Description
This distinctive detached villa was constructed in 1980 following architectural design principles, offering approximately 228 square meters of living space on a generous plot of 2,150 square meters in the picturesque village of Hoog-Keppel.
The property is situated along one of the most beautiful avenues of Hoog-Keppel, nestled within the beloved coulisse landscape of the Hummelo en Keppel region. Residents enjoy daily views over the surrounding meadows and characteristic natural scenery that makes this area particularly sought after. The village is surrounded by forests, walking trails, and cycling paths, with a public outdoor swimming pool within walking distance and the 18-hole Keppelse Golfclub nearby.
The villa presents a striking entrance and features a spacious driveway leading to the garage. The beautifully designed south-facing garden, with mature plantings and an attractive pond feature, creates a natural and relaxed ambiance throughout the seasons. Large windows throughout the property frame the surrounding landscape and ensure pleasant natural light in all living spaces.
On the ground floor, the spacious entrance hall immediately conveys the pleasant atmosphere and generous proportions of the villa. The elegant marble flooring continues harmoniously into the cloakroom, toilet, and adjacent study or home office space. The generous living room forms the warm heart of the home, with large windows providing beautiful natural light and offering views of the green garden and surrounding countryside from almost every angle. The attractive open fireplace gives the living area extra character and creates a wonderful space for gathering in any season.

The utility room features built-in storage and provides access to the spacious garage, which is equipped with a mechanically operated garage door and separate pedestrian door.

This area also offers the possibility to create an additional fourth bedroom if desired. The floor accommodates three comfortable bedrooms, all equipped with practical storage cupboards. A generous bathroom is complete with bathtub, shower, double sinks, and bidet, with separate access from the master bedroom.
A folding loft ladder provides access to the practical storage attic on the second floor, where the central heating system is located along with additional storage space. A roof window ensures natural light in this area.

The location offers a unique combination of tranquility, nature, and accessibility that is rare to find.
Given the available space within the building plot, possibilities for extension or addition are substantial. While the property has been carefully maintained over the years, there are opportunities to modernize certain aspects according to personal taste and living requirements. This combination of fantastic location, timeless design, and potential to create a contemporary dream home represents the particular appeal of this villa.
