Characterful Luxury Villa Fully Sustainable on Prime Location

This distinctive detached villa is situated on Kasteellaan in Wijchen, one of the most attractive avenues in the area known for its characteristic freestanding homes and green appearance. The property was originally built in 1930 and has since undergone a comprehensive renovation in 2011, followed by an upper floor extension completed in 2018. The result is a residence that successfully combines the appealing architectural elements of the 1930s period with contemporary living comfort and modern sustainability features.

The villa offers a generous living area of approximately 238 square meters spread across two residential floors. The total volume of the building measures 881 cubic meters, reflecting the high ceilings that are characteristic of properties from this era. The plot covers 382 square meters and includes both a front garden and a rear garden measuring 66 square meters with a depth of 11 meters and a width of 6 meters. The backyard faces north and is accessible via a rear path. Additionally, there is a freestanding wooden storage shed with electricity connection located at the rear of the property, accessible from the Walstrostraat.

Upon entering the home through the spacious entrance hall, visitors immediately notice the high-quality finish characterized by an attractive hardstone floor. The hall provides access to a separate toilet, the meter cupboard, and a practical home office. This ground-floor workspace offers a convenient solution for those who work from home, eliminating the need to occupy one of the upper-floor bedrooms.

The living room is designed with a cozy seating area centered around a classical fireplace featuring a decorative sandstone mantelpiece. Adjacent to this main seating area, there is a separate play corner specifically intended for children, allowing parents to supervise playtime while remaining in the main living space.

From the living room, authentic en-suite doors with stained glass lead to the spacious kitchen. This luxury kitchen is equipped with a cooking island and features a natural stone worktop. The kitchen includes various built-in appliances such as a Quooker instant boiling water tap, an induction cooktop, a combination microwave, an oven, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator. French doors in the kitchen provide direct access to the covered terraces in the garden.

Connected to the kitchen is a sizable utility room that houses the heat pump installation and contains connections for both a washing machine and a tumble dryer. This arrangement keeps laundry appliances conveniently out of sight while maintaining easy accessibility.
