Charming 1928 Corner House with Authentic Details in Bussum

This charming corner residence located at K.P.C. de Bazelstraat in Bussum presents a unique opportunity to acquire a family home rich in character and history. Situated in the highly sought-after Godelindekwartier, this property dates back to 1928 and retains a wealth of authentic style elements while having been thoroughly maintained and updated over the years to meet modern standards. The house offers a generous living space and is ideally suited for families looking for a combination of historical charm and modern livability in a quiet, child-friendly neighborhood. The location in Bussum is particularly desirable, known for its green character and excellent connectivity to larger cities like Amsterdam and Utrecht, yet the immediate vicinity offers a peaceful residential atmosphere.

Upon approaching the property, the facade immediately catches the eye with its characteristic front door and a charming, wooden authentic canopy that invites one inside. The entrance hall features a draft portal leading into the L-shaped hallway. This area sets the tone for the rest of the home, featuring a toilet room equipped with a fountain and a beautiful stained glass window. Practical storage is available immediately in the form of a cellar, accessible from the hall, which houses the meterkast and provides useful space for storage.

The living and dining room forms the true heart of the home. This space is characterized by the presence of original en-suite doors that are fitted with stained glass, separating the living area from the dining area while allowing light to filter through elegantly. These doors, along with the beautiful bay window (erker) in the living room, serve as prime examples of the authentic style features that have been kept in excellent condition. In the living room, a wood-burning open hearth creates a warm and cozy atmosphere during the colder months, serving as a focal point for the room. The dining room is bright and accessible via the en-suite doors and features opening doors that lead directly to the backyard, creating a seamless transition between indoor and outdoor living spaces.

Adjacent to the dining room is the spacious, closed kitchen. The kitchen is laid out in a semi-U configuration, providing ample workspace and storage for culinary enthusiasts. It comes equipped with various modern built-in appliances and includes a convenient Quooker boiling water tap for instant hot water. A particularly charming feature in the kitchen is the authentic built-in cupboard for dishes, which reinforces the historic feel of the home and adds a touch of nostalgia. Thanks to the large window surfaces, the kitchen is flooded with natural light. Like the dining room, the kitchen also offers access to the backyard, making it a practical space for daily use and entertaining guests during summer gatherings.

The first floor of the residence is accessible via the staircase in the hall. On the landing, one finds an original, well-maintained dormer window which adds to the character of this level. This floor hosts three bedrooms that vary in size, offering flexibility in their use. The master bedroom is situated at the rear of the house and features opening doors that open up to a balcony, offering a private outdoor space to enjoy the morning air. The second large bedroom is located at the front of the house and also features opening doors that provide a nice view through the street opposite, specifically the Voormeulenweg. The bathroom on this floor is completely finished and features a bathtub, a walk-in shower, a vanity unit, and a second toilet. The bathroom is decorated in a tasteful black and white color scheme, giving it a timeless and stylish look.

The second floor of the home provides two additional bedrooms, bringing the total number of bedrooms to five. Both rooms on this floor are equipped with fixed closets and offer extra storage space behind the knee walls, which is practical for keeping the rooms tidy and organized. The bedroom located at the rear is fitted with a plastic dormer window, ensuring good light exposure. From the landing on this floor, there is access to a separate room or storage area where the central heating boiler is installed. This technical space ensures the utilities are neatly tucked away, preserving the clean lines of the living areas. Storage capacity in this home is excellent, with the landing on the second floor equipped with a loft ladder that leads to a vliering, or attic space. This attic has a height of 1.37 meters and features a small skylight, serving as a perfect area to store seasonal items or luggage.

The outdoor spaces of this property are as appealing as the interior. The backyard is situated on the east and offers a high degree of privacy, enclosed by borders and featuring flower boxes and a lovely terrace. The garden includes a stone storage shed equipped with electricity, adjacent to which is an extra attached wooden storage shed, offering ample room for garden tools and bicycles. Via the side of the house, the side garden and the front garden are accessible. These areas are attractively laid out with planting and terraces. A notable convenience is the inconspicuous parking space that has been realized on the property's own ground in the front garden, a luxury in this neighborhood. There is also the possibility to realize a charging point for an electric car on the premises.

Technically, the property is in good order. Over the years, the home has been well maintained and various insulating measures have been applied, resulting in a fully insulated home. Specific insulation includes roof insulation, double glazing, HR glass, wall insulation, and floor insulation. The colored stained glass windows found in various places throughout the house have recently been executed in double glass, combining aesthetics with energy efficiency. These improvements contribute to the energy label C. The property also features nine solar panels which are owned by the property, contributing to lower energy costs. The central heating system is provided by a Remeha Calente 40C combi boiler from 2021, which is also owned. The meter cupboard has been modernized to meet current standards. With a living area of approximately 147 square meters and a plot size of 247 square meters, this property offers a substantial family home in a prime location.
