LAYOUT
Ground Floor with Garden
The ground floor offers plenty of possibilities and can even serve as a self-contained studio. With its own bathroom featuring a bathtub (the back wall tiling was renewed and a new vanity unit installed at the end of 2023), a compact kitchenette, and ample living space, this level is ideal as a guest suite, separate workspace, or for dual occupancy. Both the studio and the hallway provide access to the garden, which includes a shed with ample storage space—perfect for storing bikes.

First Floor with Terrace
This level serves as the main living area and forms the heart of the home. The deep window sills are perfect for relaxing and offer a panoramic view of the canal—the absolute showpiece of the house. Authentic details such as panel doors, wooden beams, classic door fittings, and a wooden floor emphasize the home’s charming character.
At the rear, you’ll find a spacious kitchen with access to the terrace, where you can enjoy dinner with a view of the (former) church well into the evening. The kitchen is equipped with high-quality built-in appliances, including a Bosch steam oven, dishwasher, 4-burner gas hob, extractor fan, Quooker, and fridge-freezer combination.

Second Floor
A characterful wooden staircase leads to the sleeping quarters, which also provide access to a separate laundry room. Once again, the classic character of the home shines through, with stained glass doors, a country-style sliding door, and other authentic details. This floor features two spacious bedrooms: one at the front and one at the rear of the house.
The bathroom on this floor is fitted with a toilet, a generous rain shower with stylish herringbone-tiled walls, a vanity with a round basin, and a mirror with integrated lighting.
The attic is accessible via the hallway and houses the central heating boiler (installed in 2024), as well as offering additional storage space.

To sum up, this home combines character and functionality. Authentic details give it a warm, historic feel, while modern features—such as partial underfloor heating, fiber-optic internet, a 2024 energy-efficient boiler, two contemporary bathrooms, and a well-equipped kitchen—offer the comfort of modern living. And all of this in one of the most desirable locations in Weesp.
