General The historic village of Zaandijk, with approximately 8,500 inhabitants, is part of the municipality of Zaanstad (approx. 160,000 inhabitants), and borders Koog aan de Zaan, Wormerveer, and Zaandam. Zaandijk is especially known for the Zaanse Schans, located on the opposite side of the river Zaan. Zaandijk is a charming village, with almost exclusively original Zaanse architecture. The Lagedijk is the loveliest stretch in the Zaan region. Along the Lagedijk many beautiful dike houses were built in past eras. Lagedijk 60 is built of brick and stands out among the mostly wooden houses around it. Originally this was the villa of a well?off local notary, built in 1903. Over the last century the building was divided into two houses. Number 60 is set back a little from the road, with a delightful front garden. Inside the building is just as impressive: marble, decorative ornaments, ornate fittings, grand staircases, and stained glass give character, while modern finishes create a pleasant and tranquil atmosphere. As the owner, you will enjoy every day anew—from the magnificent building, the unique location, and the breathtaking view over the water to the Zaanse Schans. Location Within 12 minutes by car you will be through the Amsterdam Coen Tunnel; within 20 minutes you reach the Zuidas business district. A few minutes’ walk brings you to the station; you arrive at Amsterdam Central in about 18 minutes. Schiphol Airport is 26 minutes away. Everyday groceries are within walking distance from Lagedijk. On the street you’ll find a bakery, nice cafés / eateries, bars and restaurants. Within a radius of 1 km, there is a wide choice of primary and secondary schools. Layout On entering the house you are greeted by an entrance hall that sets the tone for what’s to come. The hall immediately draws your eye toward the view over the Zaan. The original tiles in the vestibule exude character, as does the mosaic tiled floor, while the marble floor in the hallway adds a touch of luxury. This hallway, beautifully lit by a skylight in the roof and a glass floor on the upper level, also forms the heart of the home. The kitchen (2020, upgraded in 2025) combines sleek design with contemporary functionality. The herringbone floor forms the perfect base for a kitchen equipped with an induction hob, dishwasher, oven, refrigerator, and freezer. The high, splendidly ornate ceilings, the wide door frames, the Belgian marble fireplace, and the large windows add elegance to the space. The kitchen?living room offers, being the heart of the house, room for a very large dining table. Through the en?suite doors you step into the living room, where a warm ambiance prevails. The scene is completed by the marble mantel with wood-burning stove, built?in cupboards, and a decorative ceiling with ornaments. Don’t forget to look up at the 4?metre high ceiling! Step through the French doors into the tranquillity by the water. This beautifully landscaped garden, designed by Erik van Gelder, offers a unique private spot with its own jetty. The jetty is set perpendicular to the bank, creating a double mooring of 2 × 10 meters. Truly a wonderful place to enjoy the enchanting view of the Zaanse Schans, passing boats, and countryside surroundings. Back in the hallway there is access to the cellar and the toilet, featuring a beautiful Belgian hard stone sink. On the first floor the stairs lead you to a daylight?filled landing with oak flooring. This level has three bedrooms and a bathroom with toilet. The two large bedrooms have solid oak wood floors. The “Zaan bedroom” has a breathtaking view of the Zaan and the Zaanse Schans and provides access to the recently renovated modern bathroom (2023), complete with walk?in shower, washbasin, and toilet. The wood stove ensures a lovely warmth and atmosphere. On the second floor you will find a landing and three bedrooms. There is a deep storage room for additional storage. Two of these bedrooms overlook the Zaan, while the third overlooks old Zaandijk. A unique detail in one bedroom is the glass floor incorporating a stained-glass window. The bathroom, with walk?in shower and a pedestal washbasin, is finished with a classic granito floor. Here also are the connections for a washer and dryer. Finally, there is a separate third toilet. Every room on this floor has views of the atmospheric beams above. In short: a splendid townhouse in a unique location with a view that makes you feel like you are on vacation every day.
