Frans Halsstraat 801506 LH ZaandamSchilders- en Waddenbuurt

DETACHED LIVING SURROUNDED BY GREENERY, WITH SPACE FOR FAMILY LIFE, WORK AND CREATIVITY A home that immediately stands out. Detached, surrounded by greenery, with high ceilings, abundant daylight, and a layout you don’t often come across. Once the caretaker’s residence, this property has been carefully transformed into a comfortable family home full of character. The house offers ample space for a family, but also for those who work from home or value flexibility. Think of dual occupancy, a studio, practice, or atelier. All of this in a quiet 1930s neighborhood, right next to a small woodland play area and close to the center of Zaandam.

The high ceilings, large windows, and playful layout create a unique atmosphere. The ground floor features a spacious living room with concrete flooring, underfloor heating, and French doors opening onto the garden. A wood stove adds warmth and ambiance during the colder months. On the first floor you’ll find a second living room. Light, calm, and equipped with a second wood stove — a perfect place to retreat or to use as an extra living area. The overall feel of the house is strong and distinctive, yet warm and inviting. COOKING-TWO KITCHENS, TWO FUNCTIONALS MOODS The main kitchen is located on the first floor: spacious, bright, and practically designed with ample storage and built-in appliances. On the ground floor you’ll find a second kitchen with a wooden countertop, feature wall, and a door to the garden. Ideal for entertaining, guests, or for use with a home practice, studio, or independent living arrangement. SLEEPING AND BATHING-COMFORT AND FLEXIBILITY The first floor hosts three bedrooms, each with access to a balcony or the rooftop terrace. All are bright and peacefully located. The bathroom was renovated in 2019 and includes a bathtub, walk-in shower, double sink, underfloor heating, and terrazzo flooring. The toilet is separate. On the ground floor, at the rear of the house, is a fourth bedroom. This room also works well as a study or atelier — especially in combination with the second kitchen and its own entrance. This makes the ground floor highly versatile to suit the residents’ needs. GARDEN-SPACIOUS, CALM AND VERSTATILE The west-facing garden is generously sized with several terraces, a covered area made of reclaimed ship’s planks, a firepit, electricity, and an outdoor water tap. Whether you want to sit, play, garden, or simply relax — it’s all possible. In addition to the garden, there are several balconies and a rooftop terrace — always a place in the sun or shade, depending on the time of day. LIVING &WORKING/DUAL OCCUPANCY Thanks to its size and layout, this house lends itself to multiple living arrangements. An au pair, child living at home, guest quarters, or a parent seeking independent living — all can be accommodated. It’s also an excellent setting for combining work and home life: a practice, studio, or atelier can easily be realized with the existing facilities. EXTRA OPPORTUNITY- EXPANSION WITH TRANSFORMER BUILDING Beneath the rooftop terrace is a former transformer building that will soon be decommissioned. The current owner holds an option to purchase this building, which can be transferred to the new owner at no cost (only notary fees apply). This offers the opportunity to add volume to the property, for example as a garage, atelier, extra workspace, or even as an extension of the living area.

Within 10 minutes by bike you reach Zaandam city center or Koog aan de Zaan station, with direct trains to Amsterdam Central in just 15 minutes.
