Thatched Villa with Free Views in Laren's Golden Triangle

Located on Wally Moesweg in Laren, this property occupies one of the most enchanting positions within the renowned Gouden Driehoek (Golden Triangle) of the Gooi region. This perfectly maintained thatched half of a double villa offers a rare combination of a protected village setting with free views across sheep meadows at both the front and rear of the property, while being within walking distance of the vibrant Brink with its terraces, boutiques and galleries.

The villa was completely rebuilt in 2008 and 2009 using high-quality materials, resulting in a warm and stylish family home with generous proportions and refined finishes. The original construction year is listed as 1921, reflecting the historical context of the property within this protected village landscape. The area has a rich artistic heritage, having been home to painters such as Anton Mauve, Albert Neuhuys and Wally Moes, who captured the Goois landscape in their work.

The ground floor features a stylish entrance hall with wardrobe, a closet under the stairs and a guest toilet. This leads to the generous L-shaped living room, where a gas fireplace, a sunny bay window and a beautiful oak floor create a warm and inviting atmosphere. Large windows allow abundant natural light to enter the space. Situated on the garden side is the spacious living kitchen which serves as the heart of the home. With sliding doors opening to the terrace, indoor and outdoor living flow seamlessly together. The modern Gaggenau kitchen is fully equipped. The entire ground floor has comfortable underfloor heating.

The basement functions as a full living level that surprises with its space and possibilities. Thanks to the ceiling height and daylight access, this level feels like a genuine additional living floor. It contains a spacious bedroom with built-in closets, a modern bathroom with bathtub, walk-in shower and double sink, a separate toilet and a second very spacious room with versatile options such as an additional bedroom, workspace or playroom. Also located on this level are the practical laundry room, the boiler room and additional storage space. This level also features underfloor heating.

The first floor has a light landing with oak parquet flooring providing access to the master bedroom with built-in closets. The spacious bathroom is equipped with a bathtub, walk-in shower and double sink. There is a separate toilet. The second spacious bedroom, also with built-in closets, offers a breathtaking view over the characteristic meadows. This room could potentially be divided into two rooms with limited modifications.

The second floor provides an additional playful bedroom with practical storage space, ideal for children, guests or hobbies.

A charming detached thatched outbuilding complements the main residence. This ancillary building features a kitchen unit, toilet, its own central heating installation and comfortable underfloor heating, making it fully self-contained. The current layout includes a stylish air-conditioned wine room. With relatively simple adjustments, this outbuilding could transform into a full guest accommodation, au pair residence or home office. Previously it has successfully served as an au pair dwelling, underscoring its versatility. At the front there is a practical storage space for bicycles and garden tools.

The outdoor living experience is of exceptional quality. The spacious covered terrace with an open fireplace forms an extension of the outbuilding and provides an ideal setting for long, atmospheric evenings. The attractively landscaped garden offers optimal privacy and a green, serene ambiance. The front features a well-maintained front garden with parking on the property and an electric access gate.

The property has an energy label A, with insulation comprising roof insulation, double glazing, wall insulation and floor insulation. Heating is provided by a Nefit gas-fired combi boiler from 2012, which is owned, supplemented by partial underfloor heating. There is a mechanical ventilation system. The property is fully secured with an alarm system covering both burglary and fire. A computer-controlled irrigation system maintains the garden.

With a living area of 263 square metres, a plot of 485 square metres and a volume of 961 cubic metres, this villa in Laren-Centrum represents a substantial family home in a sought-after location combining character, comfort and an exceptional setting.
