Spacious corner home with potential, located in the popular “Bloemenbuurt” in Koog aan de Zaan – up to four bedrooms possible Troelstraplein 37 in Koog aan de Zaan is known to many long-time locals as “the little shop”. This characteristic 1930s property has a rich history. The front portion once served as a dairy store, while the rear was used as storage and living space. In recent years, time has stood still somewhat, but the foundation is solid: a generous ground floor, three well-sized bedrooms on the first floor, and an attic with great potential. With a few layout changes, four or even five bedrooms could easily be created. On the side of the house, there is a spacious garage in addition to an internal storage room, ideal for storing items. In short, this is a fantastic opportunity to fully adapt this charming 1930s home to your own style and needs. The property is located in the family-friendly Bloemenbuurt.
