Renovated corner home from 1910 in quiet Zaandam neighborhood

This corner house located at Noordervaldeurstraat 4 in the Boerejonkerbuurt neighborhood of Zaandam offers a unique opportunity to own a nearly century old family home that has been completely renovated to meet modern living standards. The property was originally built in 1910 and has undergone a comprehensive renovation in 2018 and 2019, transforming it into a comfortable residence while preserving its original character and charm.

The property sits on a plot of 116 square meters and has a total living area of 67 square meters distributed across two main living levels plus an attic storage space. The total volume of the building measures 237 cubic meters. Being a corner house, it benefits from additional light and often more space compared to mid terrace properties.

Upon entering the home through the hallway, residents are welcomed into a spacious open living area that combines the living room and kitchen into one cohesive space. The kitchen was installed during the 2018 renovation and features a light color scheme that contributes to the bright and airy atmosphere of the ground floor. The kitchen comes equipped with built in appliances including a refrigerator with freezer compartment, extractor hood, dishwasher, gas cooktop, and oven. A rear door provides direct access to the backyard and an open staircase leads to the upper floor.

The first floor contains three comfortable bedrooms accessed via a central landing. The bathroom on this level was completely renewed during the renovation and features a modern design with a shower, toilet, and washbasin. A separate toilet is available on the ground floor for added convenience during daily use.

Above the first floor landing, a hatch provides access to a practical storage attic where household items can be kept organized and out of sight.

The backyard faces south, which is considered an advantageous orientation in the Netherlands as it receives the most sunlight throughout the day. The garden measures approximately 36 square meters with dimensions of 6 meters in depth and 6 meters in width. The entire outdoor space has been thoughtfully laid out with paving and features a wooden terrace deck. A notable addition by the current owner is a veranda shed at the back of the garden, providing covered outdoor seating that can be enjoyed even during less favorable weather conditions. The garden is accessible via a rear path.

The 2018 renovation was extensive and addressed multiple aspects of the property. A new central heating boiler was installed, specifically a Vaillant model from 2019 that is included in the purchase. All window frames were replaced with new frames featuring double glazing, improving energy efficiency and comfort. Dormer windows were added to the rear of the roof, and skylights were installed on the front roof section to bring additional natural light into the upper floor. The entire garden was newly paved, the bathroom and sanitary facilities were completely renewed, the kitchen was replaced with a modern equipped version, and laminate flooring was installed throughout the home.

After acquiring the property following the renovation, the current owner made additional finishing touches according to personal taste and added the aforementioned veranda structure in the garden.

An important aspect for older homes in the Zaan region is the condition of the foundation. This property has been monitored since 2014 and underwent a formal foundation investigation in 2018. The results indicated an expected maintenance period of 25 years, with measurement data showing a stable condition. This provides reassurance regarding one of the most significant concerns for buyers of pre war properties in this area.

The property has an energy label D, which is typical for homes of this age even after renovation. Insulation measures include roof insulation, double glazing, and floor insulation. Heating and hot water are provided by the central heating boiler.

The Boerejonkerbuurt is situated in a quiet part of Zaandam, located near the border with Koog aan de Zaan. The location offers convenient access to daily amenities with supermarkets, schools, sports facilities, and walking parks all within walking distance. Public transportation options are readily available with train stations Koog Bloemwijk and Kogerveld nearby, along with various bus connections providing easy travel to surrounding areas.

For those interested in local culture and dining, the vicinity offers numerous hospitality and shopping options. The nearby open waterway provides opportunities for water recreation, which is a valued feature in the Zaanstreek region known for its strong connection to water.

Parking is available on public streets in the area. The property is offered at 325,000 euros costs to the buyer, which means the buyer is responsible for transfer taxes and notary fees in addition to the purchase price. The asking price translates to approximately 4,851 euros per square meter of living space.

The property is currently partially furnished according to the listing details. The transfer date can be negotiated between buyer and seller. The property is registered under full ownership at the Land Registry under parcel number ZAANDAM M 2219.

The external storage space of 7 square meters is provided by the free standing wooden shed in the backyard. The property features a mansard roof covered with tiles, mechanical ventilation, and TV cable connections. The building is classified as existing construction with specific designation as a corner house within a residential area that also borders a business park area.
