Broad Weather 78

Construction number 12 - two-room apartment 55 m2/ west-facing balcony, 1st floor, energy label A+++

Type 5, mirrored

This two-room apartment is located on the first floor and is accessible via the gallery at the rear. This gallery, overlooking the communal courtyard with garden, parking spaces, and bicycle storage, is accessible via one of the two external staircases. Because this building number is located in the corner of the gallery, this spot is nicely sheltered and easily accessible from both the external staircases and via the main entrance on Breedweer. There is an elevator, because although climbing stairs is excellent for your fitness, an elevator is very convenient when carrying heavy items or groceries.
The bedroom is adjacent to the gallery. The living room faces the Parallelweg with large windows and sliding doors to a lovely west-facing balcony. Here you can enjoy the afternoon and evening sun for a long time.
The kitchen will be delivered as a shell, so buyers can furnish it entirely to their own taste and needs. In this day and age, we naturally cook with electricity. The heating is also based on this. Tangible, not visible, because the floors are the heat source. This also applies to the bathroom with walk-in shower and sink and, in this type of home, a separate toilet room with washbasin. These are tiled and equipped with high-quality sanitary ware and taps. The bedroom (approximately 9 square meters!) has its own walk-in closet, while the technical annex facility room houses the connections for the washing machine and dryer.

Layout: main entrance via Breedweer, with mailboxes and doorbells. Communal hall with passage to the staircase and elevator. Porch with access to the gallery.
1st floor: gallery. Entrance to the apartment. Hall with meter cupboard. Toilet with wall-mounted toilet and washbasin. Storage room annex technical room for installations and connections for washing machine and dryer. Bedroom (± 10 m3) with separate walk-in closet. Tiled bathroom with sink and walk-in shower.
Bright living room with large windows and sliding doors to west-facing balcony. Open kitchen (to be delivered unfinished).

A total of eleven parking spaces will be created in the communal courtyard. The bicycle sheds (yes, plural) will be located behind this. These are ideal locations for harnessing the sun's energy for electricity. Because, of course, Edgarshof is also focused on a fossil fuel-free future in this respect.

Edgarshof is located in Koog aan de Zaan, east of the railway and the Provincialeweg (the N connection between Alkmaar and Amsterdam) and centrally in Zaanstad. With its own railway station, commuting by public transport is an obvious choice, but cycling is increasingly being used as an alternative. And why not? The Hempont, which connects Zaandam with Amsterdam's Western Port Area, is a 15-minute bike ride away. Less if the pedaling power is electronically assisted. The fast cycle route to Amsterdam-Noord or any other corner of the Zaan region has a comfortable counterpart in the extensive regional transport network.
Motorists can turn onto the A8 within a kilometer and cross the Coentunnel five minutes later. The other direction leads to the A9, towards Haarlem and Schiphol. And vice versa. Back home in Edgarshof in no time!
