Key Features
Upsides
- The property has been completely modernized and renovated, meaning new owners can move in without undertaking any immediate improvement projects.

Downsides
- Despite having insulation measures in place, the energy label is rated at E, which may indicate higher energy costs compared to more efficiently rated properties.
- Parking in the area requires permits and involves paid parking, adding an ongoing expense that is not always the case in suburban locations.
- The property dates from 1901, and even with recent renovations, older buildings can present hidden maintenance issues that newer constructions avoid.
- The free standing wooden storage shed has no insulation, limiting its usefulness for storing temperature sensitive items.
- The price per square meter of 5,099 euros is relatively high, which may limit the property's appeal to buyers with constrained budgets.
Description
This corner residence is situated in the Staatsliedenkwartier and Landstraten area of Alkmaar, a neighborhood known for its blend of historical character and family friendly atmosphere. The property was originally constructed in 1901 and has since been comprehensively modernized to meet contemporary living standards while retaining its classic architectural appeal. With a total living area of 141 square meters distributed across two main floors, the home offers ample space for various household configurations.
The ground floor welcomes residents with a neatly finished entrance that sets the tone for the interior design found throughout the property. The living room benefits from generous window sections that allow natural light to fill the space, complemented by sliding doors that provide direct access to the rear garden. The open plan kitchen is equipped with high quality built in appliances, a streamlined work surface, and sufficient storage capacity to accommodate everyday cooking needs as well as more elaborate meal preparations.
Also located on the ground floor is an additional room that can serve multiple purposes depending on the needs of the occupants. This flexible space works well as a home office, guest bedroom, or hobby room. The adaptability of this area adds practical value to the overall floor plan.
The first floor contains three bedrooms of varying sizes, all finished with contemporary colors and materials. These rooms can be configured according to personal preferences, whether that involves creating a master suite with walk in closet space or providing separate bedrooms for children. The bathroom on this level features a walk in shower, a vanity unit, and modern tile work. A separate toilet room is also present on this floor, which adds convenience for households with multiple occupants.
The outdoor space consists of a deep rear garden measuring 66 square meters with dimensions of 14 meters in depth and 4.70 meters in width. The garden faces south, which means it receives sunlight throughout much of the day during the summer months. The garden also includes a side section, and there is a free standing wooden storage shed for garden equipment and bicycles. Access to the garden is possible via a rear path.
In terms of technical specifications, the property has roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. Despite these measures, the energy label is rated at E, which may be due to the age of the building or specific assessment criteria. The heating system consists of an Intergas HR combination boiler installed in 2018, which is owned rather than rented. Additional features include a skylight, fiber optic cable connection, mechanical ventilation, and solar panels.
The Staatsliedenkwartier and Landstraten neighborhoods are positioned close to Alkmaar city center, where residents can find a variety of shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. Green spaces are also accessible in the vicinity, providing options for outdoor recreation. The location balances proximity to urban amenities with a relatively quiet residential setting.
Parking in this area operates on a permit system with paid parking, which is typical for central urban locations in Dutch cities. The property sits on a plot of 206 square meters with full ownership rights, as recorded in the cadastral register under number ALKMAAR F 3883.
The asking price is set at 719,000 euros, which translates to approximately 5,099 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available for viewing by appointment, with the acceptance terms to be negotiated. The interior is described as partially furnished, suggesting that certain fixtures and fittings may be included in the sale.
With four bedrooms in total, this property accommodates families of various sizes. The combination of recent renovations, a south facing garden, and a central location in one of Alkmaar's sought after neighborhoods presents a complete residential package for potential buyers seeking a move in ready home in this part of the Netherlands.
