Description
Located in the desirable residential area of De Kieviet in Wassenaar, this detached villa at Julianaweg 5 represents a unique opportunity to acquire a family residence that combines historical character with modern luxury. The property is situated on a substantial, green corner plot measuring 1,590 square meters. The villa offers a total living area of 306 square meters and is currently listed on the market with an asking price of €2,350,000. The home is characterized by its low maintenance requirements, high level of finish, and excellent energy performance, holding an Energy Label A+.
The history of the property adds a layer of charm to its appeal. The central section of the villa was originally constructed in the early 20th century, serving initially as a garage and later as a clubhouse adjacent to the tennis court of a large estate. This estate was eventually developed into the current villawijk 'De Kieviet'. Remnants of this grand past can still be found in the garden, where old walls and a fountain remain as parts of the former estate's rose garden.
The interior layout has been meticulously designed following a total renovation completed in 2018. The ground floor welcomes residents through an entrance hall featuring built-in wardrobes. This space flows into a generous guest toilet. Adjacent to the hall is a versatile room that can function as a study or a family room, also equipped with built-in storage. The heart of the home is the spacious kitchen diner. This area is fitted with a high-quality granite countertop and features Siemens built-in appliances. The kitchen island includes a sink with a Quooker Cube, providing instant boiling water. Storage solutions are extensive, featuring a walk-in pantry in addition to the standard cabinetry. The kitchen opens into a conservatory or sunroom, which is fitted with double doors that provide direct access to the terraces in the backyard.
The living and dining room is a grand space measuring approximately 60 square meters. It is accessible from both the kitchen and the central hall. A wood-burning fireplace serves as a focal point in this room. The living area offers a seamless transition to the outdoors, with double doors opening to a south-facing terrace on the side and a west-facing terrace at the front. A portion of this large room has been partitioned to create a dedicated home office space. The flooring throughout the hall, kitchen, and conservatory consists of dark basalt tiles, a material that extends to the exterior entrance and terraces, creating a cohesive look. The living quarters are finished with oak Chapel parquet in a herringbone pattern, selected for its durability and compatibility with the underfloor heating system.
A notable feature of the ground floor is the integration of the former garage. Part of this structure has been incorporated into the kitchen, while the remainder has been transformed into a utility or hobby room. This space is accessible from the kitchen as well as via double doors from the driveway. It includes a sink and provides access to an attic via a loft ladder. Additionally, an enclosed staircase in the hall leads down to two cellar rooms, which house practical utilities like a hydrophore system and a close-in boiler for the kitchen. A wooden staircase, covered in leather, ascends to the first floor.
The first floor is designed around a spacious landing that benefits from a skylight and a Velux window, flooding the area with natural light. This level contains a laundry and drying room that houses the central ventilation unit and the central heating combi boiler. There is a separate toilet featuring a fountain and a bathroom equipped with a corner shower and a hanging toilet. The master suite is a luxurious retreat, comprising a large bedroom with access to a private balcony. It includes a fitted walk-in closet and an ensuite bathroom complete with a double washbasin unit, a semi-freestanding corner bath, a hanging toilet, and a large walk-in shower with daylight. The floor also hosts a smaller bedroom of 12 square meters and two additional spacious bedrooms, one of which features a pantry and a private terrace. The flooring on this level is oak Chapel in a ladder pattern, laid over underfloor heating.
The second floor provides additional accommodation with a landing and partially enclosed attic spaces. Multiple Velux windows ensure the area is bright and airy. Facilities on this level include a toilet and a shower with a washbasin. The attic bedroom is a standout feature, featuring two dormer windows and two large custom-made roller cabinets designed to fit the sloping roof lines. This floor is also finished with Chapel oak wide-plank flooring over underfloor heating.
The property is technologically advanced and energy-efficient. In addition to the Energy Label A+, the home is equipped with 29 solar panels. The central heating boiler is a 2024 Intergas Xtreme combi boiler. Insulation is comprehensive, featuring HR++ glass in new, white enamelled aluminium frames, roof insulation, wall insulation, and floor insulation. For climate control, air conditioning systems have been installed that provide both cooling and heating. The kitchen and all bathrooms have electric underfloor heating as an additional comfort measure. The property is prepared for future upgrades to a heat pump, with the electrical panel and cabling already in place. Energy storage is provided by a Sigenenergy 20kWh home battery with seamless backup switching. The electrical installation is robust, with 44 groups, four of which are three-phase power. Wired internet and TV connections are available in every room. The garden includes a cable ready for connection to an electric vehicle charging station.
The outdoor space is designed for ease of living. The garden is low maintenance and features terraces that enjoy sun exposure and privacy. Convenience is enhanced by electrically operated access gates, awnings, screens, and an alarm system. There is a detached stone storage shed. Parking is available on the private premises. The transfer of ownership will take place in consultation, and the standard NVM age clause and lead or asbestos clauses will be included in the purchase deed. The plot consists of two cadastral parcels, WASSENAAR H 948 and H 947, both under full ownership.
