Langestraat 221506 XH ZaandamOud West

No renovating or DIY projects needed – just move in and enjoy! On the edge of the city centre, you will find this recently renovated apartment of no less than 94 m², spread over the first and second floors of a distinctive building dating from 1898. The apartment has its own private entrance, three bedrooms, a balcony at the rear and a beautiful exposed-beam ceiling in the living room. The kitchen, bathroom and separate toilet have all been finished in a modern style, and everything is brand new! History: The property dates from 1898 and was originally built as a horse-drawn carriage workshop. In 1908, Mr Pauw, who was affiliated with the Christian Young Men’s Association, was granted a permit to convert the property into a meeting hall. The current brick façade was added at a later date and is believed to have been installed in the 1920s or 1930s. The archives contain various architectural drawings of the property, providing further insight into its original construction and subsequent alterations. Location: Langestraat is a narrow, characterful one-way street, accessible by car via Westzijde. There is a bus stop just around the corner, as well as a library, and within fifteen minutes’ walk you can reach De Dam in the heart of Zaandam. Shops, restaurants, the theatre and cinema are all within easy reach. The railway station is also nearby, offering several trains per hour to Amsterdam and other cities. Layout, located on the first and second residential floors: Ground floor: At the front of the property there are two doors, with the door on the right providing access to the apartment. Once inside, you will find the meter cupboard and the staircase leading to the first floor. Everything has been renovated and painted in attractive colours, including the hallway. First floor: The hallway on this floor opens directly onto the living room, which together with the kitchen measures approximately 40 m². The exposed-beam ceiling is a true highlight, adding plenty of character, while the walls have been smoothly plastered and a beautiful herringbone floor has been installed. Under the staircase to the second floor is a storage cupboard, and double doors provide access to the balcony. Another advantage is the abundance of natural light from three sides, including both the east and west. The kitchen features a modern, brand-new corner configuration with a light-coloured worktop and the sink positioned by the window. Equipped with an induction hob, extractor hood, combination oven, dishwasher, refrigerator and freezer, the kitchen is ready to use. At the front of the apartment are a bedroom, the bathroom and a separate toilet. The bedroom, with its attractive exposed-beam ceiling, spans the full width of the property. There is ample space for a large double bed, wardrobe and a comfortable armchair. The separate toilet, with a wall-mounted toilet and washbasin, has been finished in the same style as the bathroom. The bathroom features a spacious walk-in shower and a vanity unit with two drawers and a stylish mirror. Second floor: A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, with a convenient space for the washing machine on the landing. There are also two additional (bed)rooms on this floor, making the apartment particularly suitable for a family. Alternatively, one of the rooms could be used as a home office. There is also a spacious attic storage area. Balcony: The approximately 8 m² balcony can be accessed from both the living room and kitchen. It features a wooden decking floor and offers a pleasant view towards Ooievaarstraat. The balcony enjoys sunshine during part of the day, while the shade during the hottest part of the day is a welcome advantage.
