Description
The French painter CLAUDE MONET already recognised its beauty.
In 1871, he painted The BLUE HOUSE at the Hogendijk in Zaandam.
It reportedly became one of his favourite paintings.
This extraordinary Rijks monumental mansion with a blissful garden in the middle of the city has been completely restored and renovated. Fully adapted to today's living comfort, while respecting the authentic details.
The name Hogendijk says it all, on the water.
Here, the Voorzaan brings pleasure boats to the marina. Always the cosiness of swaying boats on the water, just as magical as when this house saw the ships from faraway places dock from 1724.
This striking mansion can be recognised by the authentic blue colour on the wooden facade
Some features; the wooden floors, blue/grey tiles and the old beams. Architraves and richly carved marble fireplaces, wood carvings, ornamental ironwork, lintels and bobbins... A front room, back room and a spacious study on the ground floor.
A fantastic kitchen with pantry and storage room in the basement with access to the delightful sheltered back garden (newly created in 2022) with lounge area facing south-west. No fewer than five bedrooms, a luxurious bathroom with spacious walk-in shower and a spacious bathtub.
