GROUND FLOOR
The double aluminum front doors with engraved wheat motif in the double decorative glass provide access to the high entrance hall with vide. In this hall are the meter cupboard and the doors to the parental suite and the living room. Both the hall, kitchen, and living room have a marble floor with underfloor heating.
To the right in the hall is the parental suite. This consists of a spacious bedroom 1, overlooking the front garden, a separate toilet, and adjoining luxury bathroom 1. The bedroom has two large windows with blackout shutters and a built-in wardrobe. The bathroom has a recently renovated vanity unit with two sinks and a wide mirror, a semi-circular shower cubicle with side sprays, and a double corner bath with massage jets and waterfall tap. The whole is equipped with mechanical ventilation and a towel radiator.
Classic, double wooden doors with engraved decorative glass lead to the grand living room. Towards the kitchen, there is plenty of space for a large dining table, next to the floor-to-ceiling windows at the rear. Next to it is the wide sliding door to the covered terrace and the back garden.
The living room itself has a spacious and remarkably bright sitting area thanks to three ceiling-high windows with curtain pelmets behind the decorative moldings. The cast iron wood stove provides cozy evenings with pleasant radiant heat. The fireplace, the pillars on either side, and next to the passage to the conservatory, are finished with beautiful mother-of-pearl paint for a light and classic style that seamlessly matches the marble floor and the ceiling moldings.
At the generous dining area in the living room, there is the door to the kitchen. The L-shaped layout is executed in a light and classic style with a composite worktop, Italian subway tiles, and a double sink. The cream tones of the kitchen cabinets are reflected in the entire SMEG equipment. All equipment has been renewed from this leading lifestyle brand: induction hob with large grill oven, warming drawer, and retractable extraction, dishwasher and combi oven, refrigerator, freezer, and even the mixer tap. The kitchen has its own door to the covered, semi-circular terrace outside and the door to the portal with the entrance area at the back.
Through the portal with generous guest toilet and washbasin, there is access to the former indoor garage that has been converted into a cozy TV/play/game room. This spacious room has its own entrance in the side facade of the villa. The floor is covered with oak wooden floorboards, and there is a gas fireplace with mantelpiece. The side wall is equipped with a custom-made bookcase with shelves.
FIRST FLOOR
Through the open oak staircase with vide and balustrade in the entrance hall, the landing is accessible with access to three spacious bedrooms and the second luxurious bathroom.
Bedroom 2 is spacious, measuring over forty square meters. The room features air conditioning, three dormer windows, and a sliding door to its own balcony with balustrade and Bankirai flooring, which offers a beautiful view over the gardens at the rear facing west.
Bathroom 2 is also equipped with a dormer window. The interior includes a bathtub with hand shower and thermostatic mixer tap, a shower cabin with thermostatic mixer tap, two washbasins with mirrored cabinet, and a floating toilet. There is underfloor heating and a towel radiator.
Originally, Bedroom 3 was a large room of over seventy square meters with three dormer windows. The space is now practically divided into a laundry and wardrobe room with shelves, coat racks, and connections for laundry appliances on one side, and a chill-out room on the other.
A clever mirror-sliding wall leads to the second part, now a warm and relaxed library and reading room, with a wooden panel floor, large sanded leather corner bed sofa, and plenty of storage space in the custom-made wooden shelving unit made of sanded and stained scaffold wood. If desired, this spacious room can be turned into a studio apartment, including a kitchenette.
Bedroom 4 is located at the front and has two dormer windows. In this room, there is a hatch with a loft ladder to the walkable attic with standing height.
BASEMENT
Through the TV room and the fixed descending wooden staircase with carpet runner, the basement is accessible. This basement floor is entirely dedicated to relaxation and coziness: the place for family gatherings, children and their friends, parties, and events.
The staircase leads to the first room. Inside, an authentic Mini Cooper has been converted into a gaming desk and office with a desk, there is storage space under the hood and behind the trunk lid.
