Sustainable 1940s Corner House with Large Sunny Garden in Hilversum

This property is a charming corner house located in the Liebergen neighborhood of Hilversum, built in 1940 and subsequently extended and modernised to meet contemporary living standards. The house achieves an Energy Label A rating, reflecting the substantial investments made in insulation and renewable energy generation. The total living area measures 100 square metres, situated on a plot of 234 square metres with a volume of 350 cubic metres. The property is offered at 625,000 euros, costs to be paid by the buyer.

The ground floor layout begins with an entrance hall that provides access to a guest toilet and a basement for additional storage. The main living space has been extended at the rear, creating a generous and bright living and dining area. This extended section features French doors that open directly to the back garden, along with a side window that brings in additional natural light. The entire width of the extension is covered by an electric folding-arm awning, allowing residents to control sunlight as needed. The living room floor is finished with solid oak wood, adding warmth and character to the space.

The kitchen is positioned at the front of the house in an open-plan arrangement. It is fitted with a plastic tilt-and-turn window equipped with a fly screen. The kitchen appliances include a dishwasher, a five-burner gas hob with a double oven, and an extractor hood. The meter cupboard was completely updated in 2020 and includes preparation for an induction hob, offering flexibility for future kitchen upgrades.

The first floor is accessed via a bright landing with a side window. Here you will find a modern bathroom that features underfloor heating, a walk-in shower, a wall-hung toilet, and a washbasin unit. There are two bedrooms on this level. The front bedroom could potentially be enlarged by incorporating the adjacent walk-in wardrobe that is currently accessible from the landing. The rear bedroom is described as spacious and bright. All windows on this floor have PVC frames with a wood-effect finish, tilt-and-turn functionality, insect screens, and electric sun blinds.

The second floor is reached via a fixed staircase. The landing on this level has a Velux skylight and houses the central heating boiler, washing machine connections, and a washbasin unit. The third bedroom on this floor is spacious and benefits from dormer windows at both the front and rear, bringing in considerable natural light. Built-in knee walls provide useful storage space. The dormer windows are PVC with tilt-and-turn function, insect screens, and electric sun blinds. Additionally, this floor has integrated electric roller shutters for privacy and light control.

The outdoor spaces are a notable feature of this property. The back garden measures 88 square metres, with dimensions of 11 metres in depth and 8 metres in width. According to the Dutch description, the garden faces west, benefiting from afternoon and evening sun. The English version mentions a south-facing orientation, though this discrepancy may be due to translation. The garden includes a substantial brick shed with an electric garage door and wood cladding on the exterior. The current owner notes that this structure could potentially be converted into a workspace. At the side of the property, there is a canopy that provides covered space for a trailer, bicycles, or a small car. Parking is available on the property itself.

The property has undergone numerous improvements in recent years. Seven solar panels were installed in 2023 with a total capacity of 2835 watts peak. The roof was renovated in 2022, including new roof tiles and an insulation membrane. The toilet was renovated in 2024. The attic was converted and two dormer windows were installed in 2018. A Remeha Avanta 28c HR combination boiler was installed in 2019. Floor insulation using granules and cavity wall insulation were added in 2017. The rear extension was completed in 2012. The property has HR++ glazing throughout, with the exception of the rear facade and ground floor side windows which have standard double glazing.

The location in Hilversum offers a quiet, child-friendly residential environment. The property is situated on a road with only local traffic. The Anna's Hoeve nature reserve and recreational area are approximately a five-minute walk away, as is the Laarder Waschmeer nature area. The Seinhorst shopping centre can be reached by bicycle in about five minutes. Several primary schools are located nearby, and the International Primary School is also within a five-minute cycling distance. The property benefits from privacy due to the mature trees surrounding the house.

Storage options are plentiful throughout the property. In addition to the basement and the walk-in wardrobe on the first floor, there is the large garage-sized shed in the garden and the side canopy. These spaces provide ample room for belongings, outdoor equipment, and potentially a home workshop.

The property is offered with acceptance dates to be negotiated. The asking price per square metre is 6,250 euros based on the 100 square metre living area. The property is classified as an existing corner house with full ownership of the land. The cadastral reference is HILVERSUM C 4472.
