Description
Located in the leafy villa district of Soestduinen, this modern half of a double villa offers a unique combination of tranquil woodland living with excellent connectivity to major cities in the heart of the Netherlands. The property is situated along a picturesque, tree-lined lane directly adjacent to the Soester Duinen nature reserve, an area of outstanding natural beauty that has been designated as a geological monument. This extensive woodland area provides residents with immediate access to walking, cycling, and jogging routes right from their doorstep.
The original villa dates back to 1977, but over the years it has been significantly extended and modernized to meet contemporary living standards. A substantial extension at the rear added a spacious open-plan kitchen and conservatory area, while the interior has been recently updated throughout. The result is a property that retains the character and generous proportions of its era while offering all the conveniences expected of modern family living.
The accommodation is arranged over three levels, beginning with the souterrain. This lower level houses a double garage with two recently replaced insulated and electrically operated doors. Adjacent to the garage is a separate storage room and a dedicated laundry area. A sauna provides a welcome retreat for relaxation. At the rear of the souterrain, a multifunctional room offers flexibility as a home office, additional bedroom, or creative studio. The listing notes that the living area could be expanded by incorporating the double garage into the main living space if desired.
The ground floor comprises the main living areas. The entrance hall includes a guest toilet and a cloakroom. The living room is generously proportioned and features a built-in wood-burning fireplace that creates a focal point for the space. A closed staircase provides access to both the upper floor and the souterrain. At the rear of the property, a luxury newly installed kitchen has been fitted with high-end built-in appliances. This kitchen flows seamlessly into a bright dining area within the conservatory. Wide sliding doors and an additional side door open onto the sunny terrace in the rear garden, creating a natural transition between indoor and outdoor living.
The first floor contains four bedrooms and two bathrooms. The landing benefits from a large electric roof window that ensures excellent natural daylight throughout the upper level. The main bathroom is well-appointed with a combined bath and shower, a double vanity unit, and a toilet. The master bedroom enjoys the convenience of a private en-suite bathroom equipped with a walk-in shower, a vanity basin, and a designer radiator. Both bathrooms feature electric roof windows for additional light and ventilation.
The outdoor spaces have been thoughtfully designed to complement the woodland setting. The garden incorporates subtle changes in level and maintains a natural, bosque-like character consistent with the surrounding landscape. The private rear garden faces south, ensuring maximum exposure to sunlight throughout the day. A terrace provides an ideal spot for outdoor dining or relaxation.
Energy efficiency has been a clear priority in the property's modernization. The home holds an A energy label, reflecting comprehensive insulation measures including roof insulation, wall insulation, floor insulation, and high-performance glazing. Solar panels have been installed on the flat roof, which was recently replaced and additionally insulated. An electric vehicle charging point has been installed, catering to the growing demand for sustainable transport options. Heating is provided by a Remeha Quinta 30S gas combination boiler dating from 2006, supplemented by a wood-burning fireplace and partial underfloor heating. Hot water is supplied through both the combination boiler and an electric boiler.
