Abbenbroekstraat 391507 KD ZaandamWesterwatering Noord

In all of Westerwatering, there are only a few streets with houses by the water and a south-facing garden. And that’s remarkable, because sun and water make a golden combination. One of these houses is located on Abbenbroekstraat, just around the corner from the shopping center. The house itself also offers many advantages: four bedrooms, a fully equipped bathroom, a garden-facing living room, and a good kitchen with built-in appliances. This home is a rare opportunity in the Zaan region! Westerwatering was designed primarily for families, with commuters in mind. The entire infrastructure has been adapted to this. Both by car and public transport. The bus stops around the corner, and the NS train station is just over five minutes away by bike. From there, you can take the Intercity to Amsterdam, Alkmaar, and Hoorn. By car, there is excellent access to the motorways around Amsterdam, and the provincial roads to Haarlem and Schiphol. Westerwatering has its own shopping center with Albert Heijn, fresh produce shops, and specialty stores. You can easily walk there via Volendamstraat. Primary and secondary schools (pre-vocational and vocational education), as well as daycare, a play paradise, and a petting zoo, can also be found in the neighborhood. But what truly makes an area child-friendly? Playgrounds, traffic safety, the surrounding nature reserve, and of course lots of other children to play with! Layout: Ground floor: The house is slightly hidden behind two beautiful trees, so walk on to discover the rest. At the front, you’ll find a brick shed for bikes and other belongings. Your eye will then catch the covered entrance with its classic front door. What a picture! In the hallway, the atmosphere is set by the panel doors, the high wainscoting, and the wooden floor. To the left is the toilet, with a wall-mounted closet and a small sink. And the handy storage space under the stairs? That’s accessible from the living room! The garden-facing living room, with large south-facing windows, is a wonderfully cozy living space with room for a large corner sofa, sideboard, dining table, and cabinet. Just like in the hallway and kitchen, the wooden floor fits with various interior styles. At the front is the kitchen, with the cooking and washing area by the window. On the opposite side is a tall wall of cabinets, making excellent use of the space. With a built-in 5-burner gas hob, extractor hood, dishwasher, fridge/freezer combination, oven, and microwave, this kitchen is very complete. First floor: This floor has three bedrooms, two of which are at the rear. These are the master bedroom and a spacious children’s room, both overlooking the water. The third bedroom, at the front, is also used as a child’s room. Next to this room is the stylish bathroom (renovated in 2020) with a bathtub, walk-in shower, and a second toilet. The washbasin with cabinet and mirror fits in beautifully. Second floor: A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, where you’ll find a landing and the fourth bedroom. On the landing, by the roof window, is the laundry area. The fourth bedroom, with a roof window at the rear, is a lovely space with storage on both sides in the sloping roof. Additional storage is also available in the attic, perfect for holiday items and cherished keepsakes stored away “for later.” Garden: The front garden, with paving and two trees, gives the house great curb appeal. And the back garden, facing south? It’s just as radiant, thanks to its sunny orientation and smart layout! There’s a spacious terrace, artificial grass, and attractive planting. But the absolute highlight is the deck by the water, where you can lounge, fish, or perhaps step onto a standup paddle (you can even skate around the neighbourhood if the winter conditions are right!). Looking across, you’ll see that the apartment building stands a bit further back than the other buildings along Langeweide.
