Villa Wassenaar

FAMILY HOME FINISHED TO A VERY HIGH STANDARD IN A CHILD-FRIENDLY LOCATION.

This move-in ready, detached villa (373 m²) was renovated from top to bottom in 2014, remodelled inside and finished with the best materials. Characteristic 1930s features such as large eaves and dormer and bay windows have been retained and combined with all the modern luxury and comfort you could want. The house has 7 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a beautiful garden and a fully equipped guesthouse 33 m² in size. You won’t find a better family home with this level of quality anytime soon.

The house is situated at the end of the child-friendly Bloemcampbuurt in the south of Wassenaar, just across the road from the forest of the Stoephout estate. The location is within walking distance of Bloemcampschool and the Wittenburg estate. It is a beautiful location within easy reach of various sports clubs, public transport, the American School, Rijnlands Lyceum with its international school, Wassenaar beach and only 20 minutes by car from Schiphol Airport, 30 minutes from Amsterdam and 15 minutes from the centre of The Hague. Benoordenhout (with several schools) is less than 15 minutes away by bicycle.

EVERYTHING IN THIS VILLA IS OF HIGH QUALITY

A covered entrance leads into a porch with original marble flooring and panelling and a made-to-measure wardrobe. The porch then leads into the spacious, L-shaped hall. What immediately stands out is the sleek high-gloss paintwork on all the doors and windows, the stunning stairwell and the beautiful, oak wood parquet floor. From the hallway, you can access the interconnected rooms, the side room and toilet. The eat-in kitchen is accessed from the interconnected rooms at the rear.

The interconnected rooms are stylish and welcoming. Together with the side room and conservatory, there is ample living space (88m²) for the whole family to get together and still have plenty of room to do their own thing. The oak herringbone floor is fitted with underfloor heating; the walls have a smooth plaster finish; the high ceilings have retained their original decorative plasterwork; the separation between the interconnecting rooms is original, and the bay window and wood-fired open fireplace give it extra character. Sliding doors from the conservatory provide access to the terrace and back garden. The rear room has sliding doors that open up to the eat-in kitchen.

The eat-in kitchen has luxurious Bulthaup handless cabinetry and every quality appliance you can imagine (steam oven, oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, freezer, Quooker). There are 4 wok burners on the stainless steel worktop. It also has an island with a cosy bar. A separate coffee corner has its own sink and an extra Quooker. A seating area and open fireplace complete the whole picture. This is where you will spend a lot of time together with your family. Stairs take you from the kitchen to the basement.

AN IDEAL FAMILY HOME

The spacious, first-floor landing is reached via an impressive split-level staircase from the hall. This runs along 3 distinctive windows, making it wonderfully well lit. On this floor, you’ll find the master suite with its en-suite bathroom and 2 bedrooms that share another bathroom. All the bedrooms have oak parquet floors.

The master suite is generous in size (approximately 53 m²). You walk into this private area past a fitted wall-mounted wardrobe. You will then find the master bedroom on your right, the bathroom on your left and a study to the rear. The master bedroom and study have sliding doors that open up to a large balcony. The master bedroom has windows on two sides and leads to a spacious walk-in closet. The deluxe en-suite bathroom comes with an extra-wide Philip Stark jacuzzi bath, a walk-in shower, a double vanity unit, Dornbracht taps throughout, and a toilet. The natural light and the underfloor heating are a real treat. You can work in peace in the spacious study which has a lovely view overlooking the garden.

The bedroom at the front of the house (nearly 22 m²) has sliding doors to a private balcony and a wall of built-in cupboards. The 3rd bedroom (approximately 12 m²) also has a made-to-measure cupboard.

The 2nd bathroom features a walk-in shower, a double vanity unit, a made-to-measure cupboard and a wall hung toilet. This bathroom is finished to the same high standard as the first. This also has space to install your washing machine and dryer here. The room is flooded with natural light thanks to the 3 large windows.

YOU CAN ENJOY THIS PLACE RIGHT FROM THE START

The staircase takes you to the second-floor landing. This floor has 3 bedrooms, a bathroom and a spacious ironing room/storage space.

All 3 bedrooms are of excellent proportions (23 m², 17 m² and 22 m² respectively). They all have dormer windows and cosy corners. Two bedrooms share a balcony. All the bedrooms have oak parquet floors.

The spacious, third bathroom has a walk-in shower, a double vanity unit and a wall hung toilet.

The ironing room/storage space is a practical space. This is another place where you can install your washing machine and dryer.

A loft ladder takes you to the attic which has lots of storage space.

A wine cellar, pantry and multi-functional room are located in the basement. The external walls have been sealed so it is completely dry.

In addition to the villa, there is also a fully insulated garden house containing a guesthouse/office space and storage area. The guesthouse/office is finished to a high standard with fitted cupboards, a cosy fireplace, pantry, bathroom and its own central heating and also has double sliding doors to the garden. This could be a wonderful place for your children to hang out.

LONG EVENINGS OUTSIDE WITH FRIENDS AND FAMILY

The garden around the house has been completely landscaped by the current owners, has been lovingly maintained and is a real work of art! The borders are full of lush plants; the pergolas with climbing plants provide shade; the various terraces offer places to enjoy peace and quiet or company at different times of the day; the stylish cobbled paths provide a clear route. Strategically planted hedges provide privacy in the different areas of the garden. This has created separate spaces for the outdoor jacuzzi, the trampoline, a play area and fitness gear, the vegetable garden and a chicken coop. There is also plenty of ‘open space’ to play in.

The terrace adjacent to the house has an electrically operated awning and a heater. You can relax here most of the year. The sprinkler system with its own water source and automatic pump makes maintenance easy.

You can park several cars on your own property in front of the house. There is a large, covered area for bikes.
