may never want to leave. Just imagine it: the working day is over, the sun slowly sets over the polder landscape, you pour yourself a good glass of wine and enjoy the peace, space and views from beneath your own veranda. That is what living at Noorder Sluisstraat 40 is all about. The property also includes an attached aluminium garage. A highly practical addition for anyone wishing to park a car indoors, store bicycles or motorcycles, or simply have additional space for storage or hobbies. Now we head upstairs. On the first floor, you will find no fewer than three very spacious bedrooms. These are not small rooms where you can barely fit a bed, but genuinely generous bedrooms that offer plenty of possibilities. Ideal for a family, but of course equally suitable as a home office, guest room or hobby room. And not to be forgotten: a walk-in dressing room has also been created within the master bedroom. The bathroom is also located on this floor. It is practically laid out and includes a shower and washbasin. But there is still more. A fixed staircase takes us to the attic floor. And here too, there is a considerable amount of space. The attic features two large roof windows, allowing plenty of natural daylight to enter. At present, this is a very useful additional floor for storage or hobbies, but it could relatively easily be converted into a fully-fledged fourth bedroom. This makes the property particularly attractive for larger families as well. Ladies and gentlemen, in our opinion, Noorder Sluisstraat 40 in Hem is a property where you simply have to experience the space and the location for yourself. A corner house with a generous living room, a fantastic open-plan kitchen, wood-burning stove, three spacious bedrooms, a full attic floor, attached garage, large rear garden, covered veranda and those magnificent unobstructed views across the West Frisian landscape. A place where you can enjoy peaceful living, where you have plenty of space around you and where all the amenities of the region remain within easy reach. Noorder Sluisstraat 40 in Hem.
