Beschrijving

Het appartement is gelegen aan de Westzijde in de wijk Oud West van Zaandam. Dit is een historisch gebied langs de Zaan. Het gebouw werd oorspronkelijk gebouwd in 1919, wat het een karakteristiek uiterlijk geeft dat de bouwstijl van die periode weerspiegelt. In 2007 is dit historische gebouw omgevormd tot acht kleine appartementen, zodat het exterieur zijn oorspronkelijke karakter behoudt, terwijl het interieur is gemoderniseerd om te voldoen aan eigentijdse woonstandaarden.

Het appartement zelf biedt 31 vierkante meter woonoppervlakte met een totaal volume van 118 kubieke meter. Ondanks het compacte formaat is de indeling efficiënt ontworpen om het wooncomfort te maximaliseren. De plafondhoogte bereikt 2,9 meter, wat een gevoel van ruimtelijkheid creëert waardoor het appartement ruimer aanvoelt dan de vierkante meters alleen zouden doen vermoeden. Deze hoogte is kenmerkend voor oudere Nederlandse gebouwen en zorgt voor een luchtige sfeer in de gehele ruimte.

Natuurlijk licht is een opvallend kenmerk van dit appartement. De listing benadrukt het overvloedige daglicht en de aanwezigheid van openslaande deuren die leiden naar een Frans balkon waar bewoners van de zon kunnen genieten. Het Franse balkon is gericht op wat wordt omschreven als een beschutte positie, en het pand is gelegen aan het water, verwijzend naar de Zaan die langs deze historische straat stroomt.

De interne indeling omvat één slaapkamer die beschikt over een opberghok voor items zoals seizoensdecoraties en andere bezittingen die niet direct toegankelijk hoeven te zijn. Er is één badkamer uitgerust met een douche, toilet en wastafel. De hoofdwoonruimte biedt ruimte voor de keuken en woonkamer in een open configuratie die typerend is voor appartementen van deze grootte.

De locatie wordt omschreven als rustig ondanks de nabijheid van het centrum van Zaandam. Het is gelegen in de buurt van de Bernhardbrug en op loopafstand van zowel het stadscentrum als het treinstation. Voor autobezitters is er snelle toegang tot routes richting Amsterdam of Purmerend, wat deze locatie praktisch maakt voor forenzen die in deze grotere steden werken.

Het energielabel A is bijzonder opmerkelijk voor een gebouw van deze leeftijd. Dit duidt erop dat er tijdens de verbouwing in 2007 aanzienlijke isolatie- en efficiëntieverbeteringen zijn doorgevoerd. Een A-label betekent lagere energiekosten voor de bewoner en kan ook voordelig zijn bij het verkrijgen van hypotheekfinanciering, aangezien sommige geldverstrekkers gunstigere voorwaarden bieden voor energiezuinige woningen.

Praktische voorzieningen omvatten een gasgestookte combiketel voor verwarming en warm water die eigendom is van de pandeigenaar, gratis parkeren in de omgeving, een gedeelde berging op de begane grond voor fietsen, en een tv-kabelaansluiting. De servicekosten bedragen 117 euro per maand.

De Vereniging van Eigenaren lijkt goed georganiseerd met inschrijving bij de Kamer van Koophandel, jaarlijkse vergaderingen, reguliere bijdragen, een reservefonds, een onderhoudsplan en een gebouwenverzekering. Deze structuur biedt de zekerheid dat het gebouw goed wordt onderhouden en dat er middelen beschikbaar zijn voor toekomstig onderhoud en reparaties.

De wijk Oud West in Zaandam is een charmant gebied dat de rijke industriële en maritieme geschiedenis van de Zaanstreek weerspiegelt. De Westzijde zelf is een van de meest karakteristieke straten van Zaandam, die langs de Zaan loopt. Historisch gezien was dit gebied het hart van de industriële activiteit in de Zaanstreek, met talloze windmolens, pakhuizen en fabrieken langs de waterweg. Vandaag de dag zijn veel van deze historische gebouwen behouden en herbestemd, wat een unieke woonomgeving creëert die historisch karakter combineert met moderne voorzieningen.

