Description
Unique Industrial Loft on the Canal Stylish, Bright, and Fully Renovated
In a former factory building on the popular Zaagmolenstraat, we present this unique loft of approximately 97 m². A characterful home with an industrial feel, high ceilings, and impressive natural light. Located on the Kostverlorenvaart canal with water views, and on freehold land so no leasehold.
The entire complex was converted into modern apartments in 1998. Over the years, the building served various purposes, including as artist studios. This particular apartment was fully renovated in 2016 with great attention to detail. Features include black steel interior doors and glass partitions, a modern open kitchen, a luxurious bathroom, and an elegant light sand-toned poured floor with underfloor heating.
Layout:
The apartment has a compact entrance with a separate toilet to the left and a niche for coats and storage on the right. You then enter the spacious and bright living area. The warm, modern atmosphere is immediately apparent thanks to the high ceilings, seamless flooring, and clean finishes.
The custom-designed kitchen is the heart of the home and features a 5-burner gas stove, extractor hood, built-in fridge, separate freezer, and subtle lighting integrated into the bespoke upper cabinets. The kitchen is partially constructed with Ikea internal drawers, but finished with high-end Noremax fronts (2022) and custom-made wall cupboards, creating a refined and stylish look.
At the front of the home, the living area opens through double French doors onto a small balcony with a beautiful view over the Kostverlorenvaart canal – perfect for enjoying the afternoon and evening sun thanks to its western orientation.
At the rear are two bedrooms. The spacious primary bedroom includes a custom-built wardrobe and direct access to the luxurious bathroom, offering an en suite feel. The second bedroom can flexibly serve as a home office, guest room, or nursery.
The bathroom is a serene retreat, featuring a freestanding bathtub, double sink with custom vanity, a spacious walk-in rain shower, natural ventilation, and a second entrance from the main living area ideal for guests.
Storage
The apartment also includes a private storage unit of approx. 7 m² within the building, perfect for storing luggage or seasonal items.
