Living on Monnickendam's finest canal. This home on the Nieuwe Zijds Burgwal sits in the charming 19th-century "De Krim" quarter, part of the historic town centre with its picturesque streets. The old harbour, the Gouwzee and the beaches of the Hemmeland are close by, and the bus stop within walking distance connects to Amsterdam Noord metro station in about 15 minutes. Schools, a playground and a shopping centre are also nearby.
This immaculately maintained, municipal heritage-listed canal house has unobstructed views over the water and the three characterful towers of Monnickendam. In recent years the home has been thoroughly modernised while preserving its authentic details: largely renewed electrics, a new kitchen (2022), a new central heating system (2023) and a fully renewed bathroom (2025). The home is almost fully insulated and ready to move into.
Ground floor. The inviting living room looks out over the canal and the Speeltoren, with restored beams and a jatoba wood floor. The open, L-shaped kitchen is a light-blue 1950s-style Bruynzeel kitchen (designed by Piet Zwart) with an induction hob, dishwasher and oven. The bright rear room has a skylight and gives access to the garden and the bathroom (2025), which has a washbasin, washing machine connection, toilet and shower.
First floor. Three bedrooms with a sustainable cork floor, including a spacious master bedroom with restored beams. Dormer windows provide extra light and space.
Garden & shed. The west-facing back garden (approximately 50 m², green and well maintained) is reached via the shed. The shed itself is very spacious (22 m², spread over two floors plus a loft) and includes a recently completed, insulated work or guest room.
Monnickendam is popular for its authentic atmosphere, the harbour with restaurants and its excellent accessibility: Amsterdam is about a 20-minute drive away, and the Markermeer and Waterland are literally around the corner for those who love sailing and walking.