Wonen aan de Westzijde betekent deel uitmaken van een buurt die al eeuwenlang continu bewoond wordt. De architectuur van het gebouw vertegenwoordigt een specifieke periode in de Nederlandse bouwgeschiedenis, en de conversie tot appartementen betekent dat hoewel de gevel en de algemene structuur hun historische karakter behouden, de interne systemen en indelingen zijn bijgewerkt om te voldoen aan hedendaagse normen voor comfort en efficiëntie.

Het Franse balkon, hoewel het geen buitenruimte biedt zoals een volledig balkon of terras, vervult een belangrijke functie in het appartementenleven. De mogelijkheid om brede deuren te openen en frisse lucht door het appartement te laten stromen is waardevol, vooral tijdens de warmere maanden. De listing vermeldt het genieten van de zon vanaf deze plek, wat aangeeft dat het appartement een gunstige oriëntatie heeft voor zonlicht gedurende de dag.

De opbergoplossing in de slaapkamer is een slim gebruik van de hoge plafondruimte. Dit type opbergruimte is gebruikelijk in oudere Nederlandse appartementen waar de hoogte een extra niveau toelaat dat bereikbaar is voor seizoensgebonden items en andere bezittingen. De afzonderlijke fietsenberging op de begane grond is ook een belangrijke praktische voorziening, aangezien fietsopslag in een klein appartement onpraktisch zou zijn.

De locatie biedt een balans tussen rust en bereikbaarheid. Aan de rand van het centrum betekent dit dat bewoners kunnen genieten van een rustigere woonomgeving terwijl alle stedelijke voorzieningen binnen handbereik zijn. De nabijheid van het treinstation is bijzonder waardevol voor forenzen, aangezien station Zaandam directe verbindingen biedt naar Amsterdam Centraal en andere bestemmingen in de regio.

De gratis parkeersituatie is een aanzienlijk voordeel in stedelijke gebieden waar parkeren duur en moeilijk te vinden kan zijn. Voor bewoners met een auto vertegenwoordigt dit een aanzienlijke besparing op de lange termijn in vergelijking met gebieden waar betaald parkeren of parkeervergunningen vereist zijn.

Voor potentiële kopers zou dit appartement waarschijnlijk aantrekkelijk zijn voor starters, alleenstaanden of stelletjes die op zoek zijn naar een betaalbare instap in de woningmarkt op een gewilde locatie. De efficiënte indeling en moderne energieprestaties maken het geschikt als starterswoning, terwijl de locatie in het historische centrum van Zaandam karakter en langetermijnwaardepotentieel toevoegt.

Het feit dat de combiketel eigendom is van de pandeigenaar is een ander voordeel, aangezien dit geen huurkosten voor deze essentiële apparatuur betekent en volledige controle over onderhoud en vervanging.

In het centrum wonen betekent dat dagelijkse benodigdheden zoals supermarkten, winkels, restaurants en andere diensten op loopafstand zijn. Dit vermindert de behoefte aan een auto voor dagelijkse boodschappen en draagt bij aan een handig leefstijl.

De wijk Oud West behoudt in het bijzonder een dorpsachtige sfeer binnen de grotere stad, met smalle straatjes, kleinschalige bebouwing en een sterk gemeenschapsgevoel. Dit contrasteert met het meer stedelijke karakter van gebieden dichter bij het station en biedt een ander leefstijlervaring voor degenen die de voorkeur geven aan een rustigere woonomgeving.

De oplevering wordt omschreven als in overleg, wat flexibiliteit biedt voor zowel de verkoper als de koper om een wederzijds gunstige overdrachtsdatum te plannen. De vraagprijs bedraagt 235.000 euro kosten koper, wat de standaard transactiekosten omvat waar de koper verantwoordelijk voor is bij Nederlandse vastgoedtransacties.

