Split-Level Home with Water Views and Private Dock in Wormerveer

This split-level house located at Schakelplein 59 in the Wormerveer West district offers a unique living experience along the water. Designed by architect Wim Klaassen in collaboration with Peter Copier, the home was conceived with a specific vision to allow sunlight to penetrate deeply into the interior and provide expansive views of the garden and water beyond. The property spans 127 m² of living space on a 134 m² plot, featuring three bedrooms and an energy label A rating.

The split-level design creates an interesting and dynamic living space spread across four floors. Built in 1997, this terraced house has been well maintained and thoughtfully updated over the years. The location along Koksloot provides residents with direct access to the water, with a private dock for boat mooring.

The ground floor welcomes you with an enlarged entrance hall that provides access to various areas of the home. The hallway features a coat closet and a separate toilet room with a small sink. From the hall, another exterior door leads to a bicycle storage area. Throughout the entire ground floor, a stylish slate tile floor has been installed with underfloor heating, creating both a comfortable living environment and a cohesive aesthetic.

The living room on the ground floor stands out for its impressive dimensions and abundant natural light. Large windows and a high gallery/vide enhance the sense of space while providing stunning views toward the garden and the water. The design successfully achieves the architect's goal of creating a bright, open living space where residents can feel connected to the outdoors while inside the home.

Adjacent to the dining area is the kitchen, which features a generous U-shaped configuration installed in 2015. The kitchen design incorporates wood accents, deep drawers, and a quality countertop. It comes equipped with modern appliances including a five-burner gas cooktop, extractor hood, dishwasher, hot air oven, freezer, and refrigerator, making it fully functional for contemporary living needs.

The intermediate level of the home hosts a very spacious, multifunctional room with access to a rooftop terrace. Currently serving as a workroom or hobby space, this versatile area could easily be adapted for other uses such as a TV room or children's play area. The room offers dual perspectives with views toward the courtyard at the front and overlooking the living room, garden, and water at the back.

The second level of the home features three generously sized bedrooms distributed across two different elevations. The largest bedroom, located at the front of the house, includes a built-in closet wall for ample storage. The two bedrooms at the back of the property are equally spacious and can accommodate double beds comfortably. This layout provides flexibility for families of various sizes or for creating guest rooms, home offices, or other specialized spaces as needed.

From the landing, a storage area is accessible where the washing machine and dryer can be conveniently placed. The bathroom has been thoughtfully designed with a bathtub that also functions as a shower, a second toilet, a sink, and a large towel radiator for added comfort. The sink and toilet in the bathroom were renewed in 2024, ensuring modern amenities and updated fixtures in this important space.

The outdoor areas of this property are designed to maximize enjoyment of the waterfront location. A large sliding door connects the living room to the beautifully landscaped garden. To the right of the terrace stands a storage shed for gardening tools and equipment. The garden itself has been planted with a wide variety of plants and vegetation, creating an attractive outdoor space that changes with the seasons. The garden measures 57 m² with dimensions of 10.5 meters deep and 5.4 meters wide and is situated on the north side of the property.

One of the most distinctive features of this home is its private dock at the water, which offers more than just a convenient place to moor a boat. This space provides an excellent opportunity to enjoy the sun throughout the day while observing ducks, birds, and other wildlife that frequent the area. The views extend across the water to reeds and other vegetation on the opposite bank, creating a peaceful and natural setting. The location along the waterway offers open connections to the Guisveld nature area and good navigation possibilities for exploring the Zaan region by boat.

The property includes several practical and energy-efficient features such as roof, wall, and floor insulation. The wooden window frames are mostly fitted with HR++ glass, with the remainder having double glazing or toughened glass. Heating and hot water are provided by an HR boiler (Vaillant, 2010), and underfloor heating on the ground floor contributes to the overall comfort of the home. The property has an energy label A, reflecting its good energy performance.

The neighborhood offers a quiet residential setting with convenient access to amenities. Schools and the town center are nearby, while a bus stop is within walking distance. For those who enjoy outdoor activities, a sports club is just a short bike ride away. The Noordsterpark provides opportunities for walking, jogging, and running. The property's location also benefits from good connections to main roads and the train station, facilitating travel to Alkmaar, Zaandam, Purmerend, and Amsterdam.

The technical specifications of the property include a flat roof covered with bitumen roofing and a building volume of 484 m³. The home has a total of five rooms, including three bedrooms, with one bathroom and one separate toilet. Outdoor features include exterior sun blinds, mechanical ventilation, and TV cable connectivity.

Parking is available as public parking in front of the property, and there are even spaces equipped with chargers for electric vehicles. This split-level home represents an opportunity to live in a thoughtfully designed property with excellent water access and proximity to both nature and urban amenities.
