IJdijk 362063 JT Spaarndam gem. HaarlemOud Spaarndam

Wow, what a gem! A beautifully renovated and wonderfully bright dike house in the old center of picturesque Spaarndam, right on the IJ. A fantastic location, directly opposite the 'Oude Dorpskerk' with its characteristic church square and stunning, unobstructed views over the water. Major highlights include the rear entrance and the private mooring on ‘het IJ’. This exceptionally charming home, dating back to 1890, has been fully renovated and modernized. Everything was taken care of at the time: the electrical system was renewed, and the floors, roof, and walls were insulated. The stunning kitchen is equipped with all modern appliances and offers plenty of storage space. The slightly lower-level living room is a true haven of peace. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural light and provide a breathtaking view over the Spaarndamse IJ. The high French doors open up to the sunny, deep backyard, which features multiple terraces and a dock with a mooring spot. In summer, the water forms a lively place where people come to swim, sail and paddle, creating a wonderful holiday feeling. On the first floor, at the front of the house, you'll find a bedroom with a view of the church. The current owners created this room by adding a partition wall, which can easily be removed to restore the original layout. At the rear of the house, the sleeping area offers a beautiful view over the IJ. A door could be installed here to provide access to the (yet to be constructed) rooftop terrace. In the center of this floor, you’ll find the fully renovated bathroom, complete with a walk-in shower, toilet, and vanity unit. The location is simply amazing! The village of Spaarndam has everything you need: multiple primary schools, after-school care, a supermarket, restaurants, cafés, sports fields, and a marina. The charming 'Kolk' is just 50 meters away, regularly hosting events such as an art market, King’s Day celebrations, and the arrival of Sinterklaas. By bike, you can easily reach Haarlem city center, the Spaarnwoude recreational area, the 'Westbroekplas' lake, the dunes, and the beach. Amsterdam is also very easily accessible, both via major highways and nearby train stations. In summer, the adjacent Kolksluis is open for recreational boating.