The apartment is located on Westzijde in the Oud West neighborhood of Zaandam. This is a historic area along the Zaan river. The building was originally constructed in 1919, giving it a characteristic appearance that reflects the architectural style of that period. In 2007, this historic building was converted into seven small apartments, so while the exterior maintains its original character, the interior has been modernized to meet contemporary living standards. The apartment itself offers 31 square meters of living space with a total volume of 118 cubic meters. Despite its compact size, the layout has been designed efficiently to maximize living comfort. The ceiling height reaches 2.9 meters, which creates a sense of spaciousness that makes the apartment feel more generous than the square footage alone might suggest. This height is characteristic of older Dutch buildings and provides an airy atmosphere throughout the space. Natural light is a prominent feature of this apartment. The listing emphasizes abundant daylight and the presence of opening doors leading to a French balcony where residents can enjoy the sun. The French balcony faces what is described as a sheltered position, and the property is located by the water, referring to the Zaan river that flows past this historic street. The interior layout includes one bedroom that features a storage loft for items such as seasonal decorations and other belongings that do not need to be readily accessible. There is one bathroom equipped with a shower, toilet, and washbasin. The main living area would accommodate the kitchen and living space in an open configuration typical of apartments of this size. The location is described as quiet despite being near the center of Zaandam. It is situated close to the Bernhardbrug and within walking distance of both the town center and the train station. For car owners, there is quick access to routes heading toward Amsterdam or Purmerend, making this location practical for commuters working in these larger cities. The energy label A is particularly noteworthy for a building of this age. This indicates that significant insulation and efficiency improvements were made during the 2007 conversion. An A label means lower energy costs for the resident and can also be advantageous when securing mortgage financing, as some lenders offer more favorable terms for energy efficient homes. Practical features include a gas fired combination boiler for heating and hot water that is owned by the property owner, free parking in the area, a shared storage area on the ground floor for bicycles, and a TV cable connection. Service costs amount to 127 euros per month. The Homeowners Association appears well organized with registration with the Chamber of Commerce, annual meetings held, regular contributions collected, a reserve fund present, a maintenance plan in place, and building insurance arranged. This structure provides assurance that the building is being properly maintained and that funds are available for future repairs and maintenance. The Oud West neighborhood in Zaandam is a charming area that reflects the rich industrial and maritime history of the Zaan region. The Westzijde street itself is one of the most characteristic streets in Zaandam, running along the Zaan river. Historically, this area was the heart of the Zaanstreek industrial activity, with numerous windmills, warehouses, and factories lining the waterway. Today, many of these historic buildings have been preserved and repurposed, creating a unique living environment that combines historical character with modern amenities. Living on the Westzijde means being part of a neighborhood that has been continuously inhabited for centuries. The architecture of the building represents a specific period in Dutch building history, and the conversion to apartments means that while the facade and overall structure retain their historical character, the internal systems and layouts have been updated to meet contemporary standards of comfort and efficiency. The French balcony, while not offering outdoor floor space like a full balcony or terrace, serves an important function in apartment living. The ability to open wide doors and let fresh air flow through the apartment is valuable, particularly during the warmer months. The listing mentions enjoying the sun from this spot, indicating that the apartment has a favorable orientation for sunlight throughout the day. The storage solution in the bedroom is a clever use of the high ceiling space. This type of storage is common in older Dutch apartments where the height allows for an additional level that can be accessed for seasonal items and other belongings. The separate bicycle storage on the ground floor is also an important practical feature, as bicycle storage inside a small apartment would be impractical. The location offers a balance between tranquility and accessibility. Being on the edge of the center means residents can enjoy a quieter residential environment while still having all urban conveniences within easy reach. The proximity to the train station is particularly valuable for commuters, as Zaandam station provides direct connections to Amsterdam Central Station and other destinations in the region. The free parking situation is a significant advantage in urban areas where parking can be expensive and difficult to find. For residents who own a car, this represents a substantial ongoing saving compared to areas where paid parking or parking permits are required. For potential buyers, this apartment would likely appeal to first time buyers, singles, or couples looking for an affordable entry point into the housing market in a desirable location. The efficient layout and modern energy performance make it suitable as a starter home, while the location in the historic center of Zaandam adds character and long term value potential. The combination boiler being owned by the property owner is another advantage, as it means no rental costs for this essential equipment and full control over maintenance and replacement timing. Being in the center means that daily necessities like supermarkets, shops, restaurants, and other services are within walking distance. This reduces the need for a car for daily errands and contributes to a convenient lifestyle. The Oud West neighborhood in particular retains a village like atmosphere within the larger town, with narrow streets, small scale buildings, and a strong sense of community. This contrasts with the more urban feel of areas closer to the station and provides a different lifestyle experience for those who prefer a quieter residential setting. Delivery is described as by agreement, which provides flexibility for both the seller and buyer to arrange a mutually convenient transfer date. The asking price is 235000 euros costs buyer, which includes the standard transaction costs that the buyer is responsible for in Dutch real estate transactions.

