Handiness Wanted! Behind this characteristic façade lies a hidden gem ready to shine! Now for sale: this detached waterfront home, just 20 minutes from Amsterdam, brimming with potential. Think of a generous 540 m² plot, private on-site parking, a sunny west-facing garden, and, at the front, a lovely view of the charming neighbourhood park. Add to that two large outbuildings—together offering over 110 m² GFA—and you’ve got a unique opportunity that will instantly spark your imagination. Layout As is common local practice, you don’t enter this charming home through the stately front door, but nice and simply through the “klompenhossie” at the rear—where you’ll also find the toilet. The house was lovingly renovated in the 1970s and is now waiting to be refreshed again to meet modern living standards. On the ground floor, a spacious living area was created at the time, with an open kitchen and living room playfully separated by an impressive fireplace. The result: a surprising amount of space and wonderful natural light. From the cosy bay window, you also enjoy a beautiful open view of the street and the park. On the first floor are two bedrooms. The master bedroom offers direct access to the spacious, functional bathroom—practical and comfortable. This floor features attractive rooms and offers plenty of opportunities to turn it into a contemporary, atmospheric living level. And then there’s the attic: currently accessible via a loft ladder but surprisingly spacious, with good standing height in the centre. It is simply finished at the moment, but the potential is clear. Think of an extra bedroom, hobby room, or home office—the possibilities are literally within reach! Garages and Outbuildings On the property are two large detached sheds, measuring approximately 62 m² and 47 m² GFA. The largest one, at the front, offers enough height for a full upper floor, though it does require some maintenance. The shed at the back of the plot is a former cattle barn. Both outbuildings offer ample possibilities for storage, a workshop, hobby space, or other practical uses, making them a valuable addition to the home and the property as a whole. We recommend you start looking for a new hobby soon! Plot The property sits on a lovely, deep lot with a wide front garden, plenty of on-site parking, and a generous back garden. You can redesign it entirely to your own taste to fully enjoy the outdoor space. At the rear, the garden borders onto navigable water, adding a wonderful sense of peace and freedom. Surroundings Ilpendam is a cosy and characteristic Waterland village with a pleasant, tranquil atmosphere. The village offers a primary school, childcare, sports clubs, a GP practice, and the local pub Het Wapen van Ilpendam. For daily groceries, there are small shops in the village, and larger supermarkets are just a few minutes’ drive away. The location is ideal: Amsterdam and Purmerend can both be reached in about 15 minutes. In addition, there are excellent public transport connections to Amsterdam, allowing you to enjoy rural tranquillity with perfect accessibility.
