Characterful 1930s Corner House with Spacious Garden Near Forest

This charming 1930s corner house, forming part of a three-under-one-roof arrangement, is situated on a generous plot of 410 square meters in the desirable village of Bilthoven. Built in 1929, the property offers approximately 146 square meters of living space and five bedrooms, making it well suited for a family seeking room to grow or the ability to combine living and working from home.

Upon entering the home, you are welcomed through a covered side entrance into a hallway that includes a cloakroom, meter cupboard, and access to a basement with standing height measuring approximately 9 square meters with a ceiling height of 1.75 meters. A separate toilet with a small handbasin completes the ground floor accommodation. The main living room is bright and spacious, featuring a wooden floor and opens directly onto the garden through French doors. A second sitting area at the front of the house is centered around a fireplace, and there is evidence of the original en-suite configuration that once separated the front and rear reception rooms. The kitchen is accessible from the hallway and includes a door leading out to the garden.

Moving to the first floor, the landing provides access to three rooms. The largest bedroom is located at the rear and benefits from fitted wardrobes, a wall-mounted air conditioning unit, and opens via French doors onto a good-sized balcony that catches the afternoon sun. A second bedroom at the front features its own washbasin and French doors leading to a loggia. The third room on this floor is currently used as a bedroom or home office and also includes a washbasin. The family bathroom on this floor is fitted with a shower, toilet, bidet, and handbasin.

The second floor contains two additional bedrooms. The front bedroom is compact and features a small dormer window, while the rear bedroom is served by a skylight. A landing on this floor houses the central heating boiler and provides useful storage space.

Outside, the property continues to impress. The south-facing rear garden measures approximately 143 square meters and is 15 meters deep by 9.5 meters wide. It is beautifully landscaped with an abundance of greenery, multiple seating areas, and a wooden shed located at the far end of the garden. A detached stone garage with a double door and electricity provides off-street parking for one vehicle. In addition, the property features a wide private driveway with space for several cars.

The property has been carefully maintained over the years. Exterior painting was completed in 2023. Nine solar panels were installed in 2023, which will help reduce energy costs going forward. The property is predominantly fitted with double glazing and is heated by a Nefit gas-fired combi boiler from 2017, which is owned. The current energy label is D, indicating that there is potential for further energy efficiency improvements if desired.

The location of this property is particularly noteworthy. The house sits on a bike street where cars are considered guests, contributing to a safe and pleasant environment. Bilthoven village center with its range of shops, charming restaurants, sports clubs, and NS train station is approximately a five-minute bicycle ride away. Train services from Bilthoven station reach Utrecht or Amersfoort in just ten minutes, making the property attractive for commuters. Nature enthusiasts will appreciate that the Okkersbos, managed by Utrechts Landschap, is within walking distance, and the surrounding area is generally green and forested. The combination of village amenities, excellent transport connections, and natural surroundings makes this a particularly pleasant place to live.

This property represents a solid foundation for a new owner to modernize and personalize according to their own taste. While the house has been well cared for, it is priced to reflect that a new owner may wish to update the kitchen, bathroom, and interior finishes to reflect contemporary preferences. The three-under-one-roof arrangement means shared party walls, though this is typical for properties of this era and style in the Netherlands. An old age clause applies to this property due to its 1929 construction date, which is standard for properties of this age.
