Description
The property at Zwarte Dolfijn 27 is located in the Butterhuizen Noord neighborhood of Heerhugowaard. This spacious semi-detached family home was originally built in 1993 and was significantly extended in 2001 with a substantial addition that added considerable living space. The property sits on a plot of 285 square meters and offers 146 square meters of living area, complemented by 32 square meters of additional indoor space in the form of the garage.
Upon arrival, the front garden presents a well-maintained appearance with a green hedge providing privacy.

This is a convenient feature for those who drive electric or hybrid vehicles.
Entering the home, you step into a hallway that provides access to the meter cupboard, a toilet, the staircase to the first floor, the living room, and a door leading directly to the garage. This layout ensures practical circulation through the ground floor.
