Characterful 1930s Family Home with Original Details in Sought-After Bussum Neighbourhood
Key Features
Description
This characterful family home dating from the 1930s is situated on H. Zwaardemakerstraat in the town of Bussum. The property is a spacious terraced house offering 134 square metres of living space, set on a plot measuring 226 square metres. The home retains many of its original period features and has a total volume of 520 cubic metres. With four bedrooms, a modern bathroom installed in 2019, and a deep sunny garden to the rear, this residence combines authentic charm with contemporary comfort.
The house is located in a quiet, tree-lined street in a highly regarded and child-friendly 1930s residential neighbourhood. Schools, shops, and the Bussummerheide nature area are all within walking distance. Two railway stations can be reached by bicycle in approximately eight minutes, making this an excellent base for commuters. The deep green front garden provides a sense of privacy from the living room and offers an unobstructed view of the street. To the rear of the property there is a substantial brick garage, accessible via a wide rear alley. This area also provides a safe space for children to play outdoors.
Upon entering the home, the hallway immediately impresses with its beautiful original wall tiles. A toilet with a small washbasin is located off the hall. The modern kitchen is fitted with a range of built-in appliances and offers a practical and stylish space for preparing meals. A cellar with standing headroom provides additional storage space beneath the ground floor.
The living and dining area is particularly atmospheric, benefiting from a wooden floor, original fireplaces, a handsome bay window at the front, and authentic en-suite doors connecting the two rooms. Natural light floods through the windows, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere throughout the day. From the dining room, doors open directly onto the deep rear garden, which faces southeast and enjoys sunshine for much of the day. At the far end of the garden stands the fully sized garage, which can be accessed from the rear of the plot.
On the first floor, the landing provides access to three bedrooms. The largest bedroom is situated at the front of the house and includes a balcony. A second generously sized bedroom is located at the rear, while a third, somewhat smaller bedroom completes this level. The modern bathroom, renovated in 2019, is equipped with a toilet, a walk-in shower, a freestanding bath, and a vanity unit with washbasin.
The second floor is reached via a fixed staircase and offers a spacious and bright attic room with two dormer windows. This area is currently used as a studio and photography workspace, which demonstrates the excellent quality of natural light available here. This versatile space would serve equally well as a fourth bedroom, home office, or hobby room. Connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer are also located on this floor. A fixed staircase leads from the attic to a mezzanine level and a storage area with standing headroom.
The property benefits from HR and HR++ double glazing, contributing to improved energy efficiency. The current energy label is D. Heating and hot water are supplied by a gas-fired combination boiler dating from 1995, which is included with the property. An electric boiler provides additional hot water capacity.
The rear garden measures approximately 92 square metres, with dimensions of roughly 15 metres in depth and 6.10 metres in width. The garden faces northwest and can be accessed via the rear alley. A balcony is also present on the first floor. The freestanding brick garage offers space for one vehicle and is equipped with electricity.
Parking in the vicinity is available through public on-street parking. The property is connected to fibre optic broadband, has external sun blinds, and includes a chimney flue. The house comprises two main living levels, plus an attic with a mezzanine and a cellar below ground level. In total there are five rooms, of which four are bedrooms, along with one bathroom and one separate toilet.
The neighbourhood is characterised by its leafy, mature streets and a strong sense of community. Families are drawn to the area for its proximity to quality schools and the natural beauty of the nearby heathland. The combination of period character, modern updates, and a highly convenient location makes this property a compelling option for those seeking a spacious family home in Bussum. Viewings can be arranged by appointment with the selling agent.
