Hanenpad 361501 WD ZaandamBurgemeestersbuurt

Beautiful Detached Home on the Water! Who wouldn’t want to live right on the water in Zaandam? On the edge of the Burgemeestersbuurt, directly on navigable water, stands this beautiful detached home featuring a large extension, plenty of character and a beautifully landscaped garden. The living room is the epitome of atmosphere and charm, as are the dining room and the kitchen with its island. Upstairs, there are two generously sized bedrooms and a spacious bathroom, providing everything you could wish for. Could you soon see your boat or sloop moored in the Zaan or Voorzaan, enjoying the Zaanstreek from the water? Hanenpad originated in the early 17th century as a typical Zaanse waterway, where craftsmen, carpenters and fish sellers lived. Today, it is a fantastic place to live, steeped in history and character. Heading east by boat, you can easily reach the Zuidervaart, towards the Watering and Burgemeester in ’t Veldpark. If you head towards Café ’t Sluisje, you can pass through the lock to the Zaan and the North Sea Canal. The Oostzanerveld and Jagersveld nature areas are also accessible by boat. Zaandam town centre is within walking distance, while Amsterdam is within cycling distance, meaning you can often leave the car at home. And if you don’t feel like cycling, the bus or train are also convenient options. Layout: Ground Floor: Through the beautiful front door, freshly painted and immaculately maintained, you enter the hallway. It immediately becomes clear that this is a home full of character and atmosphere. The colourful stained-glass window catches the eye, as do the staircase and the grey wood panelling. Under the stairs are a storage cupboard and the toilet, featuring attractive wall finishes. The dining room spans the full width of the original house and has double doors opening onto the garden. All the characteristic features are here, from the fireplace with wood-burning stove to the original en-suite doors with stained glass. This is the perfect place to enjoy dinner with friends or family, accompanied by the cosy warmth of the wood-burning stove. At the front of the house is the spacious kitchen, where old and new are beautifully balanced. A cooking island takes centre stage, featuring the same concrete worktop as the main kitchen area. The large gas range with double oven will remain, as will the dishwasher and extractor hood integrated into the fireplace surround. The freestanding fridge-freezer is available for purchase by separate agreement. The extension houses the very spacious living room, with natural light entering from two sides and double doors opening onto the garden. Although this space was added at a later date, it unmistakably retains the atmosphere and charm of an older home. The dark slate flooring is equipped with comfortable underfloor heating. Behind the white door is a double storage area, one section of which houses the washing machine and dryer. The exterior door provides convenient access for storing bicycles. First Floor: The wooden flooring and panelled doors with beautiful door frames give the first floor a warm and inviting atmosphere. There are two bedrooms, both spanning the full width of the house, as well as a very spacious bathroom. At the rear is the master bedroom, equipped with air conditioning and a large built-in wardrobe. The bedroom at the front is currently used as a children's room and has a built-in wardrobe with access from two sides. The bathroom, featuring a skylight and attractive tiling, comprises a walk-in shower, a wide vanity unit with mirror and a toilet. The dark ceiling creates a beautiful contrast with the warm brown tones of the wall and floor tiles. Garden: At the front of the house, next to the storage room door, there is ample space for bicycles and waste containers. The spherical trees add an attractive touch of greenery while requiring very little maintenance. The rear garden features not only plenty of greenery but also several terraces. A covered terrace has been created adjacent to the dining room, while extending from the living room is a large lounge terrace overlooking the water.
