Charming semi-detached family home with 5 bedrooms, garage and sunny garden in Santpoort-Noord
Key Features
Description
This delightful semi-detached family home, known affectionately as the house of the old lady from number one, stands on Frans Netscherlaan in the desirable Santpoort-Noord neighborhood of Santhaesbuurt. Built in 1933, this property offers approximately 124 square meters of living space spread across three floors, sitting on a generous plot of 216 square meters of freehold land.
The house presents a wonderful opportunity for those seeking a property with character and potential. While the home requires renovation, it retains numerous original period features that speak to its distinguished past. Beautiful panel doors and stained glass windows have been carefully preserved throughout, adding warmth and authenticity to the living spaces. The property has been home to a beloved local artist for over 50 years, who found endless inspiration within these walls and shared that inspiration with the neighborhood through painting courses and family gatherings.
Upon entering through the entrance and storm porch, you are greeted by a practical hallway leading to the ground floor facilities. The ground floor comprises a separate toilet and a bright living room featuring an elegant bay window that floods the space with natural light. The open kitchen connects seamlessly to the living area, creating a modern and inviting social space perfect for family life. From the kitchen, you step out into the sunny rear garden, which faces southeast and measures approximately 55 square meters with a depth of 10 meters and width of 5.5 meters. This outdoor space is accessible via a back entrance, making it ideal for children to play or for enjoying meals outdoors during the warmer months.
A standout feature of this property is the freestanding stone garage, accessible via the property's own driveway. This substantial outbuilding offers parking for one car and valuable additional storage or workshop space. The front garden adds further curb appeal to this already attractive property.
The first floor reveals three well-proportioned bedrooms, providing comfortable accommodation for a growing family. The bathroom on this level is described as simple and would benefit from modernization. A balcony at the front of the house offers a pleasant spot to enjoy your morning coffee while overlooking the green street. The second floor adds two additional bedrooms via its own landing, bringing the total bedroom count to five. This makes the property particularly suitable for larger families or those requiring home office space.
The house has been thoughtfully maintained over the years, with a new Intergas HR combination boiler installed in 2023, ensuring efficient heating and hot water provision. The property features partial double glazing and natural ventilation. It is important to note that an energy label is not currently available, and prospective buyers should factor this into their assessment, along with the general renovation requirements.
Location-wise, this property excels in its connectivity and amenities. The house sits in a wide, tree-lined street within a child-friendly residential environment. Within walking distance, you will find a pleasant shopping street with a weekly market, numerous shops, and restaurants catering to everyday needs. Santpoort-Noord railway station is also nearby, offering direct connections to Haarlem, Amsterdam in approximately 25 minutes, and Alkmaar. Public bus services provide additional transportation options.
For families with children, a large playground is located in the vicinity. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate the proximity to the Burgemeester Rijkenspark walking forest, the historic Duin en Kruidberg estate, and the windmill De Zandhaas. The brasserie Hoeve Duin en Kruidberg, complete with a play area, is perfect for weekend outings. The dunes and beaches of IJmuiden or Bloemendaal are easily reachable by bicycle, making this an ideal location for those who love outdoor activities and coastal living.
The house is offered at an asking price of 795,000 euros including transfer costs. This equates to approximately 6,411 euros per square meter of living space. Ownership is full freehold, providing complete security of tenure. Transfer is subject to mutual agreement regarding handover date.
This property represents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful family home in one of the most sought-after locations in Santpoort-Noord. While renovation is required, the solid construction from 1933, generous proportions, and exceptional location make this an attractive proposition for those willing to invest in creating their dream home. The property comes with the benefit of a building inspection report, providing transparency regarding its current condition.
In summary, this charming semi-detached residence offers five bedrooms, a bright living room with bay window, open kitchen, sunny southeast-facing garden, freestanding garage, and private driveway. The property's proximity to excellent transport links, local amenities, schools, and recreational areas makes it an ideal family home with tremendous potential for modernization and personalization.

