Key Features
Description
This terraced house is located at Wherekant 7 in Purmerend and offers a unique combination of waterfront living with modern comfort. The property was originally built in 1987 but has been significantly upgraded in recent years, with the ground floor receiving a complete renovation in 2024. The asking price is 495,000 euros buyer costs, which translates to approximately 4,714 euros per square meter of living space.
The house has a total living area of 105 square meters spread across three floors. The plot measures 134 square meters and includes both a front and back garden. The property features four bedrooms and two full bathrooms, making it suitable for families of various sizes. The total volume of the building is 373 cubic meters. Additionally, there is a free-standing stone storage shed with electricity connection, providing 6 square meters of external storage space.
The ground floor underwent a thorough renovation in 2024, resulting in a contemporary living space with smooth plastered walls and ceilings. The living room and open kitchen form one cohesive area, finished with a PVC herringbone floor and a lowered ceiling equipped with Hue lighting that can be controlled via an app or voice commands. The kitchen is fitted with high-quality built-in appliances, including a 90 centimeter Smeg stove, a Quooker instant boiling water tap, and a refrigerator-freezer combination. The ground floor also has underfloor heating for additional comfort. The meter cupboard was renewed and expanded in 2024 as well. From the living area, sliding doors provide direct access to the backyard.
The backyard faces southwest, ensuring plenty of sunlight throughout the afternoon and evening. The garden is largely paved and well-maintained with planted areas. A notable feature is the floating wooden dock measuring approximately 12.5 square meters, which provides a mooring place for a boat. The boat is available for takeover by the buyer. An electric sunshade is installed, which can be operated from inside the house, as can the electrical connections in the garden.
The first floor contains three bedrooms and a modern bathroom. The bathroom is equipped with a bathtub, a separate shower, a toilet, and a double vanity unit. A balcony at the rear of this floor offers a view over the water.
The second floor is accessible via a fixed staircase and features the fourth bedroom, a storage closet, and a second bathroom. This bathroom includes a shower, a sink, and a washing machine connection. The two main bedrooms on the upper floors are both equipped with air conditioning for climate control during warmer months.
The property has plastic window frames throughout, which require minimal maintenance and contribute to the energy efficiency of the home. The energy label is rated A, indicating good insulation and low energy consumption. Specific insulation measures include roof insulation, high-efficiency glazing, wall insulation, and floor insulation. Heating is provided by city heating supplemented by partial underfloor heating on the ground floor. Hot water is also supplied via the city heating system. The house has a mechanical ventilation system to ensure proper air circulation.
The location on Wherekant places the property directly along navigable water, which is a distinctive feature in the Purmerend area. Despite this waterfront setting, the house is situated on a quiet road within a residential neighborhood. The center of Purmerend, referred to locally as the Stadje, is within walking distance, offering a variety of shops, restaurants, and other amenities. Schools, sports facilities, and public transportation are all available in the immediate vicinity. The property also benefits from good accessibility to main roads connecting to surrounding cities and the Randstad region.
Parking is available on the property itself via a private driveway, though the surrounding area also has paid public parking options. The roof is a composite structure covered with bituminous roofing material and tiles.
The property is being offered with acceptance in consultation, allowing for flexibility regarding the transfer date. The listing indicates the house is available and ready for viewing. Given the combination of the recent renovations, the waterfront location with private boat dock, the practical layout with four bedrooms and two bathrooms, and the energy-efficient features, this property represents a move-in ready home in a sought-after location in Purmerend.
