Atmospheric Extended Terraced House with Sunny South-Facing Garden

Situated on the quiet Hoge Larenseweg in the Geuzenbuurt neighborhood of Hilversum, this charming terraced house dates back to 1925 and offers a pleasant combination of original character and modern comfort. The property was extended and renovated by the current owners in 2018, resulting in additional living space and a contemporary feel while preserving the authentic elements that give the home its distinctive atmosphere.

The location of this property is particularly noteworthy. Hoge Larenseweg is a quiet street with one-way traffic and no through road, ensuring a peaceful living environment. At the same time, the central position means that residents have convenient access to various amenities. The train station, city center, and nearby nature reserves are all within walking distance. Additionally, the main roads leading to other parts of the region are easily accessible from this location.

The ground floor of the property features an entrance hall with a staircase leading to the upper floors. The living and dining area is bright and inviting, benefitting from abundant natural light. The floor is finished with laminate, and there is a built-in storage cupboard as well as a meter cupboard. The 2018 extension has significantly enhanced the living space on this floor, creating an open and welcoming atmosphere. The kitchen is centrally positioned within the living area, allowing those preparing meals to remain connected with family members or guests in the living room. The extension has created ample space for a large dining table, making this area ideal for entertaining or family meals.

From the extension, there is access to a separate toilet and, through French doors, to the sunny backyard. The garden faces south, ensuring plenty of sunlight throughout the day during the warmer months. There is also rear access to the garden, which is a practical feature for various purposes.

The first floor of the property comprises a landing and two bedrooms. The main bedroom is located at the rear of the property and features a dormer window, which adds both natural light and additional headroom. A second bright bedroom is situated at the front of the house, also equipped with a dormer window. The bathroom on this floor is fitted with a shower and a washbasin unit. According to the features section, the bathroom also includes a bathtub, although the main description mentions only a shower and washbasin.

The second floor is an attic space that is accessible via a fixed staircase, indicating that this is a proper living level rather than a crawl space. This floor features a dormer window and houses the central heating installation. Currently, the current owners use this space as a home office and guest room, demonstrating its versatility. The room also provides substantial storage space, which is always a valuable feature in any home.

In terms of technical specifications, the property has an energy label C. The insulation includes roof insulation, double glazing, and HR glass, which contribute to the energy efficiency of the home. Heating and hot water are provided by a gas-fired combi boiler from Intergas, which was installed in 2021 and is owned by the sellers, meaning it will transfer to the new owner as part of the property.

The roof is a gable roof covered with tiles, which is typical for homes of this era in the Netherlands. The property also features exterior sun blinds, fiber optic cable for high-speed internet, and natural ventilation.

Outside, the property benefits from both a front garden and a backyard. There is also a freestanding wooden shed in the garden, providing additional storage space for garden tools, bicycles, or other items. The external storage space is listed at 4 square meters.

Parking in the area is regulated through a permit system, which is common in many Dutch residential neighborhoods. This typically means that residents can apply for a parking permit, while visitors may need to use paid parking or other arrangements.

The property has a total living area of approximately 81 square meters, with a plot size of 117 square meters and a volume of 290 cubic meters. It contains four rooms in total, of which three are bedrooms. There is one bathroom and one separate toilet. The property spans three living levels.

The asking price for this property is 450,000 euros, which is payable by the buyer (kosten koper). This translates to approximately 5,556 euros per square meter of living space. The property is offered with full ownership (volle eigendom), and the acceptance date is to be agreed upon with the sellers.

This terraced house on Hoge Larenseweg presents itself as a suitable option for couples or families seeking a characterful home with potential in a peaceful yet central location. The combination of the 2018 renovation, the south-facing garden, and the proximity to various amenities makes this a property worth considering for those looking to settle in Hilversum.
