INTRODUCTION
Upon entering the completely shielded plot, one is immediately impressed by the symmetrical facade in classicist architectural style. Above it are four sleek chimneys with decorative caps on the corners of the gables combined with zinc oculus skylights in the roof.
The current owners would like to move to sunny climates abroad in the future. Therefore, they are offering their luxurious Hertroijs family villa to the next family, who can also make their most beautiful memories here.
In furnishing the villa, only the very best building materials have been consistently applied. There have been no compromises on comfort and luxury. Optimal daylight and long, beautiful sightlines play an unmistakable role in this atmospheric whole.
Thanks in part to the natural stone staircases, the impressively high doors in identical style and wood, the seamless oak whitewash floors, and the many, many high windows, the whole is stylish and yet homely. Space is grand and thoughtfully arranged throughout the villa.
SUSTAINABILITY
The villa has a definitive energy label A. Sustainable building materials were used during construction, as well as optimal insulation material and HR++ insulated glass. In combination with underfloor heating, the villa therefore has a consistently pleasant indoor climate. The outdoor swimming pool is equipped with a heat pump and a solar cover.
GROUND FLOOR
The villa is accessible via both the double electric wooden gates to the beautiful driveway and via the wooden pedestrian gate in the fence and hedges towards the front door. Both are set in classic brick pillars and equipped with a videophone system and remote control.
The wide driveway in decorative paving offers ample parking space on private property and leads past the classic front garden to the double garage with pyramidal roof and the elevated platform with the side entrance near the kitchen. The driveway is surrounded by mature greenery, including a beautiful tulip tree.
The stately, double front door with frame is accessible via the paved path through the front garden. The symmetrical entranceway with double hardwood front door opens to the impressive entrance hall, with a natural stone staircase to the first floor and built-in floor-to-ceiling cloakroom closets.
The high hall with halogen ceiling spotlights has a luxurious guest toilet with vanity unit, a meter cupboard, and double floor-to-ceiling doors to the living area. Under the natural stone tiled floor is underfloor heating. The central hall opens with double wooden doors to the living wing with practically seamless laid whitewash oak parquet flooring (partially Hungarian herringbone pattern) combined with natural stone floor tiles.
Straight ahead is the dining room, partly separated by half-open walls. The high windows and panoramic window offer beautiful views of the terrace and park-like garden.
On either side of the entrance hall are two spacious living rooms. The bright living room on the right has designer built-in lighting, three double patio doors, and many large windows, for beautiful views and optimal daylight. This living room has several bay windows plus an open wood-burning fireplace for cozy evenings. The patio doors open to the long, rectangular, and sleek pond.
On the other side of the entrance hall is the second living room, which is extremely suitable as a playroom, television room, and cinema room. This 2nd living room has a large, electric screen and custom-built-in closets for this purpose. This living room also has magnificent light and views thanks to the many large windows.
Beyond the half-open dining room is the spacious and luxurious living kitchen where a professional chef feels at home. The dining room and living kitchen are partly separated and connected by the two-sided open tunnel gas fireplace.
Around the kitchen are also many high windows for plenty of daylight and a cozy view of the garden. In the spacious bay window on the left, there is plenty of room for the large family table, for breakfast, lunch, and dinner together. This living kitchen is equipped with all luxury conveniences and has high-quality built-in appliances and composite countertops.
In the center of the living kitchen stands the large island with two sinks with rinsing tap and dishwasher. Under the extra-wide extractor hood with halogen spots, the robust Solitaire Professional gas-electric stove with four gas burners, two electric ovens, and teppanyaki grill plate is displayed. On the other side of the large kitchen island is the breakfast, coffee, and drinks bar with accompanying bar stools.
Next to the kitchen island is the large cupboard wall with plenty of cupboard space and the American fridge-freezer with ice maker. The Imperial high-pressure steam oven, Imperial combi oven, and warming drawer are integrated into this wall. All cupboard doors are in the same wood type as the high room doors.
By the high windows to the garden is a quiet study, again with double and high doors. This room has air conditioning, two double wall closets, and floor-to-ceiling windows in the side and rear facade that provide inspiring views of the garden.
Directly next to this office space, which is also suitable as a play and homework room, is the descending natural stone staircase to the grand, lower-level basement.
