Upsides

- Family-friendly neighborhood with playground, jeu de boules court, and football pitch directly accessible from the street.
Downsides
- Energy label C indicates moderate energy efficiency despite recent insulation work, which may result in higher utility costs compared to A or B rated properties.
- Only one bathroom for four bedrooms, which may create morning congestion for larger families.
- Parking is available only through permits, which can involve waiting lists and additional costs.
- Exterior painting is scheduled for 2026, meaning future maintenance costs will be required within a few years of purchase.
- Garden orientation discrepancy in the listing, with the description stating west-facing while features indicate north-facing, creating uncertainty about sunlight exposure.
Description
The property is a characteristic 1930s corner house located on the Eemnesserweg, offering a renovated and well-maintained living space. This family home has been thoroughly insulated and updated while preserving its original period details. The house is fully underbuilt with a substantial basement that adds significant functional space to the property.
The ground floor features an entrance with a vestibule that includes wardrobe space. From the hall, there is access to the stairs, the basement, and a spacious toilet room with a washbasin. The living room has been extended at the rear and benefits from a bay window and side windows that provide excellent natural light throughout the day. A gas fireplace creates a warm connection between the living and dining areas. The semi-open kitchen is equipped with built-in appliances. This floor has wooden floorboards, air conditioning, floor insulation, and double and partially triple glazing.
The basement covers 53 square meters and includes underfloor heating, a kitchen area, three skylights that bring in substantial daylight, and a separate storage area. This versatile space could serve as additional bedrooms, a home gym with wellness facilities, a home office, or a recreational area for children.
The first floor has three bedrooms. The largest bedroom at the rear has been extended and features built-in wardrobes, air conditioning, and windows on two sides. The second bedroom is also at the rear, while the third spacious bedroom at the front has windows on two sides as well. The modern bathroom includes a deep walk-in shower, double vanity, and toilet, finished with a granito floor and vanity.
The second floor has a repositioned staircase that creates a more practical layout. There is a landing with a dormer window and workspace area, a bedroom with a side dormer, built-in cupboards, and storage behind the knee walls. From this bedroom, the attic storage is accessible. This floor also houses a separate room containing the CV installation (Remeha, 2023) and connections for a washer-dryer.
The outdoor space includes front, rear, and side gardens. There is a stone outbuilding with a pitched roof, windows, and a loft. The garden offers space for multiple terraces, allowing residents to find a sunny spot throughout the day.
The property benefits from a free view over a green area at the front and views of a playground and football pitch on the side. Schools, the train station, shops, and major highways (A1 and A27) are all close by. The heathland is within walking distance, and the center of Hilversum is just a few minutes by bicycle.
Technical specifications include an energy label C, with full double glazing, wall insulation, floor insulation, and roof insulation. The CV boiler is a gas-fired combination boiler from Remeha, installed in 2023 and owned by the property. Additional features include an alarm system, mechanical ventilation, a smoke flue, and TV cable connections.
The exterior painting is scheduled for 2026. Parking is available through permits. The property has a cadastral designation of HILVERSUM C 2936 with full ownership status.
The 1930s architectural style is evident throughout the property, with characteristic details that have been preserved during the renovation process. These period features add character and charm that distinguishes this home from newer constructions while still providing all the modern conveniences expected in contemporary living.
The location on the Eemnesserweg is described as being at an attractive point of the street. The wide sidewalk and large green area in front contribute to a pleasant streetscape and create a welcoming approach to the property. For families with children, the immediate surroundings include a playground, a jeu de boules court, and an artificial turf football pitch at the end of the street, providing recreational opportunities close to home.
The insulation measures implemented throughout the property address multiple aspects of energy efficiency. Wall insulation reduces heat loss through the exterior walls, while floor insulation prevents heat from escaping through the ground floor. Roof insulation helps maintain comfortable temperatures on the upper floors. The combination of double and triple glazing in the windows further contributes to the thermal performance of the building envelope.
The air conditioning system on the ground floor and in the master bedroom provides additional climate control options, ensuring comfort during warmer months. The mechanical ventilation system helps maintain good air quality throughout the home.
The basement represents a significant asset to the property. At 53 square meters, it offers substantial space that can be adapted to various purposes. The presence of underfloor heating makes it a comfortable living space regardless of the season, while the three skylights ensure it does not feel dark or underground. The kitchen area in the basement adds to its versatility, potentially allowing it to function as a separate living unit for guests, older children, or as a rental opportunity.
The outdoor storage building is a stone construction with a pitched roof, which is more substantial than typical garden sheds. The inclusion of windows and a loft space makes it suitable for use as a workshop, hobby room, or additional storage for garden equipment, bicycles, and seasonal items.
The property's position as a corner house provides advantages in terms of natural light, with windows possible on two sides of several rooms. This architectural benefit is particularly evident in the bedrooms on the first floor, where the corner position allows for windows on multiple walls.
The proximity to the heathland offers residents easy access to nature for walking, cycling, and outdoor recreation. At the same time, the connection to Hilversum center and the train station provides urban conveniences and good public transport links for commuting to other cities.
With four bedrooms, this home is well-suited for families. The distribution of bedrooms across two upper floors allows for flexibility in how the space is used, whether for children, guests, or home office purposes. The second floor with its dormer windows and built-in storage could particularly appeal to older children or teenagers seeking their own space within the family home.
