Description

Living in a former school building of remarkable scale, with exceptional space and marinas within walking distance

This is one of those homes you rarely come across. A place where history, space and light come together the moment you step inside.

Located on Westerstraat, in the heart of Enkhuizen, this impressive part of the former Rijks HBS offers approximately 600 m² of living space, spread across three full floors. With an extraordinary number of rooms and spaces that continue to surprise, this is a home for those who are looking for something beyond the ordinary.

Perfect for a family wanting generous living space, for combining living and working, or for accommodating multiple generations under one roof. The property also offers excellent possibilities for ateliers, exhibitions, workshops or other creative and cultural purposes.

This is a home that truly needs to be experienced in person to fully appreciate it. You are warmly invited for a viewing.

LAYOUT

Ground floor
The impressive sense of scale is immediately noticeable upon entering. The central hall, with a height of approximately 15 metres, forms the heart of the home and creates a first impression that is hard to forget.

To the right are the open-plan kitchen and adjoining sitting room. This living space is defined by light and openness. Large windows, high ceilings and long sightlines create an airy and inviting atmosphere, while the fireplace adds warmth and comfort. From the kitchen, you can step directly onto the sunny terrace.

On the opposite side are several rooms with mezzanine levels, ideal for working from home, an atelier or a practice space.

The property also features a detached garage with an electric overhead door, equipped with a charging station and offering space for both a car and additional storage. Private parking is available on site as well.

First floor
The impressive staircase leads to the first floor, where the openness and sightlines towards the roof ridge immediately stand out, thanks to the fully open central hall. This creates a spacious effect that continues to impress.

The first floor offers four full-sized bedrooms, each with plenty of natural light and its own character. The generously sized master bedroom includes an en suite bathroom and an impressive walk-in wardrobe with a ceiling height of approximately 5 metres. In addition, there is a second bathroom and another walk-in wardrobe, also around 5 metres high, providing exceptional comfort and practical storage space.

Second floor
The top floor provides approximately 190 m² of additional space and is currently arranged as a relaxation area, including a private cinema and lounge.

An additional built-in bedroom has also been created here, making this floor perfectly suitable for guests or older children. This level offers endless possibilities for further customisation to suit your wishes.

Outdoor space
The south-facing rear garden offers peace and privacy, creating a wonderful place to relax in the middle of the city.

HISTORY
The origins of this remarkable property date back to 1870, when the Higher Civic School (Hogere Burgerschool) of Enkhuizen was founded.

Originally located elsewhere in the city, the current building on Westerstraat was constructed around 1902. In 1929, the property was expanded on the right-hand side, giving the building its present size.

Over the years, the building has served various purposes, including use as a police station and later for other public functions. This rich history is still tangible throughout the property, where character and atmosphere blend seamlessly with modern-day living comfort.

SURROUNDINGS AND AMENITIES
Enkhuizen is one of the most beautiful harbour towns on the IJsselmeer and is renowned for its strong connection to the water. For boating enthusiasts, this is an exceptional location.

With several marinas just a few minutes’ walk away, the water is literally around the corner. From here, you can sail directly onto the IJsselmeer towards Friesland, the Wadden Islands or the Randstad.

At the same time, the town offers everything you need. Shops, restaurants, schools and cultural amenities are all close by, in an environment that perfectly balances tranquillity and vibrancy. The train station is within walking distance, and Amsterdam can be reached in approximately 45 minutes.
