Description
This detached property is situated on a pleasant plot in Wormerveer and offers a living experience that combines indoor comfort with outdoor enjoyment. The house was originally built in 1929 and has been maintained and improved over the years by the current owners. The facade presents an attractive appearance upon arrival, and the property benefits from a position that provides a good degree of privacy.
The total living area measures 78 square meters, distributed across two main floors with an additional attic space. The ground floor accommodates the main living areas, while the first floor contains the bedrooms and bathroom facilities. The interior volume of the property is 304 cubic meters.
Entering the property through the front entrance, you arrive directly in the living room. This space serves as the central living area and offers sufficient room to arrange both a comfortable seating area and a dining table. The room features French doors that open to the garden, allowing natural light to enter and creating a visual connection between the interior and exterior spaces. This layout makes the living room feel more spacious and connected to the outdoor environment.
Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen, which is positioned to provide views of the garden. The kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances. The refrigerator and oven have been recently replaced, and the dishwasher was also renewed in the past few years. This practical arrangement allows for meal preparation while maintaining sight lines to the outdoor space.
The first floor houses three bedrooms and the bathroom. The bathroom was renovated in 2019 and presents a well-maintained appearance. It is equipped with a shower, a walk-in shower, a bathtub, a toilet, a washbasin, and a washbasin cabinet. Additionally, the connections for a washing machine and dryer are located in the bathroom, making this space immediately practical for daily laundry needs. There is also a separate toilet on this floor.
The property has received several notable improvements in recent years. The electrical panel has been renewed, and six solar panels have been installed, which are fully owned by the property owner. The heating system consists of an Intergas Xtreme 30 combination boiler that was installed in 2023 and runs on gas. This boiler is owned rather than rented.
Window frames have been upgraded in various locations throughout the property. The bay window at the front has been fitted with plastic frames and HR++ glazing. On the upper floor, virtually all window frames have been replaced with plastic frames featuring HR++ double glazing. These improvements contribute to better insulation and reduced energy costs.
Additional exterior work includes the renewal of zincwork in several areas, including the bay window, various roof sections, and the flower box. The roof is a gable roof covered with tiles.
The garden is a significant feature of this property and represents one of its main attractions. The backyard measures 97 square meters, with dimensions of approximately 15.93 meters in depth and 6.08 meters in width. The garden faces northeast and is accessible via a rear path. Immediately adjacent to the house, there is a cozy canopy where one can sit comfortably from early spring until late autumn. Further back in the garden, there is a large canopy that spans nearly the full width of the plot. This creates an ideal space for entertaining family and friends during summer evenings.
The property also includes a freestanding plastic shed at the rear of the garden. This structure provides ample space for storage, hobbies, or DIY activities. The combination of the two canopy areas, the shed, and the various seating options makes the garden feel like a true extension of the living space.
The total plot area is 162 square meters, which includes both the front and rear gardens. The property is fully owned, as confirmed by the cadastral designation.
In terms of energy efficiency, the property currently holds an energy label D. Insulation features include double glazing and floor insulation. Some walls have been partially insulated. While the energy label is not the highest rating, the various improvements such as the solar panels, HR++ glazing, and floor insulation contribute to reasonable energy performance for a property of this age.
The property is connected to fiber optic internet, ensuring modern connectivity options for residents.
A foundation report from the municipality of Zaanstad is available and can be inspected by interested parties. This document provides information about the condition of the foundation, which is relevant for properties of this age.
The location in Wormerveer offers convenient access to daily necessities. The property is situated on a quiet street within a residential neighborhood. Shops, schools, sports clubs, and other amenities are located within close proximity, making this a practical location for various household types including starters, couples, and young families.
Public transportation is easily accessible, with the NS railway station located a short distance away. The station provides quick connections to Amsterdam, Zaandam, and Alkmaar. Additionally, major roads are readily reachable for those who travel by car.
The surrounding area offers recreational opportunities for outdoor enthusiasts. The Zaan river is nearby for walking, and there are cycling routes through green areas. Local hospitality establishments are also within easy reach, adding to the lifestyle appeal of the location.
Parking is available on public roads in the vicinity of the property. The property is being offered for a price of 385,000 euros, with buyer's costs applicable. The asking price translates to approximately 4,936 euros per square meter of living space.
