Detached Character Home with the Charm of the Past and the Sustainability of Today (Energy Label A) This charming detached house combines the character of yesteryear with modern sustainability features, including an energy label A rating. It features a side extension, a rear extension, and offers unobstructed views at the back. The property has been fitted with a new foundation, so the only thing left to worry about is decorating the interior to your own taste. The home underwent a thorough renovation several years ago, which included—among other things—the foundation, the extensions, the façade, windows, roof, bathroom, and kitchen. This house also offers the potential for ground-floor living by converting the current storage room into a bedroom. Additionally, it’s well-suited for two (smaller) households (e.g., parents and children) or for combining living and working under one roof. Location – Kerkstraat, Oostzaan Kerkstraat in Oostzaan is a charming and atmospheric street where the village feel is still very much alive. Located in the heart of the village, it's close to shops, schools, and other amenities, making it a highly desirable place to live. The street features a mix of characteristic 1930s homes and modern new-build projects that harmonize with the existing streetscape. Traffic has been reduced in the area with time-based restrictions to prevent cut-through traffic, contributing to the peace and livability of the neighborhood. A new project is underway to create a small water park situated in and behind the open space between existing buildings. This park will include walking paths and water features. The southern section will be open to the public and designed as a tranquil area with a pond surrounded by walking paths. Another section will be closed to the public to allow nature to thrive undisturbed. This area is intended to act as a water retention zone, helping to manage water levels in times of heavy rainfall. On the north side, additional greenery will be created with scenic views for walkers, though access will be restricted to preserve the natural habitat. In short: no new construction will take place near this property. About Oostzaan Oostzaan is a welcoming town with a cozy village center featuring restaurants, cafes, terraces, and shops.
