Spacious Semi-Detached Family Home with Waterfront Garden in Heiloo
Key Features
Upsides
- Waterfront location with private dock and west-facing garden that receives sunlight until late evening
- Four full bedrooms including a spacious top-floor room with dormer window
- Attached garage with private driveway and additional public parking available
- Modern finishes including solid oak herringbone floor, skylight, and fireplace in the living area

Downsides
- Energy label B indicates moderate energy efficiency, which may result in higher utility costs compared to newer or better-insulated homes
- Semi-detached construction means sharing a wall with neighbors, which may affect privacy and noise levels
- Kitchen is located at the front of the house rather than overlooking the garden, which some buyers may find less desirable
- The 85 square meter garden, while waterfront, is relatively modest in size for a family home at this price point
- Built in 1993 means the property is over 30 years old, which may require future maintenance or renovation work
Description
This semi-detached family home is located at De Krommert 9 in the municipality of Heiloo, situated in the popular Plan Ypestein neighborhood. The property was originally built in 1993 and has been extended and modernized over the years to meet contemporary living standards. The total living area measures 146 square meters, complemented by 18 square meters of additional indoor space and 5 square meters of externally attached space. The plot covers 243 square meters with a total building volume of 581 cubic meters.
The ground floor features an extended living room that serves as the central gathering space of the home. The open layout incorporates large window sections, a sliding door, and a skylight that collectively ensure abundant natural daylight throughout the day. The flooring consists of solid oak herringbone parquet, while the walls and ceilings have a smooth plastered finish, contributing to a calm and contemporary aesthetic. A fireplace provides a focal point in the living area and helps to visually divide the space. The rear of the living room faces the garden and water, creating a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor living through the sliding doors.
The kitchen is positioned at the front of the property and has an open connection to the living area. It was designed under architectural supervision and is well maintained. The kitchen is equipped with recently renewed built-in appliances including a gas cooktop with extractor hood, a combined oven and microwave, a dishwasher, a separate refrigerator and freezer, and a sink. The layout provides ample workspace and storage capacity. The front-facing position offers a view of the street while cooking.
The first floor contains three bedrooms and a full bathroom, all accessible from a central landing. The bedrooms are generously proportioned and benefit from large windows that allow plenty of daylight to enter. Each room can comfortably accommodate a bed, desk, and wardrobe, making them suitable as bedrooms, workspaces, or hobby rooms.
The fully tiled bathroom on the first floor is complete with a bathtub, a separate shower enclosure, a floating toilet, and a double vanity unit. The neat finish makes this a practical and comfortable space.
The second floor is reached via a fixed staircase and houses the fourth bedroom located in the roof apex. A dormer window has been installed to improve headroom and natural light, resulting in a surprisingly spacious room that functions as a full bedroom. The landing on this floor also contains connections for laundry appliances.
The property includes an attached garage that is accessible directly from the entrance hall. This space can accommodate a vehicle or serve as storage for bicycles, tools, garden furniture, and seasonal items. A private driveway at the front provides parking for one car, and additional public parking is available on the street.
The backyard faces west and is situated directly on the water. With dimensions of approximately 11 meters deep and 7.7 meters wide, the 85 square meter garden has been landscaped with a combination of paving and plantings. A sun awning provides shade on warm days, and a wooden deck extends to the water's edge with a dock. This outdoor space is suitable for relaxation and offers the possibility of mooring a small boat. During winter, the water can freeze over for ice skating when conditions permit.
The front garden leads to the entrance and provides access to the driveway and garage.
Plan Ypestein is characterized by its green surroundings, peaceful atmosphere, and family-friendly environment. The property is located on a quiet street with only local traffic. Within the immediate vicinity, residents have access to multiple supermarkets, primary and secondary schools, sports clubs, and recreational facilities. Public transportation is well organized with bus stops and Heiloo railway station within walking distance. The location also offers good connections to major roads leading to Alkmaar, Haarlem, and Amsterdam.
Technical features include a Remeha gas-fired combination boiler from 2017 (owned), full insulation, mechanical and natural ventilation, an alarm system, fiberglass internet connection, and roller shutters. The property has energy label B. The cadastre reference is HEILOO D 3743 with full ownership status.
