Key Features
Description
Welcome to Umefors 8, an exceptional detached villa located in the prestigious Sveafors neighborhood of Schiedam. This property represents a unique combination of Scandinavian-inspired architecture, modern luxury, and a distinctive living experience directly on the water. The residence is constructed as a solid stone building with concrete floors and features an exterior finished with impregnated wooden cladding, creating a warm and timeless appearance that characterizes the entire Sveafors development.
The location of this villa is particularly noteworthy. The entrance is situated on a green roundabout, set at a generous distance from the opposing detached homes. This positioning provides a high degree of freedom of movement in a quiet, cul-de-sac street, offering maximum privacy and a safe, child-friendly environment. Despite this tranquil setting, major roads, public transportation, schools, daycare facilities, and shopping amenities are all within close proximity. The Midden-Delfland nature area lies literally around the corner, providing an ideal setting for walkers, cyclists, and nature enthusiasts.
Sveafors is recognized for its thoughtful urban planning with green avenues, walking paths, and harmonious Scandinavian-inspired architecture. The combination of wooden accents, masonry, and generous roof overhangs gives the district a warm and enduring character. Residents benefit from nearby facilities including several primary schools, public transport options such as tram and bus services, and the Hof van Spaland shopping center which houses a variety of shops including Albert Heijn and Lidl, as well as restaurants and a library. A Gamma hardware store is less than five minutes away by car. The metro stations Schiedam Centrum and Schiedam Nieuwland are easily accessible by bicycle, providing connections to Rotterdam Centrum and Hoek van Holland Beach. Through the adjacent park, the historic center of Schiedam can be reached by bicycle in approximately ten minutes, offering the world's tallest windmills, extensive hospitality and retail options, and various cultural facilities including a theater with 800 seats, a film house, the central library, and several museums.
This spacious villa stands on 279 square meters of private land and features a carefully landscaped garden surrounding the property, with a southern orientation and unobstructed views over the water. The front garden includes a spacious private driveway and access to the storage building, while the rear garden forms an oasis of tranquility with a stylish canopy, clean tile work, and high-quality finishing. A significant portion of the garden surface is paved with natural stone tiles. The entire garden was redesigned in 2023.
The ground floor layout begins with an entrance through the well-maintained front garden, leading to a hallway with a meter cupboard and a modern toilet that was renovated in 2020. The former garage was transformed in 2023 into a fully functional work, sleeping, or sports room, complete with its own entrance. Additionally, there is a separate space with preparations for a second bathroom, which would be ideal for age-appropriate living or as a guest accommodation.
At the front of the property is the stylish Siematic kitchen in a U-shaped configuration, finished in satin gloss white with black accents and a luxurious granite worktop. The kitchen is equipped with all desired built-in appliances, including a Quooker boiling water tap, dishwasher, combination oven, and ceramic cooktop.
The spacious living room with its extension is a notable feature of this home. Thanks to the large windows and French doors, there is excellent natural light and a direct connection to the garden. The combination of floor heating, a light tile floor, smooth plasterwork, and an atmospheric gas fireplace that was renewed in 2023 creates a luxurious and warm ambiance.
The first floor offers comfort and space for the entire family. The generous landing provides access to three spacious bedrooms and the modern bathroom. The master bedroom at the front, which was previously two separate rooms, extends across the full width of the property, providing a comfortable and serene place to rest. At the rear are two well-proportioned bedrooms with a beautiful free view and access to the enlarged roof terrace. This roof terrace is a pleasant, sunny spot where one can enjoy the unobstructed view over the water in complete privacy.
The bathroom, renovated in 2020, is modern, complete, and finished to a high standard, featuring a spacious walk-in shower, double vanity unit, second toilet, and natural daylight.
An attic space accessible via a pull-down ladder provides ideal storage for seasonal items.
This property is not only stylish but also particularly energy-efficient and future-oriented. It holds an A+ energy label and is equipped with 24 AEG solar panels installed in 2022. The property features full insulation including wall, roof, and floor insulation, as well as HR++ glazing. An electric vehicle charging station with a three-phase connection is present. Floor heating is installed on the ground floor, and two rooms are equipped with air conditioning.
