Characterful Semi-Detached Villa with Deep Sunny Garden in Heemstede

This semi-detached villa is situated at Frederik van Eedenplein in the municipality of Heemstede. The property was originally built in 1933 and has been updated over the years to combine its original character with modern living comfort. The total living area measures approximately 134 square meters, while the plot covers 289 square meters. The building has a volume of around 517 cubic meters.

The ground floor welcomes you through a well-maintained front garden and a wide driveway leading to the entrance. The front door opens into a spacious hall that features a meter cabinet with 18 circuit groups, a closet under the stairs, and a modern floating toilet with a small sink. A stylish glass and steel door provides access to the living area.

The living room is notably wide and filled with natural light. At the front of the house, the dining area benefits from a characteristic bay window and stained glass windows that add charm and period detail. The sitting area at the rear of the property includes a fireplace and glass doors that open directly onto the garden. The generous width of the room and the large window sections create an airy and open feeling throughout the space. A wooden parquet floor adds warmth and character to the interior.

The modern kitchen is designed as the heart of the home and can be accessed directly from the garden, which is particularly convenient during the warmer months. The kitchen is equipped with a five-burner gas stove, a double oven, a Quooker instant boiling water tap, a refrigerator, a freezer, a dishwasher, and a one-and-a-half sink. The layout provides ample workspace and cabinet storage for those who enjoy cooking.

The rear garden is oriented to the south and extends approximately 14 meters in depth. This orientation ensures that the garden receives sunlight throughout the day. The first section of the garden is arranged as a veranda, allowing for comfortable outdoor seating during the spring and autumn months as well. A practical side entrance from the driveway provides additional access to the garden.

The stone garage is notably deep and can accommodate two vehicles while still leaving room for storage. Windows allow natural light to enter the space, and the garage is equipped with a roller door, electrical connections, and heating. This makes the garage suitable not only for parking but also as a workshop or additional storage area.

The first floor is reached via a fixed staircase and features a landing that provides access to all rooms on this level. At the rear of the property, there is a room that is currently used as a closet room but could easily serve as a home office or an additional bedroom. Adjacent to this room is the master bedroom, which is generously proportioned and includes air conditioning as well as doors that open onto a south-facing balcony. This arrangement allows for a pleasant start to the day with morning sun. At the front of the first floor, there is another spacious bedroom that features a charming bay window consistent with the character of the property.

The first-floor bathroom has been finished in a modern style and includes a walk-in shower, a double vanity unit, and a toilet. The fixtures and finishes reflect contemporary design preferences while maintaining functionality.

The second floor is accessed via a fixed staircase and offers an open space that can be configured according to the needs of the occupants. This area lends itself well to use as a home office, a playroom for children, or a hobby space. In addition to this open area, there is a separate bedroom on this level.

A second bathroom is located on the second floor and includes a walk-in shower and a single vanity. The laundry facilities, including connections for a washing machine and a dryer, are also situated on this floor. The Intergas Extreme combination boiler, which was installed in 2023, is located here as well. Additional storage space is available behind the knee walls.

The property has been designated an energy label C. Insulation measures include roof insulation, double glazing throughout, and floor insulation. Some of the double-glazed windows retain the original stained glass details, preserving the character of the 1933 building while improving energy efficiency.

The location of the property is described as quiet and residential, situated in a popular area of Heemstede. Despite the peaceful setting, daily amenities including shops, schools, sports clubs, and public transportation are all within a short distance. The property also benefits from good accessibility to major roads leading to Haarlem, Amsterdam, Schiphol Airport, and The Hague. For those who enjoy nature, the dunes and the beach are within easy cycling distance.

The property is offered at an asking price of 1,175,000 euros, with the buyer responsible for the transfer costs (kosten koper). This translates to approximately 8,769 euros per square meter of living space. The property is available for transfer by mutual agreement regarding the timing.

The cadastral designation is HEEMSTEDE B 6136, with full ownership (volle eigendom). The property is connected to both fiber optic and television cables. Parking is available on the property itself via the driveway and garage, while public parking is also available in the area.

In summary, this semi-detached villa offers a combination of period character elements such as stained glass windows, a bay window, and a fireplace, together with modern updates including a contemporary kitchen, two updated bathrooms, air conditioning in the master bedroom, and a recent heating system. The south-facing garden, the deep garage, and the practical layout across three floors make this a family home with flexibility and comfort in a desirable residential location in Heemstede.
