Charming Pre-War Corner Home with Deep Garden and Meadow Views

This pre-war corner residence is situated on Middel in the village of Westzaan, a location known for its rural character and scenic views over the surrounding polder landscape. The property dates back to 1936 and presents itself as a family home that combines period features with modern updates. The house is positioned at the end of a dead-end street that only sees local traffic, contributing to a quiet and private living environment.

Upon arrival, the characteristic facade of the corner dwelling is immediately noticeable. The exterior reflects the architectural style typical of the pre-war period in this region. The corner position gives the property a distinctive appearance compared to the adjacent homes in this ribbon development area.

Inside, the ground floor features an extended living room that spans approximately ten meters in length. This extension has created a generous open space that receives natural light through large window sections. The floor is finished with wooden flooring, which adds warmth to the interior. The layout allows for different functional zones within this extended area, suitable for both everyday living and entertaining.

At the rear of the ground floor, the kitchen was updated in 2021 and is equipped with modern built-in appliances. These include an induction cooktop with integrated extraction, a Quooker instant hot water tap, a double oven, and a dishwasher. Adjacent to the kitchen is a utility room that houses connections for a washing machine and dryer, keeping the main living areas free of laundry appliances.

The ground floor provides direct access to the garden through sliding doors, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

The garden extends to a depth of 37 meters, which is notably deep for a property of this size. The outdoor space is divided into sections, with a bridge connecting the area directly behind the house to a second section further back. This layout creates distinct zones within the garden. There is a covered seating area positioned towards the rear of the garden, providing sheltered outdoor space. The size and layout of the garden offer possibilities for various uses, from terrace areas near the house to more private spaces further from the street.

The first floor contains two bedrooms, both finished with herringbone pattern flooring. These rooms face the countryside, providing views over the adjacent meadows and polder landscape. Also located on this floor is the bathroom, which includes a shower, a bathtub, and a washbasin. A separate toilet is available on this level as well.

The second floor has been configured as a third bedroom. This space could serve various purposes depending on the needs of the occupants, such as a home office, hobby room, or guest bedroom. The room has adequate natural light.

In terms of energy efficiency, the property holds a C energy label. The insulation includes roof insulation, high-efficiency glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. Twelve solar panels were installed on the roof in 2022, which contribute to reduced electricity costs. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combination boiler from Intergas, installed in 2005.

An important note regarding the property is that the foundation has been monitored by the municipality of Zaanstad since May 2015. Prospective buyers should inquire about the current status and any recommendations related to this monitoring.

The location in Westzaan offers a rural living environment while maintaining reasonable accessibility to urban amenities. The village is part of the Zaan region and has preserved much of its historical character. Daily necessities, schools, sports facilities, and shops are accessible in the surrounding area. The property is situated at a distance that allows for relatively straightforward travel to Zaandam, Amsterdam, and other parts of the Randstad conurbation.

The immediate surroundings consist of open polder landscape, with unobstructed views over the meadows. This setting provides opportunities for walking and cycling directly from the home. The combination of a quiet residential street, views of the countryside, and proximity to larger urban centers characterizes the location.

The property is offered at an asking price of 500,000 euros, with the transfer costs to be paid by the buyer. The land is owned outright, with the plot consisting of two separate cadastral parcels that together form the total parcel area of 322 square meters. Public parking is available in the vicinity.

Transfer of the property will be by mutual agreement, allowing flexibility in the timing of the move. The listing advises prospective buyers to engage their own purchasing agent for representation during the transaction process.
