Description
This is a home you truly need to see in person!
Charming 1920s detached home in a unique waterside location – featuring a sunny garden, three bedrooms, and original period details.
Located on the sought-after Prins Hendrikkade, just a short walk from Zaandam’s lively city center, this detached gem from 1925 offers over 106 m² of living space, three generous bedrooms, a sunny front and back garden, and stunning, unobstructed views over the Zaan riverbend. A true rare find!
SUSTAINABLE & FUTURE-PROOF
The house underwent a thorough renovation in 2022 and has been fitted with multiple sustainable upgrades. These include underfloor heating on all levels powered by a hybrid heat pump, a new high-efficiency (HR) combi boiler, and five solar panels. The modern electrical panel offers 9 circuits, 3 residual current devices, and a two-phase connection for the kitchen. The property is also well-insulated throughout.
CHARACTER & COMFORT
Upon entry, the original features immediately stand out: a beautiful wooden beam ceiling, a cozy bay window with stained glass, and authentic tiled walls with a granito floor in the hallway and bathroom. These period details create a warm, classic ambiance rarely found today.
This unique blend of historic charm, modern comfort, and an exceptional location makes this property a true dream home.

LOCATION & ACCESSIBILITY
Prins Hendrikkade lies in the quiet, green Burgemeestersbuurt, a charming 1920s–30s neighborhood right on the Voorzaan canal. Here, you enjoy the best of both worlds: peaceful waterfront living with the vibrant city center of Zaandam just a 10-minute walk away. Wake up to birdsong and watch the boats drift by in the evening sun from your front garden.
Shops, supermarkets, restaurants, schools, and daycare facilities are all within walking distance. The renewed city center, with its theatre, cinema, and library, is just around the corner. Excellent connections to Amsterdam, Alkmaar, and Purmerend: Zaandam Station is a 10-minute bike ride away, and highways A7, A8, and A10 are easily accessible. Free parking is available right outside your door.