At the large bay window in the living kitchen is the double and room-high door to the vestibule. There is the second natural stone staircase to the first floor. On the left is the door leading to the elevated courtyard at the driveway and the double garage. Next to it is the 2nd toilet on the ground floor.
Around the corner in the vestibule is the semi-open and lowered utility and laundry room. This has built-in laundry equipment connections, a custom-made sink unit with sink, and plenty of cupboard space. The two round windows overlooking the driveway are striking. On the left is the access door to the indoor double garage with attic.
FIRST FLOOR
This floor is accessible via both the beautiful natural stone staircase in the entrance hall and via the natural stone staircase in the vestibule near the living kitchen. The wide landing with plenty of windows spans two wings. The entire floor has air conditioning, halogen built-in lighting, and seamless whitewash oak parquet flooring (partially Hungarian herringbone pattern).
The left wing is for the children. They have four bedrooms and their own bathroom there.
Bedroom 1 has two large windows in the side and rear facade, plus a wall closet. Next to it is (children's) bathroom 1 with double vanity unit and behind the partition wall on either side, a floating toilet and the walk-in shower with rain shower. The whole is equipped with underfloor heating and mechanical ventilation.
Bedroom 2 is on the other side of the second staircase. This room also has a wall closet and a charming oculus window in the plastered niche above the double patio doors to the private balcony on the east.
Next to it is Bedroom 3, which again has two large windows in the front and side facade. At the end of the wide landing is spacious Bedroom 4, with windows in the front and side facade.
In the corner of the landing near this room is the hatch with loft ladder to the large attic. Opposite is a spacious built-in closet.
Immediately to the right of the staircase from the entrance hall is the luxurious and spacious master suite located at the front of the villa.
This grand master bedroom 5 has French doors to the private balcony above the entranceway. Opposite is the atmospheric gas fireplace. To the right is a 2nd balcony with French doors, above the bay window of the living room, which offers beautiful views to the west over the garden and pond. On either side of that are two large walk-in closet rooms with custom-built closets.
The double doors next to the gas fireplace lead to the spacious bathroom 2. This is extremely luxurious with a freestanding designer bathtub under the large windows, the spacious walk-in shower with rain shower, and a floating toilet in the niche on the left. On either side of the double doors are two designer washbasins on wall cabinets. This bathroom also has underfloor heating and mechanical ventilation.
SECOND FLOOR
The large attic is accessible via the hatch with the loft ladder in the corner of the landing near Bedroom 4. There, the central heating boiler (Vaillant VHR 2018) and two electric 120-liter boilers for hot water are installed. The attic has plenty of storage space under the sloping roof all around and at standing height.
BASEMENT
The spacious basement of approximately 140 m² can be reached via the natural stone staircase between the living kitchen and the study. The stairwell optically divides the largest open space below into two parts. Beyond the wall is the multifunctional or relaxation room, with mirror wall and custom interior closet wall. This space is ideal for, for example, a private bar, home cinema, game room, or chill space for young people. On the other side of the stairs is a wide corridor. Alongside are the recently renewed kitchenette, the Turkish steam bath with shower, and the luxurious 5th toilet.
Beyond the kitchenette in the basement, there is another large space with four integrated custom corner closets with double doors for plenty of storage space. This space is currently used as a home gym for the whole family. The possibilities are numerous, such as a wine and tasting cellar, for example. The patio doors on the other side of the corridor provide access to the sunken outdoor terrace with guaranteed 100% privacy; the ideal place for a jacuzzi, for example. The walls have recently been re-clad with wood. This terrace is connected to the rear garden and the outdoor swimming pool via the natural stone outdoor staircase with stainless steel railing.
DOUBLE GARAGE WITH ATTIC
On the left side of the grand plot is the double indoor garage. This is built in cavity wall construction, fully insulated, and equipped with a tiled floor with underfloor heating and double, separately operable electric sectional doors.
The garage has a window in the side facade and opposite it, a pedestrian door to the side garden. On the right is the access door to the utility room in the villa with adjoining vestibule to the living kitchen.
In style and architecture, the double garage seamlessly matches the villa. This allows for an extra attic space under the pyramidal roof, with plenty of storage space under the sloping roof and at standing height.
LOCATION AND VIEW
The Koekoeksbos villa district is located next to the Wilhelminakanaal, within easy cycling and walking distance of the center of Best and the railway station. Meeslaan itself is a dead-end street and is therefore particularly low in traffic.
