Parklaan 201406 KM BussumKoedijk

Due to a temporary stay abroad, we are offering this stunning villa for rent for a limited period of 12 months. The villa is available immediately. Bella Vista is one of the most iconic villas in Bussum, dating back to 1890. With its beautiful and distinctive eclectic architecture, this house has been designated a national monument and is frequently featured in books and magazines about the Spiegel district. This sunny half of a semi-detached villa offers a generous living space of 260 m². It is located in the leafy "Spiegel" neighborhood — a highly sought-after villa area within walking distance of nature, schools, and the train station, and close to major roads, just 25 minutes by train or car from Amsterdam. Bella Vista sits on a large 650 m² plot with maximum privacy, located on Parklaan, where houses are spaced generously apart. Parking is available on private grounds on the wide gravel paths at both the front and rear of the property. The villa boasts numerous original features such as stained-glass windows, Jugendstil tiles, mosaic work, and tall windows with colored glass at the top. The natural light throughout the home is extraordinary — even on darker days, the space feels bright and open. Further highlights include ceiling heights of 3.95m on the ground floor, 3.30m on the first floor, and even 2.65m on the top floor. The villa was completely renovated and sustainably upgraded in the past year, with underfloor heating on all levels, a ground-source heat pump, and full insulation — all while preserving its historic charm. In short: low monthly utility costs! Upon entering through the vestibule with stained glass and etched glass door, you step into the grand historic hallway and staircase. The spacious en-suite living room features a playful layout with a bay window and sunroom, which can be divided into three separate areas using sliding and French doors. The open-plan kitchen has double doors leading out to the expansive garden. There is also a long hallway with a staircase, a guest toilet with a small sink, and a door leading to the spacious, full-height basement — which includes a laundry room, multifunctional room (suitable as a hobby room, guest room, or storage), technical room, and a large pantry/utility room with garden access. The impressive staircase with stained-glass windows leads to the upper floors. On the first floor, there is a landing, one large bedroom with an adjoining walk-in wardrobe and a bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, double vanity, and toilet. A smaller bedroom or office space is also located on this level. The top floor offers three additional bedrooms and a second bathroom with a bathtub, sink, and toilet. Beneath the house is a spacious basement with natural daylight. It includes a laundry room, technical room with heat pump, and a playroom/hobby or storage area. The basement is accessed via a stone staircase from the ground floor hallway. The beautifully maintained 450 m² garden faces southwest and offers both sun and shade, with a terrace, lawn, mature trees, hydrangeas, several seating areas, and ample privacy. Bella Vista is lovingly maintained and cared for. In short: a unique opportunity to live in this exceptional villa for the next 10 months.