The Westzijde street itself is one of the most characteristic streets in Zaandam, running along the Zaan river. Historically, this area was the heart of the Zaanstreek industrial activity, with numerous windmills, warehouses, and factories lining the waterway. Today, many of these historic buildings have been preserved and repurposed, creating a unique living environment that combines historical character with modern amenities. Living on the Westzijde means being part of a neighborhood that has been continuously inhabited for centuries. The architecture of the building represents a specific period in Dutch building history, and the conversion to apartments means that while the facade and overall structure retain their historical character, the internal systems and layouts have been updated to meet contemporary standards of comfort and efficiency. The French balcony, while not offering outdoor floor space like a full balcony or terrace, serves an important function in apartment living. The ability to open wide doors and let fresh air flow through the apartment is valuable, particularly during the warmer months. The listing mentions enjoying the sun from this spot, indicating that the apartment has a favorable orientation for sunlight throughout the day. The storage solution in the bedroom is a clever use of the high ceiling space. This type of storage is common in older Dutch apartments where the height allows for an additional level that can be accessed for seasonal items and other belongings. The separate bicycle storage on the ground floor is also an important practical feature, as bicycle storage inside a small apartment would be impractical. The location offers a balance between tranquility and accessibility. Being on the edge of the center means residents can enjoy a quieter residential environment while still having all urban conveniences within easy reach. The proximity to the train station is particularly valuable for commuters, as Zaandam station provides direct connections to Amsterdam Central Station and other destinations in the region. The free parking situation is a significant advantage in urban areas where parking can be expensive and difficult to find. For residents who own a car, this represents a substantial ongoing saving compared to areas where paid parking or parking permits are required. For potential buyers, this apartment would likely appeal to first time buyers, singles, or couples looking for an affordable entry point into the housing market in a desirable location. The efficient layout and modern energy performance make it suitable as a starter home, while the location in the historic center of Zaandam adds character and long term value potential. The combination boiler being owned by the property owner is another advantage, as it means no rental costs for this essential equipment and full control over maintenance and replacement timing. Being in the center means that daily necessities like supermarkets, shops, restaurants, and other services are within walking distance. This reduces the need for a car for daily errands and contributes to a convenient lifestyle. The Oud West neighborhood in particular retains a village like atmosphere within the larger town, with narrow streets, small scale buildings, and a strong sense of community. This contrasts with the more urban feel of areas closer to the station and provides a different lifestyle experience for those who prefer a quieter residential setting. Delivery is described as by agreement, which provides flexibility for both the seller and buyer to arrange a mutually convenient transfer date.
