Grote Sluis 2

This property was designed by architect Ad Tel and has been enjoyed by its current owners for almost 40 years. The house has an interesting layout and offers plenty of space. The bright living room features a cosy open fireplace and connects to the kitchen/dining room. Both rooms enjoy unobstructed views over the water. Sliding doors open directly onto the garden, with beautiful uninterrupted views across the water.

Speaking of the garden: it borders directly on the open waters of the Mooie Nel, offering panoramic views and a fascinating scene throughout the seasons! The garden also has its own private jetty with an electric boat lift.

A fantastic place to sit outside, enjoy a barbecue, take in the views or head out for a boat trip straight from your own garden! It is precisely this waterside location, with its beautiful views, that makes the property so attractive. On the ground floor, there is a utility/technical room, as well as a spacious integral garage with its own cellar for storage. In addition to parking, the garage offers possibilities for use as a home practice or hobby room. Upstairs, there is plenty of space with five bedrooms and two bathrooms. The main bedroom at the front features fitted wardrobes and an en-suite bathroom. Two bedrooms at the rear provide access to the large south-west-facing balcony overlooking the garden and water. There is also a loft extending across the full width of the house. In 2001, the property was extended with the addition of the garage and an extra bedroom above.

The surrounding area is equally attractive. Here, you live in a quiet street where children still play outside and outdoor living is part of everyday life. The Spaarne is literally at the end of your garden, offering plenty of opportunities for boating, swimming and recreation. The Spaarnwoude recreational area is also nearby, with extensive walking and cycling routes and a variety of sports and leisure facilities, including Spaarnwoude Public Golf Course, several riding schools and Snowplanet’s indoor ski slope. The surrounding area offers amenities such as schools, shops and sports clubs. Both Amsterdam and Haarlem are easily accessible from Spaarndam. Haarlem’s charming city centre is within cycling distance, while Amsterdam is just a short drive away. The beautiful Kennemerduinen dunes and the beach are also easily accessible. A lovely combination of space, tranquillity and waterside living!
