Lock Path 45

Come and enjoy this charming, very well-maintained house on Sluispad (footpath), with a garden by the water. Not just any water, but navigable water, where you can moor a boat right in front of your front garden! There is also much to admire inside: a cozy living room with a beamed ceiling, a bright kitchen, two large bedrooms and one small bedroom on the first floor, and a neat shower room. Storage space is available under the stairs, next to the shower, in the attic, and in the spacious shed in the backyard.

The Sluispad in Wormerveer was previously called the Boksepad, 'the Bok's path' in the local Zaan dialect. This path, like the ditch, was used to reach the 'De Bok' windmill. After the mill disappeared, the street name was changed to Sluispad, beautifully situated on the Noordersluissloot, with the lock to the Zaan at the end. You can explore the beautiful surroundings by boat, canoe, or SUP. In two minutes, you can be in the beautiful Guisveld nature reserve and sail endlessly through several interconnected nature reserves and/or through the lock onto the Zaan, the Noorzeekanaal (towards Amsterdam or the sea) or the Nauernasservaart (towards Alkmaar).
The Marktplein with several supermarkets and shops is within walking distance, as are the train station, schools, churches, cafes, restaurants, (sports) clubs, the doctor, and dentist. You can reach Zaandam and Amsterdam in no time by train! Major roads such as the N203, N8, and N246 are a few minutes' drive away. The A8 motorway, towards the A7 and the A10 ring road, is just over a 10-minute drive away.

Layout:
Ground floor:
You can recognize this house by its dark green front door, two large windows, renovated traditional brickwork, and pergola in the front garden (overtuin). Behind the front door is the hall with the meter cupboard and the stairs to the first floor. Under the stairs is a storage room and to the left
of that is the toilet, with a wall-mounted toilet and neat tiling. The living/dining room is a super cozy living space, with the sitting area at the front and the dining area at the rear. Through the large windows, you can see the water between the plants on the windowsill.
Right next to the dining area is the kitchen, which has a light corner unit. Most of the appliances are freestanding, and above the built-in gas hob is the Remeha Tzerra Ace HR boiler (2018), which provides heating and hot water.

First floor:
The beautiful staircase leads to the first floor where you will find three bedrooms, the renovated shower room, which is very light thanks to the window, with a storage room next to it. Two of the rooms are suitable for a double bed, while the third bedroom can be used as a study or nursery. The bedroom at the rear provides access to the attic.

Shed:
There is plenty of storage space not only in the attic but also in the shed. The shed has electricity, water, and gas, two windows, and a door to the alley. A practical route to go out on your bike or through the alley to your parked car on Essenstraat!

Garden:
The backyard has a plant border and is otherwise paved, which offers the possibility to further green it according to your own ideas. You can remove tiles or, as is currently the case, opt for plants in containers and pots. Like the storage shed, the garden has a lockable gate to the
alley. Then there is the front garden, right on the waterway. The south-facing location is perfect for sun lovers, and here you will find beautiful plants in two borders, partly with flowers. You can moor a boat, or even a large motorboat or sloop. Enjoy yourself on or from the water!
