Spacious semi-detached home with canal garden and luxury glass veranda
Key Features
Upsides
- The exceptionally long living room of approximately 13 meters provides remarkable spatial freedom and multiple layout possibilities that are rarely found in standard residential properties.
- The garden's direct location on canal water combined with the luxury glass-enclosed veranda creates a unique outdoor living experience that extends the usable season considerably.
- The enlarged bathroom with freestanding bath and walk-in shower represents a significant upgrade over standard bathroom installations and adds a touch of luxury to daily routines.
- Practical additions including the garage, utility room, attic storage, and water softener, together with the air conditioning system, contribute to comfortable everyday living.
- The A energy label combined with district heating, six solar panels, and full insulation suggests relatively low running costs and good sustainability credentials.
Downsides
- The property currently offers only three bedrooms, which may be insufficient for larger families or those requiring a dedicated home office space alongside other bedroom requirements.
- The east-facing orientation of the garden means the outdoor space receives morning sun but limited afternoon and evening sunlight, which may not suit all preferences.
- The location in Broek op Langedijk, while offering a peaceful residential environment, may require commuting for those working in larger cities such as Amsterdam or Haarlem.
- Some inconsistencies in the listing documentation, such as the energy label being listed as both A and A+ in different sections, may warrant clarification during the purchase process.
- The property is described as having a balcony of only 3 square meters, which represents minimal outdoor space on the building itself beyond the main garden area.
Description
This well-maintained semi-detached house is situated at Klaversloot 12 in the desirable Mayersloot district of Broek op Langedijk. Built in 2003, the property offers generous living spaces spread across two floors with an additional attic level, making it an ideal choice for families or those seeking extra room for home working.
The ground floor welcomes you with a practical entrance hall that provides access to the meter cupboard, toilet, and staircase leading to the upper floors. The corner-positioned kitchen is equipped with modern appliances, including an induction cooktop, extractor hood, dishwasher, refrigerator, combination oven, and a Quooker instant hot water tap. The open plan layout allows for easy interaction between the kitchen and living areas.
The living room is a standout feature of this property, extending approximately 13 meters in length. The expansive dimensions create a sense of grandeur and offer remarkable flexibility for furniture arrangement. Large windows and patio doors flood the space with natural light and provide seamless access to the rear garden. Currently configured with a dining area near the garden side, the room's proportions allow for various layout possibilities to suit different lifestyles.
Adjacent to the living room, an additional room with French doors offers versatility. This space currently serves as a home office but could equally function as a playroom, television room, hobby area, or practice space for musicians. The connection to the main living area while maintaining some separation makes it suitable for working from home without sacrificing family space.
The ground floor also provides access to the attached garage, which currently serves as practical storage and laundry space. The garage accommodates one car and is equipped with electricity and running water.
The first floor comprises two spacious bedrooms, one at the front and one at the rear of the house. The floor plan allows for the relatively straightforward creation of a third or even fourth bedroom if desired, making this property adaptable to changing household needs.
The enlarged bathroom is a notable highlight of this home. Fitted with a luxurious freestanding bathtub, a spacious walk-in shower, a toilet, and a vanity unit with sink, the room features a natural stone floor that adds an elegant touch. The generous proportions and quality finishes create a spa-like atmosphere.
The second floor is reached via the fixed staircase and contains a spacious landing with ample storage options. Here you will find the third bedroom, equipped with a skylight, providing natural light and ventilation. A practical attic provides additional storage capacity. An air conditioning unit is installed on the landing, serving multiple rooms and providing welcome relief during warm summer months.
The rear garden measures approximately 108 square meters with dimensions of 12 meters depth by 9 meters width. Oriented toward the east, the garden directly borders canal water, offering a unique waterfront living experience. The combination of water views, privacy, and tranquility creates a genuine feeling of escape. The garden is attractively landscaped with a balanced mix of paving, lawn, and planted borders, providing both sunny spots and shaded areas throughout the day.
A substantial glass-enclosed veranda at the rear of the garden effectively extends the living season. The fully glazed structure allows comfortable outdoor use from early spring through late autumn, serving as a true extension of the home. A wooden storage shed provides practical storage for garden equipment and furniture.
The property benefits from district heating, eliminating the need for individual gas supply and contributing to lower maintenance requirements. Six solar panels supplement electricity needs, while a water softener remains with the property. The home holds an A energy label, reflecting its good energy performance. The front facade received professional painting treatment in 2026.
Mayersloot is recognized as a popular residential neighborhood characterized by its quiet, green, and family-friendly environment. The area features numerous waterways and playgrounds, appealing to families with children. Daily amenities including shops, schools, and sports facilities are within comfortable walking distance. Major road connections are easily accessible, making commuting feasible to surrounding towns and cities.
The property also includes a balcony with approximately 3 square meters of building-related outdoor space, and a freestanding wooden storage shed in the garden.
