Character, Atmosphere, Space, and a Fantastic Garden in a Unique Location in Zaandijk! On the charming Gorterspad, a quiet side street off the beloved Lagedijk, stands this distinctive semi-detached townhouse—with NEW FOUNDATION—dating from 1908. A home full of character, history, and above all, plenty of charm. The façade immediately reflects the personality of the house: authentic, stylish, and perfectly suited to the special Zaanse surroundings. The open-plan kitchen and living area form one large space where cooking, dining, and relaxing unite effortlessly. The kitchen island with its inviting bar serves as the central point, while there remains ample room for a large dining table and a comfortable seating area by the fireplace. Thanks to the expansive windows and French doors leading out to the garden, the room feels light and welcoming, with a seamless blend of indoor and outdoor living. It’s a perfect setting for long dinners, cozy evenings, and relaxed gatherings with family and friends. Undoubtedly, one of the greatest advantages of this home is its location. Situated in the characteristic Oud Zaandijk—close to Lagedijk and with the Zaanse Schans practically just across the water—you’ll be living in an environment where history, atmosphere, and nature come together. On the other side lies the beautiful Wormer- and Jisperveld nature reserve, an expansive Dutch landscape of water, reed beds, and meadows. In the immediate vicinity, you will find inviting cafés, specialty shops, and traditional Zaanse streets that give the neighborhood its unique character. During boating season, the paddle steamer even takes you directly from the Zaandijkersluis to the Zaanse Schans. Passing through the en-suite doors, we arrive in the modern kitchen—a striking contrast to the historic character of the home: sleek, contemporary, and very practical. The kitchen layout and built-in appliances date from 2019 and have been installed with a focus on comfort and ease of use. The central kitchen island also offers a cozy bar area, creating a space where cooking, enjoying drinks, and socializing naturally blend together. Adjacent to the kitchen is a second living room/relaxation area in the extension, which overlooks the garden. With abundant natural light and views of the greenery, it’s a splendid place to unwind. An open fireplace adds extra charm, and the direct connection to the garden makes this area even more special. The south-facing garden is approximately 16 meters deep and boasts a beautifully lush appearance. Thanks to its depth, orientation, and mature landscaping, you enjoy a sense of privacy. It’s a delightful urban garden offering a blend of ambiance, tranquility, and space. At the rear of the garden stands a detached outbuilding, naturally finished in typical Zaanse green. This outbuilding comprises a living room, bedroom, bathroom, and a storage attic. It offers plenty of possibilities—imagine a guest apartment, home office, studio, practice space, hobby room, or a comfortable area for visitors. A valuable addition that makes the home even more flexible. On the first floor are two very spacious bedrooms. The front bedroom is especially impressive with its large windows and high ceilings. Also on this floor is the bathroom, equipped with a toilet, washbasin, and bathtub. The floors feature oak floorboards, which complement the home’s distinctive character. On the second floor, you will find a surprisingly spacious and bright level. Thanks to the dormer at the front, this is a pleasant area filled with natural light that can be adapted to serve as a bedroom, workspace, studio, or additional living area. In addition, there is a second bathroom here, fitted with a shower, washbasin, and provisions for a washing machine and dryer. Over the years, several improvements have been made to the property. These include the addition of the dormer, extension, and garden house, the complete kitchen renovation in 2019, and the external window frames being freshly painted in 2025. The home is equipped with insulating glazing—mostly HR+ glass—and fiber optic internet is available.
