Helgoland 14, Zaandam

A spacious and waterfront, splitlevel townhouse with a garden of almost 30 metres deep!

Living on "The Island" means: a quiet and very child friendly location with only local traffic which is only a bridge away from the bustling centre of Zaandam. The Island is a haven of tranquility and is surrounded by the rippling water of the Voorzaan – upon which this house too borders. Enjoying a daily holiday feeling at home, yet living close to all amenities: how ideal is that!

This luxurious and spacious townhouse (1995) offers plenty of living space (almost 200 m2 of living area!) and has a unique split-level layout with on the ground floor a spacious office and a fully garden-oriented living room with sunroom and high ceiling (3.82 metres); one floor higher we find the cosy living kitchen with French balcony; another floor higher 3 bedrooms and the bathroom; and on the top floor the full-fledged 4th bedroom.

The whole is situated on a very spacious plot with a sunny south-west-facing back garden no less than 29 metres deep. A lovely, sheltered spot that is also directly adjacent to the water of the Voorzaan. There is a shared floating jetty for mooring small vessels.

About the location and the neighbourhood:
Surrounded by the water of the Voorzaan and the boats sailing by, it is not without reason that The Island is such a highly sought after area. As soon as you cross one of the two bridges towards the neighbourhood, you immediately feel the peace and quiet and the wonderful holiday feeling.

There is almost exclusively local traffic in the area and it is therefore a very pleasant residential area for children, with playgrounds and a football field available on the island. There is a primary school almost directly across the bridge and a childcare centre is available on the island itself.

The 2 bridges connecting the neighbourhood to the mainland ensure that all the daily amenities in the centre of Zaandam can be reached very quickly. The main train station in Zaandam is a 6-minute bike ride away, from where there are fast train connections to Amsterdam Central Station (12 minutes). Amsterdam is so close that even with the (electric) bicycle or scooter the city can be reached relatively quickly. The highways (A8, A10 and A7) are also easily accessible.

Layout of the house:
Ground floor:
Behind the front door, we find the entrance hall with meter closet, guest toilet with hand basin and access to both the office and a hallway with stairs to the living room.

The spacious office (former garage) with its own entrance is a perfect home office where you can also receive clients without them entering the home's privacy.

The spacious, fully garden-oriented living room with a glass sunroom has a high ceiling of 3.82 metres and therefore enjoys a lovely, spacious atmosphere with plenty of natural light and a nice view over the private garden. There is a neat finish with a laminate floor with underfloor heating and access to the garden through double sliding doors.

First floor:
From the landing, there is access to the cosy living kitchen with bay window/French balcony. Here too, there is a neat finish with a laminate floor. The modern kitchen is equipped with professional appliances from Siematic, Liebherr and Hakpro: a gas stove, oven, steam oven, microwave, fridge, freezer and a dishwasher.

Second floor:
From the landing, there is access to 3 bedrooms – all neatly finished with a laminate floor - and the spacious bathroom with recessed spotlights, a second toilet, a washbasin with vanity unit, a bath tub and a spacious walk-in shower.

Third floor:
Via the fixed staircase on the second floor, we reach the spacious third floor with spacious landing/front attic and separate 4th bedroom. The amount of space makes it also possible to create a 5th bedroom here. There is a spacious dormer window.

Garden:
The incredibly deep, sheltered and very green garden is located on the southwest and features a large tiled terrace framed by green borders with beautiful sycamores and a meandering path to the large deck terrace at the back of the garden that directly borders on the waterfront. From here, you also reach the shared jetty.

Parking:
Parking on the private driveway for 2 cars.