The large entertainment and relaxation room adjoining in an L-shape offers numerous possibilities. The space is entirely furnished in a '50s-style, with dining furniture and checkered floor covering. In addition to the pool table, the room has seating areas and a CD jukebox; everything is available for many cozy evenings.
The wine and tasting cellar in Mediterranean style has a bar cabinet, wall cabinets, and fixed Spanish terracotta wine racks. The beautiful wall paintings of Mediterranean landscapes are from the same skilled hand as in the swimming pool.
SURROUNDING GARDENS AND OUTDOOR SPACE
The double electric wrought iron gates on Molenstraat open to the beautiful and illuminated driveway paved with decorative bricks. Through the trees, the magnificent large pond with fountain can already be seen, surrounded by planting. The driveway leads to a large courtyard with plenty of parking and play space. This courtyard provides access to the annex or business hall and the paved paths to the front door, side door, and back door.
The mature front, back, and side gardens are beautifully landscaped by design. Due to a special mix of plants, shrubs, and trees, this green domain is equally beautiful in all four seasons. The sightlines from various angles combined with the landmark trees all around and the mature hedges, lawns, and ponds make this garden a feast for the eyes and more than delightful to spend time in. This is also the opinion of the numerous birds and squirrels that like to nest and live there.
The backyard faces southwest. It is enclosed with natural hedges and trees that provide 100% privacy. All paving is a beautiful combination of large tiles and bricks.
Next to the living room and kitchen is a large, semi-circular, and covered terrace. Next to it is the large pond with a round wooden terrace in the clear, healthy water where many koi and sturgeon swim gracefully. Beyond the majestic pine trees, this pond and the large water feature in the front garden are connected.
A beautiful footbridge has been made from felled trees from the estate, to easily access the filter and pump installations of the ponds.
In addition, flanked by palm and olive trees, is an outdoor kitchen with a sink. This is a semi-open outdoor space with its roof and stable windows, where it's wonderful to cook, lounge, and dine, with the corten steel barbecue on wood and the smoker.
Behind this building, accessible from the swimming pool building and next to the annex, is another large covered terrace with a jacuzzi: a perfect, sheltered spot for parties and other gatherings. The roof of this terrace was renewed in 2021 and is covered with mature grapevines with sweet grapes. At the edges, opposite the roller door of the annex, many types of berries grow.
Beyond the swimming pool and the covered terrace is a beautiful, Tuscan-inspired garden laid out in a heart shape, complete with a covered sitting area, irrigation, animal-friendly lighting, and walking paths. This beautiful garden of three thousand square meters partly overlooks the surrounding farmland, while privacy is ensured by overgrown fencing and embankments. Next to the Tuscan garden and behind the swimming pool building is a vegetable garden. In addition to the Tuscan garden, there are chestnut, walnut, and various fruit trees, which now belong to the fenced domain of a herd of fallow deer.
SWIMMING POOL BUILDING
Next to the outdoor kitchen is the classic lounge terrace with a water feature for the swimming pool building, which is made from a former greenhouse. After the stately and covered entrance, there is the heated indoor swimming pool, approximately 12 by 5 meters, installed in 2002. It is surrounded by beautiful, handmade wall paintings and faux pillars in a Mediterranean atmosphere.
At the swimming pool, there is a technical room with all swimming pool equipment, a changing room, a separate, extra spacious shower, and a kitchenette.
The fact that the swimming pool building has a pleasant climate with air heating is also evident from the exuberant growth of grapes and mimosa, and the subtropical planting at the light indoor terrace, with numerous large cacti.
MULTIFUNCTIONAL ANNEX / BUSINESS HALL
Located on the right side of the plot and easily accessible via the driveway and courtyard, is the large and multifunctional annex, which was previously used as a business hall with a cold room for the storage and processing of vegetables and fruits. This building has a floor area of approximately 375 square meters. It has recently been painted in the same anthracite color as the villa itself. The floor, roof, masonry cavity walls, and corrugated wall profiles of the annex are fully insulated. The building is equipped with drainage grates, daylight entry, and four high and wide sectional doors. The area on the side and behind is paved to facilitate easy maneuvering with vehicles and equipment.
