WATERFRONT LIVING ON FREEHOLD LAND – A UNIQUE OPPORTUNITY IN THE VOGELENBUURT!
Have you always dreamed of living on the waterfront, with your own sloop or sailing boat moored right outside your home? Then this is your opportunity! Situated in one of the most beautiful locations in the highly sought-after Vogelenbuurt in Westzaan, this charming freehold property enjoys a sunny south-facing garden and a stunning position on the edge of the neighbourhood. A home that offers the perfect opportunity to modernise to your own taste while enjoying peace, nature and freedom every single day.
Moor your boat, canoe or paddleboard directly at your own private jetty and sail straight into the beautiful De Reef Nature Reserve. This stunning area is a paradise for nature lovers, home to meadow birds, cows, sheep, spoonbills and marsh harriers. Fancy a longer trip? Through the nearby locks you can reach the North Sea Canal, Alkmaardermeer and the River Zaan.
A WONDERFUL HOME WITH ENDLESS POTENTIAL
The current owner has enjoyed living here for over 50 years and has always maintained the property with great care. Both the front and rear façades have been renewed. The ground floor features solid brick construction, while the first floor is finished with low-maintenance Keralit cladding.
Inside, the house offers plenty of scope to create your ideal home. The layout comprises:
Bright dual-aspect living room;
Spacious kitchen;
Guest toilet near the entrance;
Four bedrooms on the first floor;
Bathroom.
The property has a solid foundation while offering ample opportunity to renovate and personalise the interior entirely to your own style.
PRIVACY AND COMFORT
One of the major advantages of this property is that it stands on freehold land (no leasehold). In addition, unlike several neighbouring properties, there is no right of way through your garden. This means maximum privacy and uninterrupted enjoyment of your outdoor space.
EVERYTHING WITHIN EASY REACH
Westzaan is a charming and friendly village offering an excellent quality of life. Within walking distance you will find a supermarket (Dekamarkt), childcare facilities, a primary school and several sports clubs, including tennis and football. Excellent road connections also provide quick access to Zaandam, Amsterdam and the surrounding region.
ENJOY NATURE AND OUTDOOR LIVING
Walking and cycling enthusiasts will love the surrounding area. Explore the picturesque village, its traditional farms and the Nauernasche Vaart canal, or enjoy a scenic walk along the impressive North Sea Canal.
Every five years, the world-famous SAIL Amsterdam event is practically on your doorstep, easily reached by bicycle, offering one of the world's most spectacular maritime festivals.
After an active day outdoors, relax with a locally brewed beer at Bierbrouwerij De Reef or enjoy lunch or dinner at Jong Wijs.
