2 Small Church Street

Live and work in a restored monumental building in a unique location in the center of Edam's old town. This characteristic building, located on Kleine Kerkstraat in the charming old town of Edam, offers that opportunity.

Edam is a picturesque town on the IJsselmeer, just a 20-minute drive from Amsterdam. The town offers an excellent mix of facilities, such as schools, shops, cozy restaurants and cafés, and recreational opportunities on the water. Thanks to its historic charm, diverse community, and many cultural and social events, Edam is a fantastic place to live and work.

This unique property exudes the atmosphere of historic Edam. As early as the 17th century, the famous Edam mapmaker Sijmon Willemsz Boonacker lived and worked at this location, on the corner of Kleine Kerkstraat and Prinsenstraat. The facade still features 17th-century facade stones with images of three surveyors, equipped with a globe, compass, and angle measuring instrument.

At the time, this building housed the North Holland or Edam school for maritime cartography. In the 17th century, Edam was an important center for mapmakers, and their names can still be found in the city's street names. Later, the building was converted into a shop, a function it has retained to this day. The retail space is currently used as a cookery shop. Previously, the space served as an antique shop, a souvenir shop, and originally as a tobacco shop.

The building consists of a representative retail space on the ground floor (Kleine Kerkstraat 2) and an attractive upstairs apartment (Kleine Kerkstraat 2a), with excellent rental potential. The upstairs apartment has its own entrance at the rear of the building.
