Westzijde 125-B1506 GB ZaandamOud West

Beautiful detached home with many original features, a sunny garden, and just a stone’s throw from the centre of Zaandam! As you enter the home, you’re immediately struck by the stunning stained glass windows in the hallway. A unique detail: these windows were crafted by Bogtman Atelier, renowned for the impressive stained glass canopy in the historic Scheepvaarthuis. With its high ceilings and elegant decorative mouldings, the home has a grand and stately feel. At the same time, the property has been finished to a high modern standard and meets all the expectations of contemporary living. At the front of the home is the en-suite living room – a bright and inviting space with a wooden floor, original fireplaces, and built-in cabinets with panelled doors. At the rear, you’ll find an additional living area, followed by the dining room and kitchen. The dining room features large windows on two sides, once again with beautiful stained glass. The generous kitchen (2020) flows seamlessly from here and offers an ideal space for cooking, dining, and entertaining with family and friends. The original built-in cupboards along the wall are perfect for storage. The kitchen also provides access to a practical utility room and the garden. The first floor houses four bedrooms and the bathroom. The landing is efficiently laid out with a full-length wall of built-in wardrobes. The recently landscaped garden is neatly maintained and enjoys a sunny south-facing position. From the garden, you have direct access to the car-free Bouwmanspad, which leads to a playground located behind the house. A convenient covered area offers sheltered bicycle storage. The home is situated in a lively and child-friendly neighbourhood with all amenities close by. The city centre of Zaandam is just a short walk away, as is the train station with direct connections to Amsterdam Central Station, Schiphol, and Utrecht. Also nearby are the Verkadefabriek (featuring a bakery and the library), the Bullekerk (which hosts a range of cultural activities), and a variety of shops. Several primary schools, playgrounds, and a daycare centre are within easy reach. The A7, A8, and A10 motorways are just minutes away, and you can be in Amsterdam in under 15 minutes. Parking is free and available in the street behind the house and in the surrounding area. Layout: Ground floor: entrance, vestibule with beautiful stained glass windows and coat storage, hallway with toilet, understairs storage, and staircase. The spacious living room features high ceilings, large windows, and is divided by en-suite doors. Both rooms are fitted with original built-in cupboards with panelled doors. At the rear are the additional sitting room, dining room, and luxury kitchen. The kitchen is equipped with an induction hob, ceiling extractor, oven, fridge, freezer, Quooker, two dishwashers, and a tiled floor with underfloor heating. Behind the kitchen lies the utility room, with connections for a washing machine and dryer. Along the wall is an original set of built-in cupboards, one of which conceals access to the cellar (approx. 2 metres high). The sunny, south-facing garden is accessible from both the kitchen and a back entrance. First floor: landing with practical built-in cupboards and access to four bedrooms and a modern bathroom, complete with walk-in shower, double washbasin, and second toilet.
