12 Franklin Street

This corner house with NEW FOUNDATION, built in the 1930s, has a beautiful appearance. Behind the beautiful facade lies a charming house with four bedrooms, a spacious bathroom, and a living room with a gas fireplace. Panel doors have been preserved, as have colorful stained glass windows, and sliding doors to the garden have been installed in the living room. Very nice, there is a private back entrance and a gate to the alley. This means that bicycles can be stored in the shed and do not have to be left in the front garden!

What a beautiful place this is! Franklinkstraat has character, the train station is around the corner, and you live a few minutes' walk from the Zaanbocht. Here you will find nice restaurants and cafes, from a coffee shop to a Greek restaurant. There is a primary school in the neighborhood and the supermarket, in the center, is about a 10-minute walk away.

Layout:
Ground floor:
The covered entrance is beautiful, with a Zaan green front door and colorful stained glass windows. Behind this door is the spacious hall, with the staircase and a wooden floor with underfloor heating. Light colors make the hall very spacious and there is a handy storage cupboard under the stairs. Next to this cupboard is the toilet, with colorful wall tiles and a washbasin.
With a length of approximately 7.50 meters, this house has a good-sized living room. The sitting area is at the front, the gas fireplace is in the middle and the dining area is near the sliding doors to the garden. The wooden floor, the fireplace, and the ceiling with subtle moldings and recessed lighting create a cozy atmosphere.

A passageway has been created from the living room to the kitchen, optimally connecting both spaces. Your eye is drawn to the approximately 3-meter-long wall unit, the narrow cabinet next to the fridge/freezer, and the half-height kitchen unit on the other side. The countertop in the cooking and washing-up area is made of granite, and the hob, extractor hood, oven, and dishwasher are built-in.

First floor:
The atmosphere on the landing is determined by the panel doors, full of character and with the original door handles. These doors give access to three bedrooms and the bathroom. There are two bedrooms at the front and the third, which is also the largest bedroom, is at the rear.

The bathroom, with two large windows in the front facade, is equipped with a bathtub, separate shower, toilet, and washbasin with mirror cabinet. The floor tiles are stylish black and the rest of the bathroom is white, which enhances the feeling of space. There is underfloor heating under the floor tiles in the bathroom.

Second floor:
A fixed staircase provides access to the second floor, with a large dormer window at the rear. The laundry equipment is located on the landing, near the high-efficiency boiler, and the fourth bedroom has practical storage space in the sloping roof. The panel door has also been retained on this floor, as has a colorful stained-glass window.

Garden:
The west-facing garden is accessible from the living room and kitchen. There is a beautiful fence with dark concrete posts and the wooden shed is the perfect place for bicycles, garden tools, a workbench, and the barbecue. There is not only a gate to the alley, but also a private back entrance on the right side of the house. This leads to the front garden, with a low fence on the street side.

Parking:
There is free public parking on Franklinstraat.
