For rent: Flat Krententuin 10 in Hoorn

Description

Living in a monument: Oostereiland, Krententuin 10, Hoorn.
ATTENTION!! The property is temporarily rented out until 31-12-2026

There are apartments. There are special apartments. And then there is this.
A former prison building on the Oostereiland; Hoorn's culture island, directly on the Markermeer, which has been transformed into a living space that is unparalleled in North Holland. History, architecture, and contemporary living comfort come together here in a way you won't expect and won't forget.
This is not a home to live in. This is a home to talk about.

The Oostereiland - a place with a soul
The Oostereiland is Hoorn at its most special. An island in the historic inner harbor, surrounded by water, connected to the city by a bridge, yet a world apart. Here, monumental buildings stand next to modern art institutions, and on one side you look out over the Markermeer, while on the other side you see the historic rooftops of Hoorn's city center.

The Krententuin is located in the heart of this island. Within walking distance, you'll find Hoorn's coziest terraces and restaurants, the weekly market on the Roode Steen, and all the daily amenities of the city center. Hoorn train station is within cycling distance and connects you directly to Amsterdam, approximately 45 minutes away, and the rest of the Netherlands.

For international professionals working in West Friesland, at companies like Action, Agrifirm, or other multinationals in the region, this is a memorable home base. You'll live in a place that will impress your guests upon arrival and that you'll happily return to every day.

The living room - height, light, and life
The living room of this apartment has a ceiling height you won't find in any new-build apartment. Huge windows with black steel frames let daylight stream in from early morning until the last rays of the sun.
Original brick walls, high black steel windows, industrial black metal pendant lamps. A solid wooden dining table for eight people fits in naturally. The lounge sofa invites you to relax. The open kitchen connects seamlessly.

The kitchen - sleek, dark, and complete
The open kitchen is finished in high-gloss black with a black marble countertop. All necessary appliances are present. The kitchen is directly adjacent to the dining room, and cooking here means always being part of the conversation at the table.

The bedroom & loft - a design in itself
Via a floating wooden staircase, you reach the loft where the bedroom overlooks everything. The bed rests on a platform of rough tree trunks measuring 2 by 2 meters. There is still enough space to move comfortably and get into bed.

The walk-in closet - a dressing room as a statement
Behind a sliding door of steel and glass, in a wall of original brickwork, lies the walk-in closet. A space with solid wooden storage from floor to ceiling, an industrial library ladder to reach the highest shelves, and a pendant lamp like a sculpture on the ceiling.

The bathroom - craftsmanship and detail
The bathroom is finished with the care of a design studio. White metro tiles in a herringbone pattern, an antique wooden vanity with a porcelain countertop basin, black faucets, a cast-iron radiator, and gold wall lamps on either side of a black-framed mirror. The walk-in shower is enclosed by a steel frame with ribbed glass. Every detail and material has been consciously chosen. This is not just a functional space; it's a place to take your time after a long day at work.

The balcony - your place above the city
The apartment has its own balcony overlooking the courtyard of the historic complex, surrounded by the brick facades of the former prison. A place for your morning coffee, the afternoon sun, or an evening drink as the city quiets down around you.
