Characteristic 1930 Villa in Protected Trompenberg District

Situated in the prestigious and historically protected residential area known as Trompenberg in Hilversum, this detached villa represents a fine example of early twentieth century architecture. The property was designed in 1930 by architect P. Verschuyl and has been maintained in very good condition over the years. The villa sits on a generous plot measuring 1,395 square metres, providing ample outdoor space and privacy for its occupants.

The location of this property is particularly advantageous. The Trompenberg villa district is positioned between the Coversbos and Spanderswoud, two beautiful wooded areas that contribute to a very green and natural living environment. Despite this peaceful setting, the property offers excellent connectivity. The main roads leading to the A1 and A2 motorways are easily accessible. A primary school can be found within walking distance, while various secondary schools, including the International School Hilversum, are nearby. Hilversum railway station and the town centre are both reachable by bicycle in approximately five to ten minutes.

The villa has a total living area of 275 square metres, distributed across three floors. In addition to the main living spaces, there is a full height cellar of 16 square metres, a balcony of 6 square metres, and a detached garage of 20 square metres. The total volume of the building is 1,085 cubic metres.

The ground floor layout begins with an entrance and vestibule leading to a spacious hall. From the hall, one can access the stand height basement, a toilet with washbasin, the living and dining room en suite, and a study. The living room features a fireplace and a distinctive rounded bay window, while the en suite sliding doors connect it to the dining area. The dining room has French doors opening to a TV room as well as to the south facing rear garden. From the dining room, there is also access to the fully equipped kitchen, which benefits from underfloor heating and includes an electric built in fireplace.

A notable feature of the ground floor is the original oak herringbone parquet flooring that has been preserved, adding character and period authenticity to the living spaces.

The first floor is reached via an attractive staircase with a landing. This level contains four bedrooms in total. Three of these are spacious rooms with built in wardrobes. The fourth bedroom, which serves as the main bedroom, is also spacious and includes both a built in wardrobe and access to a balcony. The first floor bathroom is well appointed with a walk in shower, double washbasin, toilet, and underfloor heating.

The second floor is accessed by a fixed staircase and currently comprises a very spacious fifth bedroom. This room features built in wardrobes, multiple dormer windows, and air conditioning. The listing notes that this space could potentially be divided to create two separate bedrooms. A second complete bathroom on this level includes a bath, walk in shower, washbasin, toilet, and underfloor heating.

The property benefits from several practical features and recent improvements. The roof was renewed in 2005. The sewer system was completely replaced up to the main connection in 2024. Exterior painting has been maintained on an annual basis to preserve the condition of the property.

Energy efficiency measures include twelve solar panels positioned on the south east side of the roof, HR+ glazing on the ground floor, and double glazing on the first and second floors. The current energy label is rated E. Heating is provided by a HR Topline Aqua Power 45cw6 gas fired combination boiler from 2011, supplemented by the open fireplace and partial underfloor heating. Hot water is supplied by an electric boiler.

Security features include an alarm system. The property also has a private water source for garden irrigation, which is a practical benefit for maintaining the extensive garden.

The outdoor spaces are a significant feature of this property. The driveway provides parking space for multiple vehicles. In addition to the detached garage, there is an adjacent lockable carport, offering covered parking for up to two cars in total. The rear garden is described as wonderfully deep, south facing, sunny, and very private, with multiple terraces providing various spots for outdoor relaxation and entertainment.

The Trompenberg district holds special status as a protected townscape, which helps preserve the character and quality of the neighbourhood for future generations. This designation reflects the architectural and historical significance of the area.

With five bedrooms and two full bathrooms, this villa offers ample space for a family. The combination of original period details, such as the herringbone parquet and the architectural design by P. Verschuyl, together with modern amenities like air conditioning, solar panels, and updated systems, creates a home that bridges past and present.

The property is offered at an asking price of 2,295,000 euros, which is equivalent to approximately 8,345 euros per square metre of living space. The transfer costs are to be paid by the buyer. The acceptance date and terms are to be negotiated. The property is available and the listing is currently active on the Funda platform.

This villa represents a rare opportunity to acquire a characterful family home in one of Hilversum most desirable residential areas, combining historical charm with practical modern living in a sought after green location.
