Brouwerskade 57

Unique and Charming Corner House with Garage (Total 157m2) by the Water. Peaceful yet Central Location, Walking Distance to the Grote Markt and Close to the Dunes!

This is what people call ‘a home with a soul’. Owned by the same family for nearly 60 years and renowned in the area as the family home of a famous sculptor and artist, this house is filled with history, charm, and character.

The layout is far from standard, giving the house its unique character. The property is south-facing in its full width, ensuring an abundance of natural light. From the side entrance via the vestibule, you can access a spacious living room at the rear with views of the green garden and water, as well as a second living room at the front, overlooking the Brouwersvaart canal. The front room is also perfect as a study or home office. The large living room is beautifully bright due to its two sliding doors. Adjacent to the living room, you’ll find a spacious kitchen and a sunny garden room, both with underfloor heating.

The sheltered, green, and sunny garden can be accessed from the living room, garden room, and kitchen. Here, you can enjoy peace, quiet, and privacy all day, well into the evening.

A staircase leads to the first floor, where there are three bedrooms, a separate toilet, and a generously sized bathroom. The spacious bedrooms at both the front and back have built-in wardrobes. There’s also the potential to create more living space by adding a storey (subject to permit). Additionally, there’s the possibility of building a fantastic balcony/roof terrace (also subject to permit). By 4 p.m., you can enjoy the sun with a view of the canal, perfect for Friday evening drinks!

The spacious attached garage, which can serve various purposes, completes the picture. Currently used for one car, it also has space for a charging point, bicycles, and a cargo bike, ideal for families. The garage could also be transformed into a hobby room, studio, or even an extension of the living space (subject to planning permission). It has access from both outside and inside and is equipped with water, heating, electricity, and radio/TV connections.

After nearly 60 years of love and care, it’s now time for the next lucky owner to make this their home with just as much pleasure and affection.
