Description
This detached residence in Scherpenzeel offers a living experience that combines spacious interiors with high-quality finishes and outdoor luxury. The property spans approximately 221 square meters of living space, situated on a plot of 507 square meters. Built in 2001, the home has been maintained and updated to meet contemporary standards of comfort and energy efficiency.
The entrance is located on the side facade, leading into a hallway that immediately sets the tone for the home's premium character. A distinctive glass plate covering the access to the crawl space serves as a stylish and creative focal point. The hallway also houses the meter cupboard and a separate toilet.
The living room is generously proportioned and features a wooden floor and an attractive bay window. Large window sections and windows in the side facade ensure this is a pleasantly bright living space. Natural light floods the room throughout the day, creating an inviting atmosphere for relaxation or entertaining.
The true centerpiece of the ground floor is the luxury open-plan kitchen. This space truly functions as the heart of the home. The kitchen island is equipped with an induction cooktop and a Quooker instant boiling water tap, providing ample workspace and storage. A cabinet wall contains various built-in appliances with additional space for a freestanding refrigerator-freezer combination. The harmonic doors can be opened fully, allowing the interior and exterior to merge seamlessly.
On the first floor, the landing provides access to a separate toilet, a bathroom, and three spacious bedrooms. The bathroom is fitted with a bathtub, a walk-in shower, and a double vanity. The master bedroom features a generous walk-in closet, adding to the convenience and luxury of this level.
The second floor consists of a landing area housing the central heating boiler and the heat recovery installation, along with an additional bedroom. This floor provides flexible space that could serve as a home office, guest room, or hobby area depending on the new owner's needs.
The garden is beautifully landscaped and exudes luxury and relaxation. Multiple terraces, abundant greenery, a swimming pool, a veranda, and an exclusive garden room with underfloor heating create an outdoor living environment that feels like a permanent vacation. The garden room, equipped with harmonic doors and finished to the same high standard as the main house, functions as a true extension of the living space. A separate equipment room houses the pool machinery.
At the rear of the garden stands a garage or shed with a pointed roof, providing additional storage or workshop space. The property includes parking on its own premises.
The home benefits from numerous modern amenities and sustainable features. Sixteen solar panels were installed in 2024, contributing to reduced energy costs. The property holds an energy label A rating, supported by roof insulation, high-efficiency glazing, and floor insulation. Heating is provided by two gas-fired combination boilers, a Nefit HRC30 VW5II and a Remeha Avanta, both from 2021 and owned by the property owner. Supplementary heating comes from a wood-burning stove and partial underfloor heating. A heat recovery system further enhances energy efficiency.
Additional features include exterior awnings, fiber optic cable connection, mechanical ventilation, roller shutters, and a chimney. The rear garden measures 255 square meters, approximately 24.74 meters deep and 10.31 meters wide, oriented to the north and accessible via a rear path.
The property is located on a quiet, dead-end street in Scherpenzeel, offering a peaceful residential setting while maintaining connectivity to local amenities. The full ownership status provides certainty and flexibility for the buyer.
With four bedrooms and five rooms total across two living levels plus a loft, this home accommodates families of various sizes. The combination of indoor luxury, outdoor recreation facilities, and energy-efficient systems makes this property a distinctive offering in the Scherpenzeel housing market.
The architectural design of this home follows a traditional tent roof structure covered with tiles, which is characteristic of Dutch residential architecture from the early 2000s. The exterior presents a clean and maintained appearance that hints at the quality found within. The total building volume amounts to 831 cubic meters, providing a sense of solidity and spaciousness.
The ground floor layout flows logically from the entrance through the public spaces. The positioning of the kitchen adjacent to the outdoor areas demonstrates thoughtful planning, acknowledging that modern living often revolves around cooking, dining, and outdoor entertainment as interconnected activities. The harmonic doors serve as both a practical and aesthetic element, allowing the boundary between interior and exterior to dissolve during favorable weather conditions.
The kitchen design reflects current trends in residential architecture where the kitchen has evolved from a purely functional space to a social hub. The island configuration encourages interaction while cooking, and the high-end appliances suggest that this home was designed for those who take culinary activities seriously. The inclusion of a Quooker tap, providing instant boiling water, represents attention to convenience that discerning buyers appreciate.
Moving to the upper levels, the bedroom configuration offers flexibility. The three bedrooms on the first floor provide the primary sleeping quarters, with the master bedroom's walk-in closet being a particularly desirable feature that eliminates the need for freestanding wardrobes and maximizes floor space. The second-floor bedroom could serve multiple purposes depending on household composition, such as a teenager's retreat, a guest room, or a dedicated workspace for those who work from home.
The bathroom, while serving all four bedrooms, is well-appointed with both a bathtub and a walk-in shower, accommodating different preferences within a household. The double vanity adds practical convenience for busy mornings. An additional separate toilet on this floor reduces potential bottlenecks during peak usage times.
The garden room represents perhaps the most distinctive feature of this property. This is not merely a conservatory or sunroom but a fully integrated living space with underfloor heating, ensuring year-round usability. In the Dutch climate, such a space provides the opportunity to enjoy garden views and natural light even during cooler months, effectively extending the living area without the full cost and complexity of a traditional extension.
The swimming pool transforms the outdoor area from a standard garden into a recreational facility. While pools are relatively uncommon in Dutch residential properties due to the climate, they are highly valued when present and suggest a lifestyle orientation toward outdoor living and entertaining. The separate machinery room indicates professional installation and proper maintenance infrastructure.
The energy performance of this property deserves attention. Achieving an A energy label for a home built in 2001 requires significant investment in insulation and efficiency measures. The combination of roof insulation, high-efficiency glazing, floor insulation, and a heat recovery system demonstrates that previous owners have committed to reducing energy consumption. The 2024 installation of sixteen solar panels represents the most recent upgrade, positioning the new owner to benefit from reduced electricity costs and potentially generate surplus energy.
The presence of two central heating boilers might raise questions, though this configuration can serve different zones or provide redundancy. Both units date from 2021, suggesting they were replaced as part of a renovation or upgrade project, and both are owned rather than rented, which has financial implications for the buyer.
The location on a dead-end street is consistently valued in residential real estate as it reduces through traffic, enhancing safety for children and pets while creating a quieter living environment. The north-facing garden orientation is less common and less preferred than south-facing gardens in the Netherlands, as it receives less direct sunlight, particularly during winter months. However, this orientation can also mean the garden remains cooler during summer, which some residents may appreciate.
The asking price places this property in the upper segment of the Scherpenzeel market. The price per square meter of approximately 4,932 euros reflects the premium features, recent upgrades, and the relative scarcity of properties with pools and extensive outdoor living spaces in this municipality. Buyers considering this property would likely compare it not only to other homes in Scherpenzeel but also to similar luxury properties in surrounding areas.
The full ownership status is the most favorable form of property ownership in the Netherlands, as it means the land and building are owned outright without leasehold obligations or ground rent payments. The cadastral designation SCHERPENZEEL C 1038 provides the official identification for title registration purposes.
For prospective buyers, this property would likely appeal to families seeking a spacious, luxury home with outdoor amenities, or to couples who wish to maintain a high standard of living. The combination of modern efficiency features with established landscaping suggests a home that is immediately livable without requiring significant additional investment.
