Description

UNIQUE MOVE-IN READY 3-ROOM APARTMENT IN THE HEART OF ALKMAAR

Wonderful living in a historic (former) cheese warehouse in Art Nouveau-style from 1674, with the front façade on the Houttil and the rear façade overlooking the Voordam canal, just steps from Alkmaar’s famous cheese market. This remarkable monumental building combines centuries-old charm with modern living comfort.

Authentic wooden beams, tall windows, and a ceiling that breathes history – you can feel the past in every corner. At the same time, you enjoy a fully renovated apartment (2023) with underfloor heating, sleek finishes, and a brand-new kitchen (2024). A home with character and class, where old and new come together in perfect harmony.

Aera
The location could hardly be better: right in the historic heart of Alkmaar, with the canals literally at your doorstep. Here, you live above the city’s vibrant life yet in complete tranquility. Within walking distance are cozy terraces, the well-known cheese market, shops, restaurants, and cultural hotspots. The train station and bus stops are nearby, as are several parking garages. For residents, a municipal parking permit is available.

Layout
The apartment (68 m²) is smartly designed and equipped with all comforts. Through the entrance and staircase or elevator, you reach the spacious living room, where the original wooden beams and tall windows immediately catch the eye. The natural light and canal view create a unique living experience. The modern open kitchen (2024) connects seamlessly and is equipped with – among others – a steam oven, fridge-freezer combination, dishwasher, oven-microwave, induction cooktop, and two large storage cabinets.

From the entrance hall, you access both the bathroom and the two well-proportioned bedrooms. The bathroom is modernly finished and features a walk-in shower and double washbasin. The separate toilet follows the same contemporary design, and a practical storage space is centrally located in the hall. Both bedrooms feature tall windows with sunshades. The entire apartment is neatly finished with a wooden floor WITH underfloor heating, smooth plastered walls, and wide window sills that emphasize the monumental character.
