Langestraat 681506 XJ ZaandamOud West

Versatile home with potential, within walking distance of Zaandam town centre! At Langestraat 68 in Zaandam, you will find this charming home with a striking and playful frontage. The property originally dates from 1898 and previously consisted of two separate homes, which were later combined into one. This is still clearly reflected in its appearance: the larger home on the right and the smaller, charming house on the left, each with its own character. It is precisely this combination that makes this property so distinctive. The home offers many possibilities, but also requires attention and modernisation. A wonderful opportunity to finish and improve the property entirely to your own taste. At the rear of the property is the semi-open kitchen, fitted with a cooking island and a fixed kitchen wall. From the kitchen there is access to the conservatory, which connects to the garden. The bathroom is also situated at the rear. This has been renovated fairly recently and has a modern look, including a walk-in shower and a second toilet. The living room is spacious, measuring approximately 50 m², and benefits from plenty of natural light. In the former section of number 70, there is a smaller room with French doors and practical storage space in a small attic. This part of the property gives the home its own atmosphere and offers various possibilities, for example as a study, hobby room, practice room or cosy additional sitting room. On the first floor there are three bedrooms. Thanks to the dormer window on the left-hand side, additional space has been created. There is also a second bathroom upstairs, fitted with a shower and toilet. An important added benefit is the generous plot. The garden is spacious and offers plenty of possibilities. The location is ideal. Langestraat is a quiet side street of the Westzijde in Oud-West, opposite the VersKade in the former Verkade factory, which includes, among other things, a bakery and butcher. Within walking distance there are two primary schools and the Volkspark. In just a few minutes you can walk to the shopping streets and the Dam, with restaurants, terraces and other leisure facilities.
