This spacious detached bungalow, designed by architect Jan Rietveld in 1970, features a striking two-level layout with a beautiful round staircase. Positioned on a generous plot in Broek in Waterland, the sloping driveway leading to the former garage adds an extra architectural dimension. Parking on-site (for multiple vehicles) is no problem at all. There's even a charging station for your hybrid or electric car, efficiently powered by solar panels.

The home's layout is exceptionally smart, with a split-level design offering a semi-sunken sleeping floor and a semi-elevated living area. In total, the house includes 5 bedrooms (previously 6).

The location within the village is truly ideal. Within walking distance you'll find restaurants, schools, and a direct bus connection to Amsterdam. Just a little farther and you’re surrounded by wide, open pastures. By bike, you can easily reach the Hemmeland recreational area (Monnickendam), Volendam’s harbor, and the historic center of Edam. Amsterdam is also easily accessible via scenic Amsterdam North.

Layout:

Living Level:
Front door/hallway accessible via a short 'floating' staircase made of concrete steps. The spacious, light-filled entrance also connects to the sleeping quarters via a steel staircase, toilet. Adjacent to the hall is a study (or bedroom). From the hall, elegant pivot doors lead into the generously sized, garden-facing living room. Key features include large windows overlooking the garden and water, a cozy open fireplace, and solid oak flooring. The modern open-plan kitchen, equipped with built-in appliances, flows seamlessly from the living area. Tucked around the corner is the TV room—perfect for lounging.

Sleeping Level:
Accessible directly from outside or via the living level. This surprisingly bright floor is surrounded by windows! A central hallway leads to four bedrooms, a large storage room, laundry area, and a luxurious bathroom with a freestanding tub, washbasin unit, walk-in shower, and second toilet.

The surrounding garden offers plenty of privacy. Mature landscaping encircles the home, and a grassy lawn is laid out at the back. Thanks to the large windows in the living area, you have stunning views of the water and the private jetty—perfect for mooring a boat. On warm summer evenings, fire up the BBQ and relax in the covered outdoor lounge, also offering serene water views.