This is a 2-onder-1-kapwoning (semi-detached house) with separate cadastral entry (Kadastraal nummer VELSEN F 3567) and full ownership (volle eigendom). Semi-detached houses in the Netherlands typically have no mandatory VvE as each unit is individually owned. No VvE fees or rules mentioned in the listing.
Leasehold
The listing explicitly states 'Eigendomssituatie: Volle eigendom' (Full ownership/freehold). The kadastrale gegevens confirm this is freehold property.
Other Rules
No mention of any specific rules or regulations. Property is explicitly a 'kluswoning' (renovation project) requiring renovation. 'Bouwkundige Keuring' keurmerk indicates a structural inspection has been done.
Safety & Accessibility
Elevator
The listing describes a 3-story house with multiple floors (parterre, 1e etage, 2e etage). No elevator is mentioned, and elevators are not standard in traditional 1933 semi-detached houses.
Intercom
No mention of an intercom system in the property description or features list.
Alarm System
The listing does not mention any alarm system. Properties requiring renovation typically do not include modern security systems unless specifically stated.
Security Cameras
No mention of security cameras in the listing. This is not a standard feature mentioned for this type of property.
Private Entrance
This is a 2-onder-1-kapwoning (semi-detached house), meaning it shares one wall with a neighboring property. While it has its own entrance, it is not fully private as it is attached to another dwelling.
Automatic Gate
The listing mentions an oprit (driveway) but no automatic gate. Standard for properties in this price range in the Netherlands.
Video Door Phone
No mention of video door phone system in the property description or features.
Security Door & Window Hardware
The listing mentions original details such as paneeldeuren (panel doors) and glas-in-lood (stained glass), but does not specifically mention enhanced security hardware for doors or windows.
Gated Community
The property is located in a 'kindvriendelijke woonomgeving' (child-friendly residential area) on a 'fijne, brede en groene straat' (nice, wide and green street). There is no mention of a gated or secured community.
Wheelchair Accessible
The property spans 3 floors (parterre, 1e etage, 2e etage) and is described as a 'kluswoning' (renovation project) requiring renovation. Multi-story homes from 1933 with these characteristics are typically not wheelchair accessible without significant modifications.
Utilities & Technical
Laundry Room
The listing does not mention a separate laundry room or utility space. Only bathroom and standard living areas are described.
Smart Home
No smart home features are mentioned. The property is described as a 1933 house needing renovation, suggesting traditional construction without modern smart systems.
Ventilation System
The listing explicitly states 'Natuurlijke ventilatie' (natural ventilation), indicating no mechanical ventilation system is present. Only basic window ventilation is available.
Energy Efficiency
Solar Panels
Solar panels are not mentioned anywhere in the listing. The absence of any mention of solar panels, combined with the lack of an energy label and the mention of partial double glazing, strongly suggests no solar panels are present.
Double Glazing
The listing explicitly states 'Isolatie: Gedeeltelijk dubbel glas' (Insulation: partially double glazing). This confirms double glazing is present, albeit only partially, likely in newer sections while original windows (glas-in-lood) retain single glazing.
Triple Glazing
Given the property is a 1933 renovation-needed house (kluswoning) with only partial double glazing and no mention of any advanced window upgrades, triple glazing is extremely unlikely.
Heat Pump
The listing clearly states 'Verwarming: Cv-ketel' and 'Cv-ketel: Intergas HR (gas gestookt combiketel uit 2023, eigendom)'. This confirms a gas-fired combi boiler, not a heat pump.
Home Battery
No home battery is mentioned. Given the absence of solar panels and the reliance on a traditional gas combi boiler from 2023, a home battery system is not present.
Other Energy Efficiency Measures
The only notable energy efficiency measure is the replacement of the central heating boiler with a modern Intergas HR (high-efficiency) gas combi boiler in 2023. Otherwise, the property retains many original 1933 features (single glass in original windows, no visible insulation upgrades), and the listing explicitly classifies it as a 'kluswoning' (renovation project). The energy label is also not available, further indicating the property has not been rated for energy performance.
