New Westzaan is a new small residential neighborhood on the Zuideinde in Westzaan. Fourteen contemporary family homes on the former Spitsterrein. The homes located on the opposite side of the Zuideinde are designed based on farm barns. The future residents share a common courtyard where there is space for parking, playing outside, and meeting. Most of the homes border the backyard with a continuous waterway.

Behind the two detached entrance houses lies a characteristic three-story building. Running across the Zuideinde and with the back gardens connected to a navigable waterway. The pier and the small section of private water area form a rich asset for the whole family. This guarantees all-year-round water fun. Jump on the SUP, in a boat, or – who knows – on skates. Just from your doorstep!

Building number 05 is located on the west corner of the three-story house and benefits from extra plot size. The side garden on the west is subtly covered with a pergola. Perfect for a shade cloth or colorful vegetation. This corner house boasts nearly 186 m² of private land, complemented by a water feature of over 44 m². The generous light from all three sides will appeal to many. This corner house features virtually floor-to-ceiling windows in the side facade and double sliding doors to the backyard by the water. The black facade wood, the white frames, and the red ceramic roof tiles immediately capture the imagination. Recognizable and quirky at the same time!

The house is practically and functionally laid out, with a convenient indoor (bicycle) storage room next to the entrance. On the ground floor, the living room and semi-open kitchen flow into each other. The kitchen is located at the front and is delivered as a shell structure, so you can customize it to your own taste. The kitchen includes a separate laundry room, and additional storage space is located in the living room, with additional storage under the stairs.

On the floor are three bedrooms and a neat bathroom, with standard features such as a sink, walk-in shower, and a second toilet. The bedrooms have skylights, and two of them have double light penetration due to the corner location of the room-high window. A loft ladder on the landing leads to the attic with headroom in the middle of the roof.

The house was built with sustainable materials. Black wooden parts, vertically placed, white window frames and traditional red roof tiles create the look that fits the surroundings. Modern installations such as underfloor heating, mechanical ventilation with heat recovery and solar panels make the house energy efficient and future-proof.

Westzaan is a village within the municipality of Zaanstad. The village consists of a bulbous core with short and long ribbon development towards the south (Zaandam, Amsterdam), the west (Beverwijk, Haarlem and Schiphol) and the north (Wormerveer, the Alkmaardermeer and the further outlying area).
Motorists find multiple ways to get to their destinations quickly because from Westzaan the complete national highway network and even more extensive provincial road network are accessed. A driving radius of fifteen minutes takes you to all the surrounding cities.
The bulbous center of Westzaan has all the daily amenities. Elementary school, child care, family doctor's office, supermarket and fresh food stores, restaurant and other family facilities are all available. Of course, sports play an important role in the lives of youth and adult Westzaners. In this regard, the southern part of Westzaan has its own elementary school, daycare and modern supermarket. Those looking for a wider range of stores, culture and culinary delights will find them in the other centers of the municipality. The bicycle is a popular means of transportation in this area, especially since the rides, wherever they may lead, always take you past beautiful scenery.
