53 Zaanstraat

Live in a move-in-ready apartment with high ceilings, plenty of natural light, and lots of greenery right outside your door. Welcome to Zaanstraat 53. You’ll be in the charming Spaarndammerbuurt neighborhood with its beautiful architecture, just around the corner from Museum Het Schip and Westerpark. This well-maintained two-room apartment on the first floor features a cozy living room with a south-facing balcony and a spacious bedroom. I’d love to invite you for a viewing.

Tip:
Be sure to watch the video for additional atmospheric shots, and definitely take a moment to explore our virtual 3D tour—available on Funda or our website. You can take a virtual walkthrough of the entire home and immediately get a good sense of the layout and the rooms. You can measure the dimensions yourself and, with a single click, remove all the furniture to view the home as it would look empty. This way, you’ll be well-prepared for the viewing.

The apartment:
Even in the stairwell, you can tell this is a well-kept building: neatly maintained and filled with natural light. You enter on the first floor, where the pleasant natural light and the high-quality finishes immediately catch your eye. Light-colored engineered wood flooring runs throughout the apartment, and the walls are smoothly plastered; together with the high ceilings, this creates a spacious feel.

The living room has double doors leading to the balcony. The balcony faces south, so you can sit here in the sun all day long—perfect for a cozy balcony bar to wind down the day outdoors. The open kitchen is fully equipped with a four-burner gas stove, an exhaust hood, a refrigerator with freezer, a new dishwasher, and plenty of storage space.

The bedroom is nice and spacious and offers plenty of room for a double bed and a wall of closets. The bathroom is en suite and equipped with a bathtub with a shower, a sink, and a washing machine hookup. The toilet is separate, which is nice.

Practical information: In addition to an indoor storage room, there is an extra storage room in the attic.
