Spacious Terraced House with Renovation Potential in Hilversum's Astronomische Buurt
Key Features
Description
Located on Orionlaan in the Astronomische Buurt neighborhood of Hilversum, this terraced house offers a solid foundation for those seeking a renovation project in a desirable residential area. Built in 1934, the property reflects the characteristic architectural style of the 1930s era while providing generous living space that can be modernized according to contemporary standards.
The property has a total living area of 128 square meters spread across two main living floors and an additional attic level. The plot measures 124 square meters, which includes both a front garden and a rear garden. With a volume of 427 cubic meters, the house offers a spacious feel throughout. The building is classified as a terraced house and carries energy label C, indicating moderate energy efficiency that could potentially be improved through renovation work.
Upon entering the property, you are welcomed by a hallway that provides access to the staircase, a toilet, and a cellar closet for additional storage. From the hallway, you reach the main living and dining area. The current owners have added an extension at the rear of the property, which has significantly increased the available living space and created an open and pleasant layout. The living area features sliding doors that establish a seamless connection to the garden, allowing natural light to enter and providing easy access to the outdoor space. The kitchen is situated at the rear of the ground floor.
The first floor is accessible via the staircase in the hallway. The landing provides access to the bedrooms and bathroom. Currently, the first floor is configured with two spacious bedrooms, as two original rooms have been combined to create one larger bedroom. The listing notes that this modification can be easily reversed by installing a partition wall, which would restore the original layout with three bedrooms on this level. The bathroom on this floor is equipped with a shower and a sink. This floor offers considerable potential for modernization and customization to suit personal preferences and requirements.
The attic floor is reached via a fixed staircase, indicating that this is a proper living level rather than just storage space. The attic features a spacious landing with storage areas and an additional bedroom. This configuration provides a total of four bedrooms across the property when the first floor is restored to its original three bedroom layout.
The rear garden faces northwest, which means it receives sunlight from the afternoon into the evening hours. The garden is 32 square meters in size, measuring 6 meters in depth and 5.25 meters in width. This deep garden provides space for multiple seating areas and allows for a green layout. The garden is accessible via a rear path. Additionally, there is a free standing stone storage shed on the property for garden equipment and bicycles.

The center of Hilversum, with its shops, restaurants, and cultural facilities, is located at a short distance.
