Layout

Ground floor – residential area
The private driveway runs along the right-hand side of the building past the original concrete bank vault wall, leading to the front door. You enter into a bright hallway with a staircase to the first floor, access to a toilet, a utility closet, central heating room, additional storage, and a lockable doorway to the current commercial space. From the hallway, you step into the cozy living room, where comfort and luxury blend beautifully. A modern gas fireplace adds warmth on winter nights, while the open kitchen with island and the beautiful garden room invite you to enjoy long dinners with friends and family. Wide metal sliding doors lead to this light-filled space, where large windows and two skylights flood the room with daylight and provide wonderful garden views. French doors open directly onto the upper terrace. The modern, garden-facing kitchen features an island and built-in appliances, including a Quooker Combi+ with 7-liter tank, induction cooktop, extractor hood, combi oven, fridge-freezer, and dishwasher. From the kitchen, you have a view of the covered veranda – ideal for outdoor cooking and dining under the skylights. Next to the kitchen is the utility room, with connections for a washer and dryer and its own entrance to the veranda and garden.

Ground floor – multifunctional commercial space
At the front of the property is a versatile commercial area, currently in use as a beauty salon. This space has a private entrance with canopy, a generous reception area, toilet, a pantry, central heating room, three treatment rooms with their own kitchenette, and an impressive original bank vault with door. The space is heated with its own central heating system, supplemented by three air conditioning units (heating/cooling). Thanks to the flexible layout, the space is easily adaptable for various uses. Whether you want a home business, a studio, or even an in-law suite, the possibilities are numerous. The separate entrance and the option to further divide this section make it ideal for rental, continued commercial use, or conversion into an independent living unit – subject to zoning regulations and municipal approval.

First floor
A fixed staircase leads to the first floor, where you're greeted by an impressive sense of space. The large landing connects four spacious bedrooms, a sizable storage room, and a luxurious bathroom featuring underfloor heating, a walk-in rain shower, double sink vanity, a comfortable bathtub, and a second toilet. High ceilings and skylights create a beautifully lit and airy ambiance throughout. An energy-efficient air conditioning unit with heating function ensures year-round comfort. A built-in workstation on the landing is perfect for working or studying from home.

Enjoy the impressive outdoor space
Not visible from the street, the expansive and lush garden behind the home sits directly on navigable water. In winter, you can store your boat on the ramp; in summer, simply step onto your boat or paddleboard from the dock to explore the waterways of Langedijk. This peaceful garden offers a serene view of the water, the small drawbridge, and the charming tower of the Kogerkerk. It delivers a unique sense of freedom and space rarely found in a village center. The garden includes a sun-soaked terrace with veranda and a lower level by the waterfront featuring a sheltered patio, a grassy area, and a boat ramp. A solid brick retaining wall spans the garden's width, separating the levels, with a stylish staircase providing a central connection between them. Elegant fencing adds both safety and visual harmony. Extending from the driveway is a shed with double doors and a rear entrance – perfect for storing garden tools and equipment.

Private land right up to the water!
The approximately 6-meter-wide strip of land running parallel to the water is fully owned – unlike many local properties where this must be leased from the municipality. This part of the plot is zoned as "garden."

Always private parking on your own property
Parking is never an issue here, with a private driveway that fits several cars – ideal for both residents and visitors.
