***Living by the water. Surrounded by space: Zwaagdijk 347, Zwaagdijk-West.***

There are homes you describe. And there are homes you feel the moment you drive up the driveway.

Zwaagdijk 347 is one such home. A detached house with character, a spacious garden bordering the water, and an atmosphere you won't find anywhere else. This isn't just a house to live in; this is a house to live from.

The location – tranquility without isolation
Zwaagdijk-West is one of those places in West Friesland that you don't expect until you get there. Green, open, quiet, and with the rural landscapes of North Holland as a backdrop. From the bedroom window, you look out over bulb fields. From the garden, you look out over the water, surrounded by reeds, birds, and the endless Dutch sky. And yet, here you are never far from everything.

You can reach Hoorn in less than ten minutes by car. Amsterdam is about 45 minutes away via the A7—close enough for a workday, yet far enough to completely let go as soon as you get home. Alkmaar, Enkhuizen, and Medemblik are all reachable within 20 minutes. For international professionals working in the region at companies like Action, Agrifirm, or one of the other multinationals in West Friesland, this is a home base unlike any other. You don't live *next* to work. You live where others go on vacation.

The Home – Character and Warmth
The detached house dates back to 1960 and has managed to preserve the best features of its time over the years. High ceilings, wooden details, and authentic elements, combined with a modern and atmospheric interior, make the home ready for today. The plot of no less than 575 m² surrounds the house on multiple sides. A private bridge over the water, a green front garden, a spacious back garden with a terrace, a conservatory, and a greenhouse—here, being outdoors is a way of life, not just an activity. The Living Room – an atmosphere that touches you
The living room is the beating heart of the home. Wide wooden floorboards, an elegant beamed ceiling, and a characteristic fireplace with a white brick mantelpiece give the space a warmth you feel immediately. This is where you want to sit in the evening with friends, with a book, or simply with the feeling that you are in the right place.

The living room flows seamlessly into the dining room, a space with a large dining table, atmospheric lighting, and a view of the garden. Ideal for long dinners with family or visiting colleagues.

The Kitchen – Everything You Need
The sleek, light kitchen features a dark granite countertop, a combination that is both timeless and practical. All necessary appliances are present, including an oven and extractor hood. The kitchen adjoins the dining room directly and overlooks the garden.

The Bedrooms – Room for Everyone
The home offers multiple bedrooms spread over two floors. On the ground floor, there is a spacious master bedroom with a large built-in wardrobe and a view of the surrounding nature. On the upper floor, with its distinctive wooden roof boarding, you will find another bedroom, ideal as a guest room, workspace, or nursery.

The home features two full-sized bathrooms. The upstairs bathroom, with its skylight, wooden ceiling, and bathtub under the sloping roof, has an atmosphere reminiscent of a Scandinavian holiday home. Quiet, bright, and fully functional.

The garden – your own piece of the Netherlands
Few homes in the region offer the outdoor space that Zwaagdijk 347 provides. The garden surrounding the home is professionally landscaped and includes a lawn, borders, a terrace at the rear, a conservatory, and a full-sized greenhouse, perfect for those who enjoy gardening, growing plants, or simply love greenery.

But the most special feature is the view. At the front, you look out over the ditch and the meadows towards the bulb fields. At the rear, the garden is screened and private. The private wooden bridge over the water connects the home to the driveway, a detail that immediately makes it clear that this is no ordinary home. Key Features
