On one of the prettiest streets in Broek in Waterland—only minutes from Amsterdam—this unique detached home sits on a generous 1,138 m² freehold plot and offers approx. 176 m² of living space (NEN 2580). A beautifully landscaped, west-facing garden of around 50 metres deep provides privacy and open views over the protected Waterland meadows. At the rear of the garden, a fully self-contained annex adds exceptional flexibility: ideal for working from home, guest accommodation, or informal care.
The front house dates from 1895 and is designated a national monument (rijksmonument), radiating authenticity and character. The striking front façade features a gilded Tree of Life and elegant decorative molding beneath the roofline. Please note: the protected monument status applies to the front house; the rear section and later extensions are not part of the protected designation.
Originally part of a butcher’s shop with adjoining rooms, the property has been thoughtfully transformed into a comfortable and atmospheric family home with a garden room and workspace. During the restoration, great care was taken to preserve historic charm while enhancing modern comfort and sustainability. The home benefits from roof insulation, high-efficiency double glazing (HR glass), central heating, and partial underfloor heating (hallway and garden room).
Layout – Main House The entrance leads to a side hallway with access to the garden room, featuring a fireplace, high beamed ceiling and French doors opening onto the veranda and sunny garden. This room can also serve as a bedroom. The open-plan kitchen is fully equipped with a gas stove, oven, Quooker boiling-water tap, refrigerator, freezer, and a generous wall of cabinetry. From the dining area you enter the bright living room with abundant natural light, an attractive beamed ceiling and custom-built bookshelves. Upstairs is a spacious bedroom with dormer window and a bright bathroom with bathtub, shower and toilet.
Layout – Annex Set in the garden, the annex is fully self-contained and equipped with its own central heating, kitchen and bathroom—perfect as an office, practice space, guest house or informal care residence. Adjacent is a large wooden veranda with a well-insulated five-person jacuzzi.
