Key Features
Description
This sustainable corner home is part of the new Parkzijde development in Zaandam, offering modern living just a short distance from Amsterdam. Located at De Weer in the Vennenbuurt area, this property provides an excellent balance between urban convenience and residential tranquility. The home is ideally situated with excellent transport connections to Amsterdam, with journey times of just 15 minutes to Amsterdam Central Station.
The property spans 145 square meters of living space across three floors. As a corner house, it benefits from additional natural light through windows on two sides. The construction follows modern timber frame methods combined with mineral strips, creating a sustainable and future-proof home. This construction method not only results in lower energy consumption but also contributes to a healthier indoor climate and reduced carbon emissions.
The ground floor features a practical layout with an entrance hall that provides access to an indoor storage area suitable for bicycles and technical equipment. The living area seamlessly combines the living room and a half-open kitchen. The kitchen space at the rear is delivered in casco form, allowing buyers to complete it according to their own preferences and requirements. Additional storage space is cleverly integrated into the living room with a storage area beneath the stairs.
The first floor contains two well-proportioned bedrooms and space for a bathroom with the possibility to install a second toilet. A fixed staircase on the landing leads to the second floor, which offers a flexible space that can be customized to suit various needs and preferences.
One of the notable features of this property is the casco delivery. The homes are delivered watertight and with glass in place but without installations, interior finishes, or fixtures. This approach provides buyers with complete freedom to design their home according to their personal taste and requirements. Whether preferring a sleek modern look, warm natural materials, industrial style, or minimalist design, buyers have the flexibility to create their ideal living space from floor to kitchen, bathroom to wall finishes.
Sustainability forms the core principle of both the design and surrounding area. The quality of materials and insulation meets the latest standards with HSB elements in the facade and partition walls between units. The four residential buildings share several sustainable features including the use of ground and solar energy and an exceptionally low EPC value of 0.2. The facades of the four different building sections follow each other in perfect harmony, creating a development that is both diverse and cohesive in its future-ready approach.
The exterior features a 46-square-meter front garden measuring 9.2 meters deep and 4.98 meters wide, positioned facing southwest to enjoy afternoon and evening sunlight. The property also includes a balcony on the upper floor. The surrounding outdoor area demonstrates sustainable design principles with ground infiltration through open paving for parking spaces and reuse of existing paving materials.
Parking is conveniently provided with a fixed parking space on the enclosed inner courtyard. In keeping with the sustainability ethos of the development, new owners are expected to green 50 percent of their garden area. There is also a requirement to occupy the property personally for the first two years after purchase.
The location offers excellent amenities with various schools, supermarkets, and shops in the immediate vicinity. For more extensive shopping and dining options, the center of Zaandam is within cycling distance. The property is well connected by road and public transport, with the A8 motorway (with connections to the A7 northward and the A10, Amsterdam ring road) just a few minutes drive away. The natural recreation area Het Twiske is nearby, offering various walking, cycling, and forest routes as well as swimming beaches.
For those relying on public transport, several bus stops are within walking distance, including express bus connections to Amsterdam. The train station of Zaandam is also easily accessible by bike, with trains departing every five minutes to the capital and Schiphol Airport. The surrounding area offers numerous sports and recreational opportunities alongside everyday amenities.
The Parkzijde development comprises a total of 21 new homes in four different types, providing options for various preferences.
