Characteristic 1930s Family Villa in Sought-After Zwarteberg, Laren
Key Features
Description
This spacious and characterful 1930s semidetached family home is situated on a generous plot in the heart of the much sought-after Zwarteberg villawijk in Laren, within the so-called 'Gouden Driehoek' or Golden Triangle. With a living area of 208 square metres across three floors plus a basement, and a plot of 473 square metres, this property offers an exceptional amount of space for a family.
The house was constructed in 1938 and retains numerous original architectural details from the era, including beautiful stained glass windows, a stately swept staircase, and original 1930s en-suite sliding doors that can separates the living room from the rest of the ground floor. These period features are complemented by a full range of modern amenities, including a B-energy label achieved through comprehensive insulation of the roof, walls, floors, and double glazing throughout. The property was last updated with a Nefit Topline combination boiler running on natural gas, installed in 2016 and owned outright.
Upon entering, you are welcomed into a generous hallway that sets the tone for the rest of the home. The hall features the original swept staircase with decorative balustrade, a practical cloakroom area, a guest toilet, and the characteristic stained glass panel that floods the space with coloured light. From the hallway, you have access to all principal ground floor rooms.
The open-plan kitchen is located at the rear of the house, overlooking the garden. It is finished in a bright, light colour scheme and comes equipped with a full range of built-in appliances. The kitchen flows naturally into the spacious dining room, which has double doors opening directly onto the garden terrace. This creates a natural and open living space ideal for family life and entertaining. Adjacent to the kitchen is a practical utility room with an exposed beam ceiling, which serves as a secondary entrance from the rear garden. Here you will find the connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer, direct access to the garden, and a door to a versatile multi-purpose room that can function as a home office, study, playroom, or television room, with double doors opening onto the rear garden. A loft ladder in this area provides access to a large roof storage void containing the central heating system.
The living room occupies the front of the house and benefits from an abundance of natural light through large windows overlooking the front garden. The mature rhododendron hedges along the road ensure privacy while still maintaining an open and pleasant streetscape view. The living room can be separated from the adjacent spaces by means of the original stained glass en-suite doors, adding warmth and cosiness to this room in the cooler months.
The first floor is reached via the impressive swept staircase and arrives at a large landing with a beautiful stained glass window flooding the area with daylight. The main bathroom on this floor is generously sized and bright, fitted with a comfortable bath, a walk-in shower, a double vanity unit, and a separate toilet. Three full-sized bedrooms are located on this floor. The master bedroom is particularly spacious and features double doors opening onto a balcony, which catches the morning sun. A second bathroom serves the remaining bedrooms on this floor.
The second floor accommodates two further generously proportioned bedrooms, providing ample sleeping accommodation for a large family or the possibility for guests and teenage children to have their own separate floor. There is also a large, light-filled multipurpose room on this floor, ideal for use as a playroom, hobby room, or additional living space, with panoramic views over the surrounding greenery. A second bathroom on this floor is fitted with a shower, toilet, and washbasin. A large attic storage void above all second floor rooms provides extensive additional storage capacity.
The basement, accessible from the hallway, adds further practical storage and utility space to the property.
Outside, the rear garden measures approximately 126 square metres and is orientated to the east, providing a pleasant sunny spot during the morning and midday hours. The garden is laid to lawn with a patio area directly accessible from the dining room. A practical wooden bicycle shed is included. The front garden is well-established with mature planting, and the private driveway offers off-street parking with a charging point ready for an electric vehicle.
Location is one of the most compelling aspects of this property. Leemzeulder is a tree-lined avenue known for its spacious plots and mature planting, situated within one of the most desirable residential areas of Zwarteberg. The centre of Laren, with its charming boutique shops, specialist stores, excellent restaurants, and the renowned Singer Museum, is within easy walking distance. Local primary schools are also nearby. For those who enjoy the outdoors, the surrounding forest and heathlands of the Gooi region are within walking or cycling distance, perfect for walks with dogs or leisurely family outings.
Transport connections are excellent. The A1 motorway provides a direct link to Amsterdam and Utrecht, while the A27 gives access to Amersfoort and the wider north-south corridor. Several bus stops in the vicinity provide public transport options. Schiphol International Airport is reachable within approximately forty minutes by car.
In summary, this property offers a rare combination of authentic 1930s character, generous proportions, a prime residential location, and the comfort of a modern B-energy rating. It represents an excellent opportunity for a family seeking space, quality, and a prestigious address in one of the most attractive villages in the Gooi region.
