LAYOUT
Ground Floor The entry to this charming home is accessible via the front garden. Upon entering, you are welcomed into a hallway that contains the meter cupboard, staircase, and access to the living room. The spacious living room has wooden flooring with underfloor heating and is filled with natural light from large windows and high ceilings. The fireplace serves as a cozy focal point for warming the house during winter months. At the rear of the home, the open kitchen, also with underfloor heating, features a dishwasher, a five-burner gas stove, extractor hood, and a combination oven-microwave. The utility room accommodates the washing machine, dryer, freezer, and central heating boiler, with a separate toilet located between the kitchen and utility room.

The sunny, peaceful rear garden is perfect for enjoying both sun and shade. Here you’ll find a lovely blackberry bush, grapevine, and pear tree. There is rear access, with a small strip at the very back of the garden allowing a right of way for neighbors.

FIRST FLOOR
The staircase leads to a first-floor landing, where an air conditioning unit is installed, with the compressor on the roof. The landing provides access to three bedrooms and a bathroom equipped with an electric skylight, bathtub with shower, toilet, and washbasin cabinet. The spacious master bedroom at the rear has double doors leading to the flat roof above the kitchen and utility room, where some neighbors have created a small terrace or balcony. A large built-in closet completes this bright, comfortable room.

SURROUNDINGS
The home is situated on a charming street lined with similar dike houses. Driemond, although part of the municipality of Amsterdam since 1966 (previously Weesperkarspel), has a distinct village feel and borders Weesp. It boasts a vibrant village center with regular activities and events. Local amenities include a primary school, childcare, a snack bar, a café, sports grounds with a sports hall, football fields, tennis courts, paddle courts, a hairdresser, physiotherapist, and more. The delightful center of Weesp is also nearby, with shopping just a 5-minute bike ride away.

The name Driemond refers to the convergence of the Gaasp, Gein, and Smal Weesp rivers. At the end of the street, you enter the natural beauty along the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal, surrounded by water and nearby the Gaasp, Gein, Amsterdam-Rhine Canal, Smal Weesp, and Gaasperplas. During summer, locals swim in the water between the bridges in Driemond, and in winter, there is ice skating. There is also a popular cycling route along the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal, and scenic walking routes through meadows, community gardens, butterfly gardens, past a windmill, and through the Diemerbos forest. The Gaasperplas recreational area is just a 5-minute bike ride away. From 2025, bus 49, which stops a few hundred meters away, will operate four times an hour between Bijlmer station and Weesp.

All in all, a delightful and cozy home with everything you need close to Amsterdam!
