Mooy Westzaan 8 approx.

Construction number 08, terraced house
GFA approx. 116 m2, plot size approx. 160 m2 freehold land
Parking on shared property, south-facing backyard

The Mooy Westzaan project looks like a classic farmyard. The cross path consists of private and shared property and is therefore reserved for residents. This is where they park their cars and where the children play outside. A small neighborhood where everyone has sufficient privacy in their own backyard and can connect with the other residents. Living and growing up with connection and freedom.

Further along the cross path is a second block of four family homes. Almost identical to the first block, each has a separate storage room and plenty of parking on the shared grounds. The corner houses also have a parking space on their own property. The building, constructed from natural materials, also has the appearance of a barn placed across the road, but in a different color scheme.
Here too, there are three floors, with a space on the second floor that can be used as desired. This is where the technical annex and facilities room will be located, accessible via a fixed staircase. On the first floor are three bedrooms, plus a spacious bathroom. Like the bedroom on the side of the path, this bathroom has a skylight. The bedroom on the garden side enjoys views of the landscape thanks to the extra-high facade with extra-high tilt and turn windows.
Downstairs, almost the entire ground floor is used for living. The shell kitchen has a view of the front garden and is open to the living room at the back of the house. Here, double doors lead to the waterfront.
The homes are energy efficient thanks to the use of modern installations such as heat pumps, heat recovery systems (HRV), and solar panels. The floors of the ground floor and first floor are the heat source, which can of course be regulated for the different rooms.

A characteristic feature of this house is the use of natural materials. Robust, specially grown hardwood, brick, zinc for rainwater drainage and gutters, and roof tiles for a robust look. With this, Mooy Westzaan further embellishes the village's image of sustainability and history. Because sustainability is not only about energy efficiency, it also means that these homes are at the beginning of a long residential history.

Westzaan is a village within the municipality of Zaanstad. The village consists of a central core with short and long ribbon developments to the south (Zaandam, Amsterdam), west (Beverwijk, Haarlem, and Schiphol), and north (Wormerveer, the Alkmaardermeer, and the wider countryside).

Motorists have several options for reaching their destination quickly, as Westzaan provides access to the entire national highway network and an even more extensive provincial road network. A 15-minute drive will take you to all the surrounding cities.

All daily amenities can be found in the center of Westzaan. Primary school, childcare, GP practice, supermarket and fresh produce shops, restaurant, and other family amenities are all available. Of course, sports play an important role in the lives of young and adult Westzaners. The southern part of Westzaan has its own primary school, childcare, and modern supermarket. Those looking for a wider range of shopping, cultural, or culinary options will find what they are looking for in one of the other centers of the municipality. The bicycle is a popular means of transportation in this area, especially because the rides, wherever they lead, always pass through beautiful scenery.
