Unique detached Zaan-style home with rich history and authentic details, 4 bedrooms, and a location near the river De Zaan! A rare opportunity for those seeking a property that seldom comes onto the market. This characteristic Zaan-style home exudes charm, featuring timber-frame construction, traditional sash windows, beautiful loftwork, and a distinctive broker’s ornament on the façade. The property boasts a rich history, with its exact year of construction not even easily traceable. According to tradition, one of the beams is said to bear the year 1702! The interior finish is equally well-maintained and atmospheric. In the living room, the full beam structure is visible, and multiple windows provide pleasant natural light. Despite the charming character of the home, some modernization may be desirable in certain areas. The potential is significant. The bathroom is currently located on the ground floor, along with the open kitchen and an additional bedroom. By, for example, transforming the layout into a fully open space, an ideal living area could be created. On the first floor, there are three bedrooms, as well as a separate second toilet, a spacious loft, and a walk-in closet. From the rear bedroom, you have a view over the river De Zaan. Here too, the possibilities are numerous: from installing a large glass wall and integrating the loft to creating an indoor balcony. In addition, the property features a cozy city garden at the rear. The home is located on the edge of Koog aan de Zaan, bordering Zaandam. Within close proximity, you will find a bakery, a large Albert Heijn supermarket, and several shops. The Koog aan de Zaan train station is within a 10-minute walk, offering direct connections to, among others, Amsterdam Central Station. Additionally, the center and train station of Zaandam can be reached by bike in approximately 10 minutes. The renewed city center of Zaandam offers a wide range of shops, restaurants, and entertainment venues. Major roads are also nearby, with access to the A7, A8, and A10 within minutes. Amsterdam is just a 12-minute drive away, and cities such as Purmerend and Alkmaar are also easily accessible. Layout: Ground floor: entrance at the side of the house. From here, you access the staircase, the open kitchen on the right-hand side, and the living room on the left-hand side. The living room is located at the front of the property.
