Characterful 1927 Villa with Guesthouse in Blaricum's Golden Triangle
Key Features
Upsides
- Prime location in the prestigious Gouden Driehoek of Blaricum, an area known for its exclusivity and proximity to nature reserves like the Blaricummerheide.
- Comprehensive renovation completed in 2016/2017 combining original 1927 architectural character with modern comforts including underfloor heating, air conditioning and a new boiler installed in 2024.
- Spacious plot of nearly 2,000 square meters with a professionally designed garden by Robert Broekema featuring mature trees, a reflecting pond and an automatic irrigation system with private water source.
- Versatile guesthouse or outbuilding of approximately 39 square meters with its own heating, sanitary facilities and pantry, suitable for various uses including accommodation, office or practice space.
- Wellness basement with natural daylight featuring a sauna, steam cabin and shower facilities, plus a wine cellar for storage.
Downsides
- Energy label D indicates limited energy efficiency, which may result in higher utility costs and could require further insulation improvements in the future.
- Only a carport is available for parking rather than an enclosed garage, which may be considered insufficient at this price point and offers less protection from weather and security.
- The asking price of 4,375,000 euros represents a significant investment that limits the potential buyer pool to a narrow segment of the market.
- While renovated in 2016/2017, the original 1927 construction means the property may still harbor maintenance concerns typical of older buildings despite the modernization efforts.

A multifunctional outbuilding on the property features its own central heating system, sanitary facilities and a pantry. This space offers versatility as a guesthouse, home office, practice room, fitness area or hobby space.
