Description
Original 1940s family home with contemporary extension in the countryside of Abcoude.
This family home is located at a crossroads of different areas. The original house was built in 1940, as part of a semi-detached house. An extension was completed on the south side in 2010. The parts go together harmoniously, with the original style features of the old and the comfort and facilities of the new era. The property has been well maintained and has therefore withstood the test of time. The house invites you to combine many living and working functions and is also suitable for multiple generations to live in.
Officially this is the outskirts of Abcoude, but emotionally this is the start of the (sailing) route from Amsterdam, Weesp and Driemond. This is also where you take your first steps into history, because the famous painter Piet Mondriaan created his first works along the Gein river from around 1900. From the provincial road, Gein Noord is a pleasant small road towards Abcoude, which is mainly used by cyclists and some local traffic. Fortunately, you also have a jetty here. Consider the size of a small boat or canoe, because pleasure boating remains limited in size here. There are open waterways to Utrecht and Muiden via the Vecht and the Weespertrekvaart (Gaasp) to Amsterdam. Het Gein leads from Abcoude to the green heart of the Ronde Venen.
The house is somewhat set back from the road. The forecourt is hidden behind bushes on the driveway, with its own parking facilities. The backyard is completely hidden from the view of passers-by. The official entrance is now located between the old and new parts. The original house on the right exudes the atmosphere of Art Deco, with stained glass windows and sliding doors, wooden floors and the fireplace in the living room. The eye-catcher here is certainly the Bullerjan wood stove from 2000. The intermediate room marks the transition to the modern garden room.
The traditional kitchen is directly connected to the dining room and the garden room.
The new part of the house is only on the ground floor. The connection is formed by a wide passage that is bathed in light thanks to the skylights and the use of a lot of glass. At the front of the new building is a versatile work or storage space. At the rear is a very spacious bedroom with separate dressing area and en-suite bathroom. The latter has a bidet, toilet, double sink and walk-in shower with rain shower. There is a view over the private garden all around.
Off the landing on the first floor of the original house are two more spacious bedrooms under the partly sloping roof and beams. The rooms are separated by a practical second bathroom from 1998, with bath, toilet and contemporary double sink. The room at the rear has a spacious terrace with an open view over the meadows and the garden.
Location:
The village of Driemond is within walking distance and is a small and active community. The facilities are modest but more than sufficient for a family with young children. There are several sports fields, even an ice skating club and a primary school.
In essence, Weesp is the closest place for daily shopping, sports and cultural facilities and excellent secondary education. Abcoude is within cycling distance and has a full range of services and facilities. The offer in the immediate area is aimed at a wide audience, with a huge choice of terraces, restaurants, pubs and stopping places.
Amsterdam is its closest neighbor. Zuidoost is accessible by bike, the padel and tennis courts are within walking distance. The capital city center is 15 minutes away by public transport.
The address is rural, but at the same time easily accessible. You can drive on the A1, A2 or A9 highway in just a few minutes. Do you rely on public transport? There is also plenty of choice: (provincial) bus stop almost on the doorstep. The metro to Amsterdam/Amstelveen is within cycling distance and Weesp has a full-fledged NS station.
