Huis Lagedijk 11B

Location: Why live in Amsterdam Zuid, when just a stone’s throw away you can also live in one of the most beautiful streets in the Netherlands, with all the same wonderful character, style and dynamics, but with the added luxury of generous living space, a luscious private garden front and back, and your own gated driveway which easily accommodates 2 cars! This semi-detached house (lovingly renovated from top to bottom with quality materials) is located close by the Zaan river, just opposite the world-famous heritage site the Zaanse Schans. The tree-lined Lagedijk dates back to the 15th century, and gently curves along the natural course of the river, revealing one jaw-dropping view after another of historical properties at every bend. This is quintessential Dutch living for your expat term in the Netherlands. The charm and character are supplemented by trendy shops, terraces and restaurants right at your doorstep, including micro-brewery De Hoop, the cutest chocolate shop you’ve ever seen, and the best bakery for miles around. Crossing the bridge, and through the Zaanse Schans, is a protected “Natura 2000” area, great for walking, cycling or jogging. Right around the corner, a ca 10 minute walk, is Zaandijk train station, bringing you to Amsterdam Central Station in ca 15-20 minutes, or Schiphol Airport in ca 25 minutes. Passing the train station by car immediately brings you to the A8 highway, from where you reach ring A10 Amsterdam in a mere 5-10 minutes, and Schiphol Airport in 20 minutes. Layout: The house is spacious and bright, and a lot of attention has gone into creating the optimal flow. The ground floor boasts a large, chic living room and dining area, with a comfortable bay window to drink your coffee and gaze at the birds in the garden. Directly connected to the stunning kitchen, so you keep in contact with your guests, but your dirty dishes stay out of site. From the kitchen, featuring authentic Morroccan zelliges and Royal Delft-Blue tiles, you step into the lovely back yard, with several seating options, a handy shed, and a backdoor to the driveway. The ground floor also has a separate toilet, and smart and generous storage space throughout. The airy staircase with vintage railing brings you to the first floor, where you’ll find the spa-like bathroom with a designer bath and taps, separate shower, double washbasin and the original terrazzo floor. There are two large bedrooms (previously three), both with double doors opening to a balcony. The master bedroom has a large built-in closet and a beautiful Disegnoluce designer ceiling light. The guest bedroom also functions as home-office, with an XL working table offering a spectacular direct view onto the Zaan river, a peek at some of the historical houses on the Zaanse Schans, and the never-ending variety of boats passing by. There is also a convenient seating area. The renovated attic (previously two bedrooms) offers additional space: under the original beams you have a second home-office and seating area (cum man-cave), and: your very own private gym area. Large new windows look out on both sides on to the majestic trees surrounding the property.
