Description
Located in the vibrant centre of Aalsmeer this property offers a rare chance to own a distinctive freehold home within a lively community. The house sits on a prime plot that enjoys direct views of a pleasant waterway and is only a short walk away from the bustling high street, supermarkets, specialty shops and a primary school. Residents benefit from a rich cultural scene, an active sports club and easy access to major cities such as Amsterdam, Schiphol airport and The Hague.
The dwelling was originally constructed in 1951 and has been completely renovated and modernised since 2018 while preserving its original character. The exterior presents a classic freehold appearance with a well maintained façade and a solid roof structure that adds authenticity. The house is set back from the street and includes a sunny terrace at the rear, a practical shed for garden tools and a long private land path that leads directly to the waterway.
Upon entering the home you are greeted by a spacious hallway that houses a meter cupboard and provides access to a newly renovated toilet. The toilet features a modern hanging closet and an elegant natural stone basin. From the hallway the bright living room opens up, illuminated by large front windows and complemented by sliding doors at the rear that open onto the garden.
The living room is furnished with a solid wooden floor in a warm colour scheme and includes a comfortable pellet stove that adds both style and heat. Generous natural light fills the space thanks to the extensive glazing on the front façade and the rear doors that open to the outdoor area. The room’s layout creates a welcoming atmosphere for daily living and entertaining guests.
Adjacent to the living room is an open kitchen that benefits from additional illumination provided by a skylight above. The kitchen is equipped with a modern design from the brand Philippo and features an anthracite colour finish. Built in appliances include a five burner gas stove with a wide oven, a combination microwave, a dishwasher, a refrigerator and a freezer. The kitchen layout maximises space and offers a functional environment for cooking and meal preparation.
A gracefully designed staircase leads to the first floor which presents a loft like ambience. The upper level contains the sleeping area and a spacious bathroom. The bedroom enjoys a generous layout and is complemented by straight walls and a wooden floor that matches the style of the lower level. The visible roof structure on this floor contributes to an authentic character.
The bathroom is a luxurious space that is fully tiled and bathed in natural light. It includes a freestanding bathtub, a walk in shower equipped with a seat, two natural stone basins, a second toilet and a design radiator. Underfloor heating provides added comfort and the entire area is insulated to a high standard. The design radiator and the modern fixtures give the bathroom a contemporary feel.
The rear of the property features a sunny terrace that offers a pleasant outdoor living area. A practical shed provides storage for garden equipment and other items. A long private land path extends from the garden to the Kerkwetering waterway where direct water access is available. Although the path is too narrow for an official mooring the residents have the option to place a boat sideways along the water edge, a arrangement commonly used by neighbours in the area.
Walking from the house you reach the centre of Aalsmeer within a few minutes where a variety of horeca venues, supermarkets and retail stores can be found. Well known chains such as Hema and Kruidvat are present alongside local specialty shops. A primary school is located nearby, making daily routines convenient for families. The location also offers excellent transport connections, with fast road access to major highways and frequent bus services that connect to Schiphol airport, Hoofddorp station and Amsterdam Zuid station. Travel to Schiphol can be completed in approximately fifteen minutes by car or public transport.
Additional features of the property include an energy label C rating, full insulation, a central heating boiler and hot water supplied by a gas combi boiler from 2017 that is owned by the seller. Glass fiber internet is available throughout the home, providing high speed connectivity. Sufficient parking is possible via a permit that can be obtained for the front of the property.
