Spacious apartment with spectacular 76 m² rooftop terrace in charming Krommenie
Key Features
Upsides
- The approximately 76 m² rooftop terrace on the southeast side is an exceptionally large private outdoor space, offering sun from morning until evening in an urban setting.
- The apartment spans two full floors with a total living area of 113 m² and three genuine bedrooms, providing real spatial comfort that compares favorably with many houses.
- The property has been well maintained with a modern L-shaped kitchen installed in 2018, a Remeha combi boiler from 2016, and insulation including roof, cavity wall, and double glazing, resulting in energy label C.
- Krommenie offers an excellent combination of historic village charm, full daily amenities, and fast train connections to Amsterdam, Zaandam, and Alkmaar, all within easy reach of the Randstad.
- The VvE is properly organized with formal registration, an annual reserve fund, a maintenance plan, and building insurance in place, providing structural financial accountability for the building.
Downsides
- The asking price of 475,000 euros k.k. translates to over 4,200 euros per m², which is relatively high for the Krommenie area and may limit the buyer pool.
- Being an upstairs apartment in a building from 1935, there is no private parking, and the property relies on public parking, which in the village center can be competitive.
- The apartment is located on the first and second floor of a building with no elevator, which may be a disadvantage for those with reduced mobility or when moving heavy items.
- Although the VvE is properly organized and has a reserve fund, the monthly contribution of 140 euros represents a continuing cost on top of mortgage and utilities.
- The acceptance of the property is by mutual agreement (in overleg), which means there is no firm move-in date yet established, adding some uncertainty to the transaction timeline.

Hardwood Floors
The listing explicitly mentions 'een mooie eikenhouten vloer' (a beautiful oak wooden floor) in the living room.
Tiled Floors
The bathroom has a 'nieuwe gietvloer' (new cast floor), which is a type of tiled flooring. The kitchen also likely has tile flooring given the appliances and light dome.

Interior Style
Scandinavian
The apartment has a modern and stylish finish with oak floors, but the warm bioethanol fireplace and overall Dutch aesthetic differ from typical Scandinavian design which emphasizes minimalism and lighter color palettes.
Modern
The listing explicitly describes a modern and stylish (moderne en stijlvolle) finish. The kitchen is from 2018 with built-in appliances, there's a new cast floor in the bathroom, and the overall decoration is contemporary.
Industrial
While Krommenie has historical industrial heritage (zeildoek industry), the apartment itself is finished in a modern and stylish manner, not an industrial style. The building is on a characteristic historic street.
Mediterranean
The apartment lacks Mediterranean characteristics such as terracotta tiles, warm earth tones, or courtyard features. The large southeast-facing roof terrace differs from typical Mediterranean outdoor spaces.
Classic
The building dates from 1935, which gives it historical character. However, the interior has been modernized with contemporary finishes, making it a mix of classic structure and modern interior.
Exterior Style
Traditional Historic
The building is from 1935. While the street Noorderhoofdstraat has historic character from the old lintdorp and Krommenie has industrial heritage from the 17th-18th century, the building itself is not particularly traditional or historic in architectural style. The interior is described as modern and stylish.
Early 20th Century

Newly Build
The building was constructed in 1935, making it nearly 90 years old. It is clearly not newly built.
Kitchen
Oven
The kitchen (2018) with built-in appliances almost certainly includes an oven, as this is standard in a modern L-shaped kitchen installation in the Netherlands.
Refrigerator

Kitchen Island
The kitchen is described as an L-shaped kitchen setup, not a kitchen island.
Open Plan Kitchen
The description states the kitchen is behind the fireplace which serves as a separation between the sitting area and the dining area. The kitchen is integrated into the living space, suggesting an open-plan feel, though the bioethanol fireplace acts as a partial divider.
Pantry
There is a separate storage/utility room with connections for washer and dryer, but no dedicated pantry is mentioned in the kitchen area.
Stove
Modern Dutch kitchens from 2018 with built-in appliances almost universally include a stove or cooktop. However, the type (gas, electric, induction) is not specified.

This is a private apartment with its own private kitchen. Not a shared kitchen arrangement.
