Exclusive Architect Villa in the Limburg Hills with Indoor Swimming Pool

This detached villa is situated on a generous plot of 1,090 square metres in the rolling landscape of the Limburg hills, specifically in the village of Simpelveld. The property was designed and built in the late 1970s according to the vision of architect Starren. A central theme in the design is the sloping nature of the surrounding landscape, which has been incorporated into the architecture. Throughout the interior and exterior spaces, the architect has created framed views of the picturesque scenery.

The villa has a total living area of 282 square metres spread across three levels. The interior layout is varied and playful in its arrangement. The current owner uses the property as a residence with an integrated workspace, with the practical rooms located at entrance level on the ground floor.

Access to the property is via a paved driveway and entrance path. The driveway provides space for parking multiple vehicles. The covered entrance leads to a reception hall. From this hall, there is access to two separate practice rooms that are currently being used as a beauty salon. A technical room houses the various installations for the property.

The indoor garage is accessible from within the building and is equipped with two electrically operated sectional doors. The spacious garage offers room for parking three vehicles according to the description. From the garage, the adjacent technical and storage room can be reached. This space serves as the technical room for the indoor swimming pool.

The fully tiled swimming pool room can be reached via a spiral staircase from the master bedroom above, as well as directly from the indoor garage. The swimming pool measures approximately 45 square metres. In this pool room, there is also a separate toilet and a shower room.

The main living areas are situated one level higher, accessible via the spiral staircase from the reception hall. An open hall with a few steps on the right side provides access to the semi-open kitchen, while on the left side there is access to the living room. Large glass facades on all sides of the building ensure abundant natural light. The combination of the sloping wooden ceiling with the roofline and the maple wood flooring enhances the living experience and creates a harmonious atmosphere.

The kitchen installation is arranged in a corner layout and equipped with various built-in appliances. A staircase from the living room leads to a cosy sitting room one level higher, which features an open gallery above. The living room contains an atmospheric gas fireplace.

The sleeping quarters are connected to both the living room and kitchen via a corridor with windows on both sides. There is a tastefully tiled toilet room. The property contains three bedrooms, some of which are fitted with built-in wardrobes. From the master bedroom, a spiral staircase leads down to the swimming pool at ground floor level.

The luxurious bathroom is finished with high-quality materials and is accessible from the corridor. The bathroom layout includes a walk-in closet first, featuring a custom-built wall cabinet. From there, one enters the main bathroom space. This has been recently renovated and includes a wall-hung toilet, a walk-in shower with a clear glass screen, a freestanding bath, and a bathroom vanity unit with a washbasin spanning the full width alongside a mirror wall. The walls and floor are finished with large, ultra-thin ceramic tiles that have been installed seamlessly. Recessed ceiling lighting with attractive spotlights has been applied. The bathroom is equipped with underfloor heating.

From the various living spaces, there is always a visual connection to the exterior of the villa and a magnificent view of the hill landscape and the architect-designed garden. Around the villa, there are excellently laid out terraces where one can enjoy both sunny and shaded spots. A water feature in an elongated concrete element with a wooden decking platform completes the garden design in an tasteful manner. The fig trees in the garden are a notable feature. The garden is also accessible from the front and side of the property.

The villa has been designed with attention to atmosphere and has been carefully maintained by the owner. The property features 27 solar panels, each with a capacity of 405 Wp, which are owned rather than leased. The window frames are made of aluminium with insulating glass.

The property is heated by a combination of radiators and hot air heating. The main roof was insulated and fitted with new tiles approximately 14 years ago. The flat roofs have been very recently insulated and replaced. The CV boiler is gas-fired and dates from 2013, and is owned by the current owner.

The energy label is rated as C. Insulation is present in the roof and walls. The property also features mechanical and natural ventilation, exterior sun blinds, a sliding patio door, and the aforementioned solar panels and swimming pool.
