Zuiddijk 4071505 HC ZaandamVijfhoekpark

Unique gem of a home between Amsterdam and Zaandam! Between Amsterdam and Zaandam, on the Zuiddijk, you’ll find this unique home nestled between the two cities. Surrounded by nature, this characteristic 1930s house exudes ambience and history. Step inside and it’s clear: this is a rare-class gem. Everything fits, everything is finished down to the last detail, and lovingly maintained. The spacious living room with beamed ceiling features a French oak parquet floor and a cosy bay window. The fireplace brings warmth and atmosphere. Through the French doors—or via the kitchen—you step onto the veranda with access to the garden. In 2011 a very generous extension was added for the kitchen and the shed, executed in traditional shiplap style that pairs beautifully with the lush green garden. The kitchen, installed in 2013, comes with all desired appliances, including a Quooker (2020) and an induction hob (2023). Underfloor heating keeps your feet warm. A beautiful auxiliary table made of thick-sawn slab wood adds extra character to the space. The view over the fantastic garden never gets old... On the first floor you’ll find two well-proportioned bedrooms and a smaller room currently housing the washing machine and dryer. The bathroom is neatly finished with Belgian bluestone flooring and has electric underfloor heating and a heated mirror. The master bedroom overlooks the stunning garden and is fitted with air conditioning. A fixed staircase leads to the attic. Thanks to Velux roof windows and a dormer, a good-sized bedroom has been created here as well. This floor also has air conditioning. The garden offers several places to sit. Attached to the house is a veranda where you can relax during the day and, with the awning extended, enjoy the evening and night-time ambience. The wooden deck by the water is another lovely spot; there’s ample room here for a lounge set and a dining table. Through the French doors you enter the shed (with its own consumer unit and three-phase power). The shed includes a toilet and a washbasin. An electric boiler provides hot water for the shed and the kitchen. It’s a delightful place for hobbies. Sturdy bridge sections lead you across to the other side, and along a path of antique yellow brick pavers you reach the lawn and a covered shelter that serves as wood storage, offers extra storage space, and a comfy seating area to catch the last rays of the day. For boating enthusiasts, there’s a mooring jetty at the corner opposite. From this small canal you head towards the Hanenpad lock to reach the River Zaan, from where you can sail in all directions: Amsterdam, Haarlem or IJmuiden, or towards the Zaanse Schans, the Alkmaardermeer, or into the polders towards the Jagersplas. There’s also the option to reserve a berth at Zaanhaven on the other side of the dike; just a 2-minute walk and you’re stepping onto your boat to head out onto the Zaan or the North Sea Canal. - Year of construction: 1929 - Living area: 97 m² - Shed: 11 m² - Plot size: 165 m² freehold - Energy label: C - Completion: preference December 2025 This characterful home is a short cycle from Zaandam city centre and the Hembrug area, and close to Amsterdam (5 minutes by bike to the Hem ferry or 15 minutes to the NDSM ferry).
