This furnished room is part of a charming house built in 1931 in the lovely village of Koog aan de Zaan. The house has exposed beams and stained glass windows, giving it a unique character. The room is 7 m² and is furnished with a single bed and an antique closet. It has a window with a lovely view of the local church and the garden. The house is largely insulated with double-glazed windows and has gas central heating and a log burner.
The house is shared with the owner, Simon, and one other male housemate. The shared living spaces include a large living room (21 m²), a dining room (18 m²), a kitchen, and a toilet on the ground floor. Upstairs, there is a bathroom with a shower and toilet. The house also has a root cellar and a large enclosed garden with a very old pear tree and a garage for bike storage. The nearest supermarket is about 200 m away, and the center of Koog aan de Zaan is around the corner with various shops and restaurants.
