Key Features
Description
Located at Schuttersweg 50 in the desirable Boomberg district of Hilversum, this detached villa offers a unique combination of spacious living, a large garden, and a swimming pool. The property is situated directly opposite the Corversbos forest, providing a green and peaceful setting while remaining close to the amenities of Hilversum center.
The house was built in 1950 and features a characteristic sloping slate roof, travertine elements, and bay windows typical of the architecture from that period. The total living area measures 281 square meters, spread over two main living levels and a basement. The plot covers an impressive 2,463 square meters, with the garden designed by landscape architect Mien Ruys, ensuring an attractive layout throughout all seasons.
On the ground floor, the central hall provides access to a wardrobe, a toilet, and doors leading to the sitting room, the kitchen, and a study. The kitchen is designed in a rural style with ample storage and workspace, offering room for a large dining table. An attached separate dining room features French doors opening to the garden and connects to a second hall. The very generous sitting room includes a fireplace and French doors to the garden. A work or television room provides garden access and leads to a dressing room. A bedroom on this level includes built-in closets and offers a pleasant view over the garden. The en-suite bathroom on this floor contains a walk-in shower, toilet, double vanity, and a closet with washing machine connections. This bathroom has direct access to the garden and is conveniently located near the swimming pool. A storage area is situated in the front section of the former garage. The second hall features a back door, toilet, shower, and stairs to the basement.
The basement level includes a practical utility room with a small kitchen unit and a spacious work or playroom with daylight and a door to the cuckoo for fresh air. Thanks to its own entrance, this space is highly suitable for a home office or practice room where clients can be received. It also serves well as a playroom or personal gym.
The cellar, accessible via a fixed staircase from the kitchen, functions ideally as a wine cellar. It stays cool, is conveniently located near the kitchen, and includes a lockable wine cabinet. A second storage cellar houses the central heating boiler.
The first floor contains three bedrooms. A very spacious bedroom at the front of the house includes a fixed closet and its own washbasin. A second bedroom is located on the side of the house. The third large bedroom at the rear provides storage space behind the knee walls. This floor also features two separate large attic spaces, offering substantial storage capacity.
The garden surrounding the property was designed by Mien Ruys and has a park-like character with flowering plants in every season. The grounds include ample lawn areas, planted borders, and multiple terraces, always providing a spot to enjoy the sun. For children, the garden offers many hiding places and a traditional swing. The outdoor swimming pool is located in the rear left section of the garden, positioned so it is not directly visible from the house and can be closed off from the rest of the garden. Two practical wooden garden sheds are present. The front garden includes an orchard, and tall hedges provide privacy for both the garden and the house. A wide driveway offers parking space for multiple cars, ensuring that visitors always have a place to park.
The Boomberg neighborhood is located on the edge of a villa district and directly opposite the Corversbos. The property is situated on a quiet side road that is a dead end for cars, resulting mainly in bicycle traffic. The vibrant center of Hilversum with all its facilities is a short bike ride away. The Mediapark is just around the corner. Various schools, hockey, tennis, and football fields, as well as the A1 and A27 highways, are all within close distance. Multiple NS train stations are nearby.
The house has been structurally inspected, and a building inspection report is available for more clarity. The property is described as well maintained, though certain aspects reflect the original period and offer opportunities for modernization and layout adjustments. The current energy label is F, and the property has largely double-glazed windows. Heating is provided by a Remeha gas-fired combination boiler from 2022, which is owned, supplemented by an open fireplace. Other features include an alarm system, outdoor sun blinds, skylights, a fiber optic cable connection, mechanical and natural ventilation, a smoke channel, and a TV cable.
The cadastral registration shows two parcels: HILVERSUM P 288 measuring 2,420 square meters and HILVERSUM P 1065 measuring 43 square meters, both in full ownership. The property includes a detached wooden shed with electricity but without insulation. Parking is available on the property's own grounds.
With four bedrooms, two bathrooms, and one separate toilet, the house offers practical family accommodation. The total of nine rooms provides flexibility in how the space is used. The possibility of single-level living exists due to the bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. The basement with its own entrance adds significant potential for those working from home or running a practice.
This villa in the Boomberg quarter presents a rare opportunity to acquire a spacious family home with an exceptionally large garden in a sought-after location near the forests of Hilversum, combining the character of a 1950s property with the potential for contemporary updates.
