Beautiful and very well-maintained family home of 176 m² with the most stunning garden in Broek in Waterland!

This listed national monument is located on De Erven, one of the most beautiful streets in the heart of this charming village. The house itself was built in the 19th century (1895) and has been completely restored and renovated with passion. The roof is insulated, and the windows are fitted with high-efficiency double glazing. The former butcher’s shop with residence, slaughterhouse, and stables has been transformed under architectural supervision into a comfortable and tasteful home with garden room and office. The entire property has central heating, and both the hallway and the garden room feature underfloor heating.

LOCATION Broek in Waterland is one of the most picturesque villages in the Waterland region, located just north of Amsterdam. Living here means enjoying peace and quiet while having Amsterdam within easy reach. By bike, you are quickly in the city. The distance to the A10 and the IJ-tunnel is just 5 kilometers. Public transport is excellent as well: buses run frequently to the North/South metro line terminus in Amsterdam North and to Amsterdam Central Station. The village also offers amenities such as shops, a well-regarded primary school, and sports clubs. A fantastic place if you are looking for tranquility, yet want Amsterdam just around the corner.
