Description
Discover a unique living opportunity on the Jacob van Campenlaan in Hilversum. This inviting ground floor corner apartment offers a blend of comfortable indoor space and exceptional outdoor features, making it a rare find in the current market. Situated in a quiet and sheltered location within a pleasant residential neighborhood, this property provides an ideal retreat from the bustle of daily life while maintaining excellent connectivity to local amenities. The apartment is characterized by its practical layout and the potential it offers for a new owner to put their own stamp on the interior. With a generous backyard and the luxury of private parking, this home caters to a lifestyle of convenience and outdoor enjoyment.
The location is one of the standout features of this property. Residents benefit from a prime position close to various shopping centers. The Seinhorst shopping center and the neighborhood shopping center on Stephensonlaan are just a short distance away, ensuring that daily groceries and other essentials are always within reach. For those who commute or travel frequently, the connections are superb. Mediapark station is within easy walking distance, and a quick ten minute bike ride will take you to Hilversum Central Station, offering extensive train connections. Furthermore, the on ramps to the A1 and A27 motorways are very close by, making car travel to surrounding cities like Amsterdam and Utrecht efficient and straightforward. The street itself is quiet, contributing to a peaceful living environment.
Upon entering the building, you reach the apartment via the central hall and staircase. The front door opens into a hallway that provides access to the various rooms in the home. The living room is a highlight, featuring a bright and airy L shaped layout. Thanks to the many windows, natural light floods the space, creating a welcoming atmosphere. A charming round window adds a playful architectural detail to the room. The living area is finished in light colors, which enhances the sense of space. Adjacent to the living room is the kitchen, which is equipped with a four burner gas hob, an electric oven, an extractor hood, and a refrigerator. While the kitchen is functional, the listing indicates that an investment in the kitchen could be considered, allowing new owners to modernize the space to their own taste.
The apartment houses two comfortable bedrooms. The master bedroom is located at the rear of the property and features a window overlooking the deep backyard, offering a pleasant view of the garden. A convenient sink is installed in this bedroom. A niche in the room houses the nearly new Intergas central heating combi boiler, which ensures efficient heating and warm water supply. The second bedroom is situated at the front of the apartment and includes a window facing the front garden. The bathroom is accessible from the hallway and is equipped with a shower and a toilet. The bathroom floor was renewed in 2014 and the walls have been re tiled, ensuring a clean and fresh appearance. It is worth noting that the apartment is finished in light colors, but potential buyers should keep in mind that investments in flooring and painting may be desired to fully personalize the home.
One of the most impressive aspects of this property is the outdoor space. The southeast facing backyard is truly expansive, measuring 17 meters deep and 8.41 meters wide, totaling 143 square meters. This deep and wide garden offers endless possibilities to create your own dream garden. Whether you prefer to lounge in the sun or sit in the cool shade, the orientation and size of the garden allow you to choose your spot throughout the day. There is also a front garden which catches the evening sun. Located directly behind the garden is a detached stone shed, providing excellent storage space for garden furniture, bicycles, or tools.
Parking is often a premium in residential areas, but this property solves that issue completely. From the road, a private path of approximately 2.40 meters wide leads to the back of the property. Here, you will find two private parking spaces situated on the own land behind the home. This means you will never have to worry about finding a parking spot after a long day. Additionally, there is ample free parking available along the road for guests. The property is part of an active Homeowners Association (VvE) which is registered with the Chamber of Commerce, holds annual meetings, and has a maintenance plan and reserve fund in place. The monthly contribution is 144 euros. Please note that a non occupancy clause will be included in the purchase agreement, meaning the buyer cannot occupy the property themselves, making this an interesting option for investors. The transfer will take place at a notary office in Hilversum.
