Monumental townhouse on Kornputsingel – living between the historic town centre and Rams Woerthe city park Situated on the characteristic Kornputsingel, in Steenwijk’s attractive ‘Golden Bend’, stands this stately listed monumental townhouse, comprising a basement level and three spacious residential floors. A property that impresses not only with its striking façade and authentic character, but above all with its exceptional location: the vibrant and historic centre of Steenwijk at the front, and water, greenery and the tranquillity of Rams Woerthe city park at the rear. Here, you quite literally live where town and park meet. An exceptional location in Steenwijk Kornputsingel is one of Steenwijk’s most characteristic streets. Its varied collection of monumental properties and distinctive façades creates an elegant and historic streetscape, with the town centre, shops and terraces just beyond. The rear of the property offers a wonderful contrast. The deep west-facing garden borders the water and enjoys a remarkably open position towards Rams Woerthe city park. Together with the monumental Villa Rams Woerthe, this historic park forms one of Steenwijk’s most attractive green areas. Mature trees, winding paths, water features and landscaped grounds create an almost rural atmosphere right in the heart of town. It is precisely this combination that makes the location so special: at the front, you live on the edge of the town centre, while at the rear you enjoy greenery, privacy and tranquillity. Thanks to the west-facing position, the garden also benefits from sunshine well into the evening. The current owners particularly appreciate this unique combination of town-centre living and the peace and natural surroundings at the rear. It is wonderfully quiet here, with a wide variety of birdlife and even the occasional squirrel. Basement level – spacious kitchen-diner with direct access to the garden The basement forms a fully functional residential level and, due to the difference in ground level, opens directly and at garden level onto the rear garden. This floor accommodates the spacious kitchen-diner: an inviting room where cooking, dining and spending time together naturally come together. From the kitchen, you can walk straight outside. Immediately behind the house is an attractive covered veranda, providing a sheltered outdoor living area that can be enjoyed from early spring until well into autumn. Beyond the veranda, the garden extends towards the water and the greenery of Rams Woerthe. Adjoining the kitchen is a large utility/storage room with space for, among other things, the washing machine, tumble dryer and heating system. A highly practical addition to a townhouse of this size. Main floor – monumental entrance, impressive rooms and conservatory From Kornputsingel, the property is accessed at street level. The characteristic entrance immediately reveals the atmosphere of the house, with an attractive hallway, monumental staircase and toilet. The spacious main reception room was originally arranged en suite and features two fireplaces. At the front, sound-insulating HR glazing ensures that surprisingly little of the activity outside can be heard indoors. At the rear, the living space flows into a beautiful conservatory extending across almost the full width of the property. This is where the exceptional setting can be appreciated to the fullest, with abundant natural light and attractive views across the garden, water and greenery beyond. There is also a compact kitchenette on this floor. The main kitchen and dining area is situated on the basement level. First floor – three bedrooms and complete bathroom The monumental staircase leads to the first floor. Here too, several distinctive original details have been retained, including a characteristic round window that provides attractive natural light. There are three bedrooms on this floor. The bedroom at the rear provides access to a small balcony/roof terrace, again overlooking the garden and greenery. The bathroom is fitted with a bathtub, separate shower and two washbasins. There is also a separate toilet, featuring another of the property’s attractive and characteristic round windows. Second floor – fourth bedroom and plenty of additional space A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, where the fourth bedroom is located. This floor also features a very spacious landing. Its generous dimensions offer various possibilities: it could be used as a home office or study, hobby room, playroom or potentially as an additional room. Naturally, it also provides ample storage space. Passageway and storage areas Directly next to the front door is a private passageway, providing access to the practical bicycle storage area. In addition, on the basement level, directly next to the veranda, there is a separate storage room. Altogether, the property offers a surprising amount of practical storage space. Living in a listed national monument A listed national monument is much more than simply a house with a history. It means living in a property whose character and architecture have been officially recognised as worthy of preservation. The distinctive façade, proportions of the rooms, monumental staircase, fireplaces and characteristic windows create an atmosphere and residential experience that is almost impossible to reproduce in modern construction. Owning a monumental property requires consideration for the preservation of its historic features, but it can also offer opportunities. Subject to certain conditions, financing, subsidies and other forms of support may be available for the maintenance and restoration of listed national monuments. For current information and applicable conditions, we refer interested parties to the Nationaal Restauratiefonds (Dutch National Restoration Fund) and the relevant government authorities.
