Lagedijk 981544 BJ ZaandijkOud Zaandijk

Welcome to the former paper warehouse D’ Bykorf, located on the Lagedijk in Zaandijk. This municipal monument is situated in one of the most beautiful spots along the Zaan River, precisely at the point where the river bends. Across the water, you can see the iconic mustard mill De Huisman, located at the Zaanse Schans. On the street side, the house offers a stunning view of both the Sculpture Garden and the Weaving House. The building, once owned by the Honig family, was originally constructed in 1752. About thirty years ago, it underwent extensive restoration and was converted into a residential home. During that time, an annex called ‘goedjaarseinde’ was added to the Zaan side, featuring a basement with considerable headroom. The original warehouse's foundation was also renewed by the Kuyt company from Westzaan. The building was subsequently lifted and placed in a concrete basin. A residential permit was then granted by the municipality. On the ground floor, you will find a spacious and bright living room, adorned with a French oak floor (taper-sawn, 4 cm thick), finished with a smuiger of 'witjes' and a Delft blue tableau of tiles. At the front of the house, there is a modern kitchen equipped with a concrete countertop, built-in appliances, a Quooker, and a designer faucet. A staircase in the living room leads to the charming 'Zaankamer.' This cozy sitting area offers a beautiful view over the Zaan and the Zaanse Schans. In this sitting room, you feel transported back in time to the classic Zaanse industry while looking out over the passing boats. Additionally, this space provides access to the spacious basement with headroom. On the first floor, you can again enjoy a splendid view over the Zaanse Schans and Kalverpolder. Here, there is a very spacious bedroom featuring a characteristic wooden floor and built-in closets. Above the adjacent Zaankamer, there is also extra storage space available. Furthermore, this floor includes a large, luxurious bathroom, fully finished with marble tiles. The bathroom is equipped with a bathtub, a stylish washbasin furniture set, a second toilet, a bidet, and a walk-in shower. This room is directly accessible from the bedroom. The intermediate space, also with a marble floor, accommodates a washing machine, dryer, wardrobe, and the heating geyser (from 2016). In total, the property comprises three bedrooms. The generous second and third bedrooms are located on the second floor, both equipped with practical built-in closets. This floor also features a third toilet with a washbasin, as well as a separate storage area for additional storage needs. From the living room, you can step directly into the backyard, which borders the water of the Zaan River. This phenomenal outdoor space features a deck with a jetty, plenty of room for a terrace, and unmatched views. A significant advantage is that the garden is accessible via a spacious path—something that is rare for homes on the Lagedijk. The front garden has a border and a shell path and invites you to enjoy the afternoon and evening sun in the summer. This unique wooden home is designated as a municipal monument and has been modernly finished in a predominantly white color scheme while preserving its historical character.
