Spacious and Sustainable Family Home with Water Views in Den Helder

This property is situated at the end of a block of four similar homes, where this particular house is largely detached and only connected to the adjacent building for a small portion. The location is notably quiet, with only local traffic at the rear and a view at the front over a sidewalk, cycle path, waterway, and open water. From the home, residents can enjoy a pleasant unobstructed view over the canoe route, the green surroundings, and plenty of light and air. The setting is green, water-rich, peaceful, and clearly family-friendly, providing an attractive backdrop for this well-built and visibly well-maintained residence.

The maintained character of the home is evident not only in its general appearance but also in the maintenance and sustainability improvements that have been carried out. The facades were professionally cleaned, impregnated, and insulated in 2022. The current owners have made thoughtful investments in various energy-saving and sustainable measures, resulting in an A energy label, with the possibility that a new measurement could yield an even more favorable rating. The roof was insulated with glass wool in 2008, the ground floor was fitted with SuperQuilt insulation in 2017, and all plastic window frames and dormer windows feature HR++ glass. Only the front facade cladding of the integral storage room and the front door are made of wood with double glazing, and these were painted in 2026 and are in excellent condition. The property also has a Remeha solar boiler with two solar collectors and a 200-liter storage tank from 2017, a Remeha Tzerra central heating boiler also from 2017, and nine full black LG solar panels, also installed in 2017.

The original layout of this type of home was already good, and the current owners have only strengthened this further. Everything is remarkably spacious in design. Whether it is the living room, the three bedrooms, the bathroom, the separate toilet with washbasin on the upper floor, or the attic with two dormer windows creating a wonderfully light-filled room, the whole feels generous, logical, and very pleasant to use. The home can also be easily furnished and styled to personal taste. Floors, walls, ceilings, kitchen, sanitary facilities, and tiling are executed in a neutral and solid base, meaning residents can either continue with it as is or relatively easily apply their own taste and finishing. The foundation laid here is more than good.

The outdoor spaces complement the interior seamlessly. The rear garden is excellently positioned for afternoon and evening sun, making it a pleasant extension of the interior space. Here one finds a neat wooden shed with electricity, an outdoor tap, and a well-functioning electric awning on the rear facade. Both the garden and the home are accessible from the rear, which is always practical. At the front, there is a piece of front garden that not only contributes to extra privacy but can also be a pleasant spot to sit in the shade and look out over the water.

The property is positioned in the Nieuw Den Helder district, more or less at the city edge, with a view of the water of the attractive canoe and boating route that runs through Den Helder and extends to Julianadorp. Residents live here a short distance from the Mariëndal nature and recreation area, De Helderse Vallei, and of course also from forest, dunes, beach, and sea. The facilities of the Duinpassage shopping center are also nearby. The area is ideal for those who like to be outdoors and enjoy walking, running, cycling, or water sports, alone, together, or with a pet. Den Helder also annually ranks among the sunniest places in the Netherlands.

Many daily amenities are pleasantly close by. These include schools, sports clubs, associations, supermarkets, butcher shops, bakeries, stores, take-away restaurants, and public transport, including bus stops and Den Helder Zuid station.

The property was built in 1970. The plot size measures approximately 159 square meters. The usable floor area in the home measures approximately 132 square meters. The usable floor area in the integral storage room measures approximately 7 square meters. The usable floor area in the shed measures approximately 9 square meters. The above usable areas (except the plot) have been measured in accordance with industry-wide measurement instructions. The energy label is A.

The Remeha central heating boiler is from 2017 and is owned. The nine solar panels date from 2017 and are owned. There is a Remeha solar boiler with two solar collectors and a 200-liter storage tank. The meter cupboard is equipped with a distribution board with circuit breakers. All floors are basically concrete. The ground floor is fitted with SuperQuilt insulation, while the roof is insulated with approximately 10 centimeters of glass wool. All plastic window frames and dormer windows feature HR++ glass.

The window frames, rear door frame, rear door, and two dormer windows are made of plastic. Only the front facade cladding of the integral storage room (at the front) and the front door are made of wood. The facades were professionally cleaned, impregnated, and insulated in 2022.

The four spacious bedrooms are distributed over the first and attic floors, with the attic featuring two plastic dormer windows. The spacious, timeless kitchen with a beautiful view of the surroundings includes a Smeg gas stove with oven, a matching Smeg extractor hood, and a close-in boiler. The worktop is made of composite material.

The bathroom includes a bath/shower combination with a glass screen, a vanity unit, and an openable window with a ventilation grille, which is pleasant for daylight and natural ventilation. There is a wall-hung toilet with washbasin on the ground floor as a guest toilet, and a separate wall-hung toilet with washbasin on the upper floor, pleasantly separate from the bathroom.

The low-maintenance rear garden has more than sufficient terrace space, green accents, and offers remarkable privacy without being overlooked from behind. The position relative to the sun is excellent, benefiting from afternoon and evening sun. The garden also has a neat wooden shed with electricity, an outdoor tap, and a well-functioning electric awning on the rear facade.

There is plenty of storage space available, including in the integral storage room at the front, in the shed, and in a closet on the front attic. On the front attic, where daylight enters and ventilation is possible via a plastic skylight, there are connections for the washing machine and dryer.

The oak parquet floor in the hall and living room combines nicely with the tiles in the kitchen. A major advantage is that the floor can easily be sanded and oiled in a desired color. The thresholds have been removed, giving the whole a beautiful, calm, and continuous base. The walls and ceilings form a good, sleek base, making it relatively easy to apply one's own living style. The same applies to the floors, which are flat and therefore suitable for easy provision of the desired floor finish.

Parking is free (without a permit) in the immediate vicinity. The home is pleasantly situated both within the street itself and relative to the amenities in the district. Many daily conveniences are quickly available and within walking and cycling distance, such as the shops in the Duinpassage and those at the Marsdiepplein with the adjacent Marsdiep shopping area. The Helderse city center, the De Schooten district, and other districts are quickly and easily accessible thanks to the excellent network of cycle paths that practically starts at the doorstep, and by car within minutes.

Public transport is also conveniently located; both a bus stop and NS station Den Helder Zuid are in the immediate vicinity. The station can be reached in about ten minutes on foot and by bicycle naturally even faster. Dunes, beach, and sea are never far away in Den Helder; strandslag Duinoord is about two kilometers away, which is about ten minutes by bicycle.

Living in this location means living in a spacious, family-friendly environment. Various childcare facilities and schools can be found in the immediate vicinity, as well as secondary schools. Den Helder has many active residents, which is why there is a considerable diversity of sports clubs, associations, and gyms.
