Year built: 2003 | Living area: 259 m² | Lot size: 804 m² and approximately 298 m² of water (= ownership share in a jointly owned parcel)

Ground Floor
The entrance hall offers a direct view of the stairwell, featuring an oak staircase in an open atrium, which creates a spacious and airy atmosphere. The hall includes a luxurious marble-finished powder room, a spacious utility closet, and a comfortable home office with a custom-made desk, cabinets, and a continuous wall shelf with integrated recessed lighting.

The living room is bright and spacious thanks to the large windows and French doors leading to the garden. Four distinctive stained-glass doors give the space a refined and stylish look.
During construction, the ground floor was extended by two meters across its full width, resulting in an exceptionally comfortable and spacious living environment. The living room features a stylish fireplace with a gas insert and a high-quality stucco ceiling adorned with decorative moldings, a picture rail, and integrated recessed spotlights.

The kitchen is a high-quality Siematic kitchen, configured in a U-shape with a natural stone countertop, Siemens built-in appliances including an induction cooktop, oven, and dishwasher, and a Quooker. The kitchen windows and doors are equipped with electric sun-blocking screens. The ceiling is finished with a subtle light cove, which adds extra ambiance and a sense of spaciousness. The kitchen offers direct access to the garden and the water.

The entire ground floor features continuous travertine marble flooring with underfloor heating, creating a comfortable and luxurious atmosphere. From the kitchen, you can access the extra-large indoor garage, which can also serve perfectly as a utility room or workspace. It is heated and features an electrically operated, insulated garage door with a separate walk-through door and direct access to the garden. There is also a water softening system with a booster pump, which contributes to extra comfort, constant water pressure, and reduced limescale buildup.

On-site parking is available for multiple cars, including a charging station that can be controlled via an app and efficiently utilizes the energy generated by the solar panels. The home is also equipped with a professional alarm system featuring glass break detection and security on doors and windows.

First Floor
The landing provides access to the rooms. The master bedroom is generously sized and furnished as a comfortable private suite with a spacious walk-in closet. The ceiling features high-quality plasterwork and a continuous cove lighting system, into which an electric projection screen is subtly integrated. The preparations for a high-end audiovisual setup have been carefully and discreetly incorporated. Air conditioning with a heat pump function ensures optimal comfort year-round. The second bedroom is spacious and features two Velux skylights and storage space. The third room, currently used as a gym, also has air conditioning and is ideally suited as a bedroom, home office, or hobby room. The modern bathroom features a bathtub, a spacious walk-in shower with a glass door, and a stylish vanity unit with a double sink and illuminated mirror. The floor also includes a separate toilet.

2nd Floor
The second floor features a spacious fourth room with two skylights and air conditioning with a heat pump function. The room is finished with whitewashed wood flooring and is ideal as a bedroom or workspace. There is also a utility room with a skylight, set up as a laundry room with ample space for washing, drying, and ironing.

Garden
The garden serves as a natural extension of the home and was entirely designed and landscaped by landscape architect Martin Veltkamp. The layout, featuring multiple terraces, ensures that there is a pleasant spot in the sun or shade at any time of day. The garden is characterized by mature plants and various types of trees, providing privacy and a lush, inviting atmosphere. The garden is equipped with an integrated Rainbird irrigation system.

The villa is situated on a corner by the waterway, creating a sense of openness and freedom. The combination of water, vegetation, and carefully placed lighting makes the garden particularly atmospheric in the evening. Recessed spotlights have been installed around the house and in the outdoor alcove to subtly accentuate the entire space.

The private island is accessible via a high-quality hardwood bridge made of Haasnoot and forms a unique spot on the water. The island is also attractively lit and contributes to the exclusive ambiance.
At the rear of the garden, directly adjacent to the garage, there is an 8-meter-wide dock, ideal for a small boat, with direct access to various Dutch waterways. The garden also features a veranda with heaters and electrically operated screens, allowing you to comfortably enjoy the outdoors all season long.

Sustainability
The villa is well-insulated, equipped with 25 solar panels, and features a heat recovery ventilation system, ensuring a healthy and comfortable indoor climate.
Energy efficiency rating: A.
