Charming semi-detached home with sunny garden near historic Weesp center
Key Features
Description
This charming semi-detached house is situated on G.H. Breitnerstraat in the Schildersbuurt neighborhood of Weesp, a characteristic and historic town located in the province of North Holland. Built in 1957, this property offers approximately 90 square meters of living space plus an additional 15 square meters on the attic floor, all positioned on a generous plot of 193 square meters.
The house welcomes you through a spacious entrance hall that features a meter cupboard, toilet, coat closet, and a half-open staircase leading to the first floor. From the hall, you enter the bright living room and separate dining area, where the characteristic bay window immediately catches the eye. French doors on the side of the house provide direct access to the side garden, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor connection. The ground floor layout is playful and versatile, with distinct living zones that flow naturally into one another.
The practical kitchen is equipped with various built-in appliances and includes a handy small cellar for extra storage. A freestanding wood-burning stove adds warmth and character to the living space. The kitchen extends into the extended section of the house, currently functioning as a pleasant office space. Thanks to the sliding doors leading to the backyard and two skylights in the extension, this area feels pleasantly light and airy.
The first floor comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms. Two bedrooms are located at the rear of the house, one of which has access to the balcony. The third bedroom is situated at the front. The central bathroom on this floor features a walk-in shower, vanity unit, and connections for a washing machine and dryer. The attic floor includes an intermediate space with a toilet and sink, as well as a fourth bedroom equipped with a dormer window, roof windows, and storage space. Due to limited standing height, this floor is ideal as a guest room, hobby space, home office, or practical additional storage.
Outside, the property boasts front, side, and rear gardens totaling approximately 110 square meters. The south-facing rear garden offers a sunny spot for outdoor relaxation. The garden is low-maintenance with attractive paving and features an outdoor tap, a charming covered lounge area, and a freestanding stone storage shed of no less than 12 square meters equipped with electricity. This storage space is perfect for extra storage, a hobby room, or bicycle storage.
The location is particularly appealing for families. The house is situated on a quiet street in a beloved part of Weesp, within walking distance of the historic town center. Here you will find a pleasant mix of restaurants, terraces along the water, local specialty shops, and daily amenities. Schools, childcare facilities, sports facilities, and supermarkets are all in the immediate vicinity.
Weesp is known for its green surroundings and location along the River Vecht, offering ample opportunities for walking, cycling, or boating. The accessibility is excellent. The NS railway station of Weesp is a short cycling distance away and provides fast connections to Amsterdam, Utrecht, and Almere. The roads toward Schiphol Airport, the Gooi region, and surrounding cities are easily accessible.
This property comes with several notable features including solar panels, a Vaillant combination boiler from 2021 owned by the homeowner, double glazing and HR glass, and an energy label C. The house is offered on freehold land (volle eigendom) and has no hidden surprises. The measurement is based on NEN 2580 standards and has been measured by a professional organization.
