Monumental City Residence with Private Garden and Carriage House
Key Features
Description
Stromarkt 8 is an address that speaks for itself. Located in the historic heart of Deventer, this property is the Rijksmonument known as Huis Dumbar. It is a building that has survived generations and continues to impress. Behind the stately 18th century facade lies a world of grandeur, history, and a completely enclosed private garden that one would hardly expect to find in this specific location. This is not a standard residence, it is a possession with significant meaning. Living on this level is a unique experience that invites exploration.
The monumental grandeur of the property is immediately apparent. Upon passing the 18th century style facade, the atmosphere shifts. The bustle of the city fades away, and one enters a world where centuries converge. This was the residence of Jacob Revius. It was home to patricians and the Dumbar family. It was a place of publishing, thinking, and writing. This history is palpable within the walls. In the large hall, one gazes upward at a painted dome featuring ornamental motifs, a sky scene, and birds that seem to move in the daylight. Rococo style chimneys and mantelpieces serve as silent witnesses to bygone eras. The rooms and doors are richly adorned with wood carvings. This is not a stage set, but authentic heritage.
The layout of the house is generous and layered. In the souterrain, one finds a hall, a kitchen, several storage rooms, technical spaces housing the central heating boiler, and an impressive storage area situated beneath the property. The ground floor offers an entrance, a room with access to a storage area, a living room en suite, the monumental hall, a large opkamer on the mezzanine level, a hallway, and a toilet. Multiple rooms provide access to the fully enclosed garden. Here, one can enjoy more than 500 square meters of private outdoor space right in the historic center. It is a rare quiet spot where one sits sheltered, surrounded by monumental walls. In the evenings, one can enjoy a glass of wine while the city breathes around them. At the rear of the garden stands a carriage house featuring double doors and an upper floor. The garden is easily accessible and exitable by car via a gate at the rear. Thanks to various zoning possibilities, this property is suitable for living, working, or a combination thereof. The scale and setup offer the freedom to implement it according to one's own vision.
The impression continues layer by layer. On the first floor, a private domain unfolds with five bedrooms and a bathroom. High ceilings, deep window niches, and characterful details make every room unique. Residents wake up here with a view of the city, while the history lives on in the walls below that have borne generations. The second floor features an additional bedroom and a bathroom with a toilet. Above that awaits an enormous attic with standing height throughout, divided into various storage and storage spaces. The space is so generous that five or six extra rooms can easily be realized here. An atelier, guest accommodation, a library, a studio, or extra living space for a large family, it is all possible here. This house grows with the ambitions of its inhabitants.
The location is unique. This monumental building is situated on one of the most beautiful and characteristic squares in the city center of Deventer. One lives opposite the city library and a stone throw away from the charming Lebuinus Church and the Mimik film theater. Culture, history, gastronomy, and shops are literally at one feet. Simultaneously, one own enclosed garden offers rest and privacy. Stromarkt 8 is not just a house, but a position. A statement. An opportunity that rarely presents itself.
