Description
This detached villa is situated in the unique location known as the Duizend Eilandenrijk in Zuid-Scharwoude. The property offers a combination of atmosphere, space, and a special outdoor life on a beautiful spot by the water. The residence features a conservatory, a wood burning stove, four bedrooms, and a garden designed as a private oasis with Japanese influences and a boathouse for a sloop. Upon approaching the property, the house immediately presents itself as a home maintained with care where character and atmosphere go hand in hand. The double front door with rotating windows and ornamental grilles provides a preview of the interior style.
The entrance hall sets the tone with a warm atmosphere felt immediately upon entering. The floor with classic tiles forms a contrast with the warm tones found throughout the rest of the house. From the hall, there is access to a toilet, the meter cupboard, the staircase to the first floor, and the living room. Details such as the Bakelite light switches and the characteristic door with stained glass reveal that attention has been paid to style and atmosphere throughout the home.
The living room immediately draws attention to the pleasant conservatory offering a fantastic view of the garden. The warm wooden floor, cast iron radiators, and the wood burning stove ensure an atmosphere that is both comfortable and characterful. Thanks to the windows on all sides, daylight enters abundantly, making the room a pleasant place to stay at any time of the day. Through the aluminum rear facade with a folding door, one enters the conservatory. This space serves as a pleasant extension of the living area where inside and outside flow into each other naturally. The conservatory is equipped with heaters, a light street, a sun screen, an awning, and glass sliding doors all around, allowing for enjoyment of the garden view throughout the year.
The living room is in open connection with the kitchen, creating a unified living space on the ground floor. The kitchen, dating from 2017, combines functionality with sociability. The Portuguese tile floor gives this space its own character and is equipped with electric underfloor heating for comfort while cooking. The kitchen itself features various built-in appliances, including a combi oven and steam oven, a 5-burner gas stove, and a natural stone composite worktop. A bar has been created where one can quietly drink coffee in the morning or where friends and family can sit while the host is busy in the kitchen.
From the kitchen, one proceeds to the utility room which houses the CV installation and an extra kitchen unit. This practical space is ideal for extra storage, placing white goods, or organizing daily household chores. Adjacent to this is the office. This surprisingly spacious and light room lends itself excellently as a home workplace or practice space at home, featuring a separate entrance. The office also provides access to the internal storage and the backyard.
Via the stairs, the first floor is reached where the space and comfort of the house are clearly evident. The entire floor is equipped with neat, continuous laminate flooring providing a calm and well-maintained appearance. The landing gives access to four bedrooms and the bathroom. The master bedroom located at the rear of the house is a wonderful place to end the day. It features a practical walk-in closet and air conditioning for a pleasant indoor climate, even during warm summer days.
A second bedroom is equipped with a fixed wardrobe wall offering abundant storage space. This room can serve as a full bedroom or as a walk-in closet and dressing room for the adjacent master bedroom. The third bedroom offers a fine and light space suitable as a childrens room, guest room, or hobby room. In combination with the adjacent room with the fixed wardrobe wall, a suite with its own dressing room can easily be created. The fourth bedroom has a dormer window creating extra space and light, with a space-saving sliding door making it particularly practical. This room is suitable as a bedroom or ideal as a home office or workspace.
The bathroom is modern and fully equipped with a comfortable walk-in shower featuring two rain showers, a second toilet, and a washbasin with furniture. The presence of underfloor heating provides extra comfort, particularly in the mornings and during colder months. Via a pull-down staircase on the landing, the attic floor is reached. This space has a skylight providing natural light and offers ample storage space for seasonal items, suitcases, and other goods not needed daily.
The internal storage is accessible via the office and features double opening doors to the outside, making the space extremely practical for storing bicycles or other items within easy reach. Stepping outside, one notices that the outdoor area is much more than just a garden. It is a carefully landscaped environment where rest, nature, and enjoyment are central. At the front of the house is a practical canopy where two cars can be parked under cover. A charging point is present here, accommodating electric driving as part of daily convenience.
Next to the house is the boathouse equipped with a boat lift, providing a practical and sheltered spot for a sloop. From here, one can sail straight onto the water to discover the surroundings. Scattered throughout the southwest oriented garden are several terraces, each with its own atmosphere. There is a canopy specifically for the wood-fired or electrically heated hot tub, allowing for relaxation at any time. Additionally, there is a cozy canopy with a wood stove and an adjacent storage room equipped with a workbench and storage for garden tools.
One of the highlights is the deck terrace on the water. With the swimming ladder, a refreshing dip on hot days is easily taken, after which one can enjoy the view over the greenery and the rippling water. A pond contributes to the serene atmosphere of the garden with the soft sound of water and fish providing a calming element fitting the natural appearance. The garden is clearly inspired by Japanese garden art with organic shapes, different shades of green, and natural materials ensuring a serene and harmonious look. Water, natural stone, and planting form a balanced whole where rest and nature converge.
The house is located in a quiet, private, and green location in the Duizend Eilandenrijk with a free view of greenery on three sides. Residents live in a small-scale and atmospheric residential environment where nature and water play the main role. Daily facilities are surprisingly close by. In the center of Noord and Zuid-Scharwoude there are supermarkets, shops, schools, sports clubs, and catering establishments. Recreation area Geestmerambacht is a short distance away and the beach is reachable within 30 minutes by car. The location in the Oosterdel area itself offers options for swimming, walking, sailing, or enjoying nature.
