Jan de Wittestraat 361541 LB Koog aan de ZaanOud Koog

Charming semi-detached home with NEW FOUNDATION in the cozy Oud-Koog neighborhood with ample FREE parking in front of the house! This semi-detached home, with its foundation renewed in 2007, takes you back in time at the Jan de Wittestraat in Koog aan de Zaan. However, don’t be fooled by its nostalgic appearance—executed with precision down to the smallest details. This home meets all modern standards of comfort and even boasts an energy label B! Originally a three bedroom house, now reconfigured into a two bedroom layout, time seems to have stood still here. The wooden ceiling with exposed beams, paneling, open staircase, natural stone flooring, wooden pegs and brackets—all evoke the atmosphere of the past. The living areas on both levels are kept open. Whereas in the past rooms were small and only the kitchen was heated, the wood-burning stove here primarily adds coziness. The home features central heating, with underfloor heating on the ground floor. Upstairs, you'll find an open space with a vaulted ceiling and visible roof structure. Light floods the main bedroom from three sides thanks to the dormers and skylights. A second bedroom and a utility/storage room with the central heating system are also located on this floor. Oud Koog is a beloved neighborhood in Koog aan de Zaan. This child-friendly area is home to many families and offers a range of amenities.
