Unique Corner Home with Guesthouse in Hilversum Center
Key Features
Description
Located in the heart of Hilversum, this charming corner property at Naarderstraat 78 offers a rare combination of historical character and modern living. Built in 1902, the building has been completely modernized in 2019 while preserving its authentic details, including stained glass windows that provide pleasant light throughout the interior.
The property consists of two connected sections: the original residential house and a former office space that has been transformed into a separate guesthouse. This configuration creates numerous possibilities for the future owner, whether that involves accommodating family members, providing home care, operating a business from home, or running a bed and breakfast throughout the year.
The main residence features a luxury kitchen equipped with a cooking island and breakfast bar. The kitchen includes high quality built in appliances such as a Quooker instant boiling water tap, an induction cooktop with integrated extraction system, an oven, a dishwasher, and a refrigerator freezer combination. The main bathroom has been finished to a high standard with a freestanding bathtub, a spacious walk in shower, a vanity unit, and a wall mounted toilet.
The guesthouse operates as a self contained unit with its own front door, a living room, and a kitchenette complete with a cooktop and refrigerator. The lower level of the guesthouse contains a bedroom with an en suite modern bathroom featuring a toilet, shower, and washbasin. There is also a former staircase connecting to a bedroom on the first floor, which is currently accessed from the main house but could potentially be incorporated into the guesthouse layout.
In total, the property offers five bedrooms. The entire building benefits from double glazing and roof insulation, contributing to energy efficiency despite the E energy label rating. Heating and hot water are provided by a Remeha gas fired combination boiler installed in 2019, which is included in the purchase. The property has both mechanical and natural ventilation systems, as well as TV cable connections.
The living area measures 155 square meters, spread across four living levels plus a basement. The building volume is 594 cubic meters, and the plot size is 167 square meters. The property includes 24 square meters of building related outdoor space and 14 square meters of external storage space.
Outdoor spaces include a front garden measuring 40 square meters with a depth of two meters and a width of twenty meters, facing southwest. There is also a side garden. The garden at the side and rear includes a right of way for neighboring properties. A free standing stone storage shed provides additional storage capacity.
The property includes a roof terrace of 24 square meters accessible through Velux roof terrace windows on the second floor. It should be noted that a permit application for this roof terrace is currently pending, meaning it cannot officially be used as a terrace until the permit is granted.
The Naarderstraat is situated in the center of Hilversum, in the Langgewenstbuurt area. This location provides immediate access to a wide range of amenities. The train and bus station is within walking distance, as are supermarkets, healthcare facilities, childcare centers, schools, various shops, and restaurants. The weekly market takes place every Wednesday and Saturday just around the corner. Foodhall Mout, a popular dining destination, is also nearby.
For those who appreciate nature, the Goois Natuurreservaat, one of the largest nature reserves in the region, is close by, allowing residents to enjoy both urban convenience and natural surroundings. By car, the A1 and A27 highways can be reached within approximately ten minutes, providing connections to Utrecht, Amsterdam, and Almere.
Parking in the area is regulated, with options for paid parking or permit holders. The first resident parking permit costs 20 euros per year, the second resident permit is 75 euros per year, and a business permit is available for 100 euros per year.
The asking price is 735,000 euros, which translates to approximately 4,742 euros per square meter of living space. The property is offered with a cost buyer condition, meaning the buyer is responsible for transfer taxes and notary costs associated with the purchase. The delivery date can be negotiated.
This property presents an unusual opportunity in the Hilversum housing market. The combination of a renovated historic home with a separate guesthouse unit provides flexibility that is seldom found in center locations. The 2019 renovation ensures that while the character of the 1902 building has been maintained, the facilities and finishes meet contemporary standards.
The property type is classified as a single family corner house, making it part of the existing building stock rather than new construction. The roof is a composite structure covered with bituminous roofing material and tiles.
Viewings can be scheduled online directly through the listing platform. Given the unique nature of this property and its central location, interested parties are encouraged to arrange a visit to fully appreciate the layout and potential that this building offers.
