Description
The property at Boslaan 65 is situated in Amerongen-Dorp, a village located in the province of Utrecht in the Netherlands. This detached single-family residence occupies a prestigious location directly adjacent to the Amerongse Bos forest, offering residents an unobstructed green view and a high degree of privacy. The asking price is set at 1,595,000 euros, which is subject to buyer costs (kosten koper).
The dwelling has a total living area of 223 square meters spread across multiple levels. The property also includes 40 square meters of additional indoor space, referring to the basement areas not counted as main living space, and 3 square meters of external attached space. The total volume of the building is 827 cubic meters. The plot size measures 665 square meters, providing ample outdoor space for the landscaped garden that surrounds the residence.
The property was originally constructed in 1981 and features a traditional gabled roof covered with clay tiles. Despite its age, the home has been maintained and updated to meet modern standards, as evidenced by its B energy label. The insulation includes double glazing throughout. The heating system consists of a gas-fired combination boiler owned by the current proprietor, supplemented by an open fireplace for additional warmth. Hot water is provided through the same combination boiler and an electric boiler. Fifteen solar panels have been installed on the roof, contributing to reduced energy costs.
Upon approaching the property, visitors are greeted by a driveway with space for three vehicles. An integrated garage provides covered parking for one car and is located at the basement level. A security alarm system has been installed for added safety.
Entry to the main living areas is gained through a side entrance leading into a representative hallway. This reception area features natural daylight and includes a modern guest toilet. The hallway sets the architectural tone for the remainder of the residence.
The primary living space is oriented towards the south and west, maximizing natural light intake through large window sections. The floor is finished with authentic birch wood parquet, adding warmth and character to the space. A robust wood-burning stove serves as a focal point and provides supplementary heating during colder months. Multiple French doors connect the living room directly to the sun terraces in the garden, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces. Four large exterior sun blinds can be operated from inside to manage sunlight and heat gain.
The kitchen is arranged in a practical corner configuration and has been designed to satisfy demanding cooking enthusiasts. It is equipped with high-end built-in appliances from reputable manufacturers. The induction cooktop features integrated extraction using a Bora system, eliminating the need for a traditional overhead extractor hood. Additional appliances include a Miele steam oven, a combination oven, and a dishwasher. From the kitchen, one accesses a utility room containing connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer. This utility space has its own exterior door, which serves as a practical entrance after outdoor activities such as forest walks, keeping muddy footwear separate from the main living areas.
The first floor is reached via an elegant open staircase leading to a central landing. Four bedrooms are located on this level, all benefiting from ample natural light. Two of these bedrooms feature their own washbasins, discreetly integrated into the room design. The bathroom is fully tiled from floor to ceiling and includes a double vanity unit, a shower enclosure, a second floating toilet, and a heated towel rail. The bathroom floor has underfloor heating for added comfort. A window in the bathroom provides both natural ventilation and daylight.
Two separate loft ladders provide access to spacious attic storage areas. These storage spaces allow residents to organize belongings without compromising the usable living space on the main floors.
The basement represents a significant feature of this property, extending its functionality considerably. Unlike a simple cellar, this level functions as a full extension of the living space with its own exterior entrance and natural light penetration. This independent access makes the basement suitable for various professional or personal uses. Possibilities include a home office or practice space that can be kept separate from the private living areas, a private gym, or a self-contained guest suite.
In addition to the office space, the basement contains an impressive multifunctional room that spans the full width of the house. This versatile area could serve as an exclusive hobby room, a professional music studio given its below-ground location which naturally provides sound insulation, or as additional sleeping quarters for guests. The integrated garage is also situated on this level, offering convenience and security for vehicle storage.
The outdoor areas have been professionally landscaped and designed to create a private park-like setting. The garden wraps around the entire property, with multiple sun terraces strategically positioned to capture sunlight at different times of day. The rear garden features a decorative pond that adds to the tranquil atmosphere and borders a quiet park or planted area, further enhancing the connection to the natural surroundings. Privacy is maintained through a high evergreen hedge that forms the boundary fencing.
Several automated systems contribute to the low-maintenance nature of the garden. An underground pipe network feeds a properly adjusted irrigation system using pop-up turbine sprinklers. Garden lighting is installed to illuminate the outdoor spaces during evening hours. A robotic lawn mower handles the grass cutting, reducing the manual effort required to maintain the manicured lawns.
The property is located on a quiet road in a wooded residential area. The direct adjacency to the Amerongse Bos provides immediate access to walking, cycling, and recreational opportunities in nature. Despite its peaceful setting, the property is situated within the built-up area of Amerongen village, meaning basic amenities and services are within reasonable distance. Fiber optic cable has been connected to the property, ensuring high-speed internet access for both residential and potential home-office use.
The listing notes that this is the largest residence on the Boslaan, emphasizing its distinctive character within this desirable location. Properties with direct forest access, combined privacy, and multifunctional basement spaces are relatively uncommon in the Dutch housing market, particularly in sought-after locations like Amerongen.
