Characterful terraced house with three bedrooms and sunny southwest garden
Key Features
Description
This charming mid-terrace house is located on Celebesstraat in the Wormerveer Zuid district, offering approximately 68 square meters of living space on a plot of 105 square meters. Built in 1929, the property has accumulated nearly a century of character while having been gradually updated over the decades to meet contemporary standards.
Upon entering the property, you arrive in an entrance hall equipped with an internal mailbox and meter cupboard. A classic panel interior door leads to the sunlit through-living room, which features a characteristic bay window at the front of the house. The walls are plastered and a wooden floor runs throughout the ground floor. The property retains several original features including the panel doors from the construction period, which are highly sought after style elements in today's market. Built-in storage cupboards with matching original doors provide practical storage solutions.
The semi-open kitchen is situated in the original extension at the rear of the house. The corner layout includes a worktop, built-in gas hob with extractor hood, and a stainless steel sink with single-lever mixer tap. A built-in fridge/freeze combination is included, and connections for a dishwasher are in place. The back door provides access to the garden. The kitchen maintains the same aesthetic as the bathroom, creating a cohesive design approach throughout the property.
A separately positioned toilet with corner-placed duoblock and pedestal basin is located on the ground floor, alongside the staircase leading to the upper floors.
The first floor landing provides access to three bedrooms and the bathroom. A folding loft ladder leads to the storage attic on the second floor. The two front bedrooms are of comparable size, with one featuring distinctive ceiling paneling that adds to the property's authentic character. The rear bedroom includes a dormer window, providing additional headroom and natural light. One bedroom is currently used as a walk-in closet with an open connection to the master bedroom, though it could easily be converted back to a children's room or home office space. Throughout the first floor, wood-effect laminate flooring has been installed and walls are smoothly finished. The fully tiled bathroom is equipped with underfloor heating, a washbasin, and a shower cabin positioned to maximize natural light while maintaining privacy. The white tiles with black grouting provide a neutral backdrop that allows for personal color accents through accessories.
The storage attic, accessible via the loft ladder, houses the central heating system, an Intergas Kombi Kompact combination boiler installed in 2020, which is owned rather than rented.
The front garden is neatly paved with established planting, creating a welcoming appearance from the street. The highlight of the outdoor space is the rear garden, measuring approximately 39 square meters and oriented toward the southwest. The garden is fully paved and includes a gated rear access. A wooden shed, positioned on a concrete base and equipped with electricity, provides secure storage for bicycles and garden equipment. The slightly elevated sun terrace offers a sheltered position ideal for outdoor dining and relaxation from early spring through late autumn. The garden's orientation ensures good sunlight exposure throughout the day and into the evening.
The property is classified with energy label F. Partial double glazing has been installed, though the energy performance indicates that further improvements could be considered. It is noted that the foundation of the property is being monitored by the Municipality of Zaanstad, which prospective buyers should investigate further during the purchase process. The acceptance of the property is to be agreed upon.
The location is particularly family-friendly, with elementary school facilities within a 10-minute walk. Secondary education is accessible within a 15-minute bicycle ride. Higher and university-level education is readily available via the nearby railway station. For commuters, Wormerveer railway station offers direct connections to Zaandam, Sloterdijk, and Amsterdam Central Station during peak hours. Motorists benefit from easy access to the A8 motorway toward Amsterdam and the A9 connecting to Haarlem and Schiphol Airport. The Wilhelminapark is nearby, providing green space for walks with young children.
The property represents a solid foundation for those seeking a character home with good transport connections and practical living space. The combination of original period features, partially modernized interior, and sunny outdoor space creates a comfortable living environment that has been well-maintained while offering scope for further personalization and improvement.
