Havenstraat 1181506 PN ZaandamHembrugterrein

This charming family home on Havenstraat is situated in a unique location in the Havenbuurt in Zaandam. Unobstructed views of the Zaan and a forest behind your house! Who wouldn't want that? The home has a living area of ??85 m² (installing a larger skylight would immediately increase this to 102 m²) and is situated on a beautiful plot of 144 m² of private land. At the front, you can fully enjoy the unobstructed view and passing boats. You even have the option to moor a boat in the Zaan. The sheltered backyard faces southwest, features a back entrance and 2 sheds equipped with electricity, and borders directly on the green surroundings of the Hembrug site. This home, built in 1925, consists of, among other things, a well-proportioned living room with a fireplace, a semi-open kitchen, modern sanitary facilities, and currently three bedrooms, but thanks to the fixed staircase to the spacious second floor, a fourth bedroom can easily be created. LOCATION The home is situated at the end of Havenstraat, the 'Delftse Rij', precisely between the characteristic Havenbuurt and the trendy, redeveloped Hembrug site. Less than 100 meters from the home, you enter this green, park-like environment, where you will find everything you need to leave the hustle and bustle of everyday life behind. There is plenty of space here to walk, play, and relax. The street is a dead end for cars, meaning only local traffic for residents passes through. On foot or by bicycle, you reach the North Sea Canal directly further along and are on the Hempont ferry within 3 minutes, where you cross to Amsterdam. All conceivable amenities are within easy reach. The center of Zaandam can be reached by bicycle within a few minutes. Here you will find a wide range of shops, restaurants, cafes, and cultural facilities. In the Havenbuurt, located 500 meters from the home, are a daycare center, primary school, neighborhood and playground association “Het Havenkwartier”, and the rowing club. Zaandam NS station is easily accessible. From this intercity station, there are fast connections to the major cities in the Randstad. You can be at Amsterdam Sloterdijk within 6 minutes. You can also reach the city (and capital) in no time by car, bicycle, or scooter. THE HEMBRUG SITE AND THE DELFTSE RIJ The houses on the Delftse Rij were built in the mid-1920s commissioned by the Artillerie Inrichtingen to house the skilled personnel of the company that had relocated from Delft. The Rij was built as a single unit, consists of 25 workers' houses and 8 larger supervisor's houses (of which this is one), and exudes a characteristic early 20th-century atmosphere. Located behind it is the Hembrug site, the heart of the Amsterdam Defence Line (now a UNESCO World Heritage Site). At the end of the 19th century, this grew into the national center for the development and production of weapons and ammunition. Today, it is one of the most remarkable industrial heritage areas in the Netherlands, featuring dozens of monumental buildings, beautiful paths, old trees, and a unique combination of nature and cultural history. The old buildings are being renovated and given new uses. For example, the ZAMU (Zaandam Amsterdam Museum), which is scheduled to open later this year. The Hembrug site has developed into a high-quality living and working environment, while preserving its monumental character, park-like layout, and distinctive architecture. It is precisely the combination of history, space, nature, and culture that makes this area special and attractive. Living on the Delftse Rij therefore means not only living by the Zaan, but also being part of a unique piece of Dutch industrial heritage, in a place where tranquility, history, and the dynamism of the Randstad come together in a special way.
