Discover Huize ’t Haspel: a spacious, beautifully finished villa, fully restored and modernised to a state-of-the-art standard, set on a generous plot with an enchanting garden and large swimming pool in the heart of the peaceful, leafy village of Aerdenhout. This contemporary oasis blends modern design with the charm of authentic details and offers several generous living areas, including a grand living room and a modern family kitchen. With six stylish bedrooms, three luxurious bathrooms and additional multi-purpose rooms, the property is ideal for a large family or for anyone seeking space and comfort. This characterful detached home, with its graceful façades, looks as though it has stepped straight out of a fairy tale. The architect-designed garden, the rose bushes climbing the walls, and the many original features inside – such as the original floors, high ceilings with decorative cornices, open fireplaces and the visible supporting structure – all enhance this impression. It is a true family home, perfect for hosting dinner parties and overnight guests. Thanks to the floor plan, which includes several living areas – the main drawing room, a more intimate sitting room and a third living room in the extension – as well as a convenient pantry and five bedrooms, two of which have en-suite bathrooms, the house lends itself beautifully to entertaining. The ground floor comprises the drawing room, sitting room, kitchen, utility room and the living room in the extension. Each is a delightful space in its own right, with the drawing room being the first of the three living areas and also the largest. This wonderfully bright room has French doors opening onto the front, side and rear gardens, with terraces on each side. It is the perfect space for receiving guests. The fireplace and wood-burning stove add warmth and atmosphere, and with the doors open, the room enjoys a refreshing through-breeze. From the elevated rear terrace, the view of the garden is stunning. The more intimate sitting room and the living room in the extension provide ideal spaces for family evenings. The extension, both inside and out, has been designed entirely in keeping with the property’s original character: the floor, newly installed in 2020, is almost indistinguishable from the original wooden flooring found elsewhere in the house, and the open fireplace with its ornate chimney completes the picture. The house features many large windows and French doors. When you visit, you will notice immediately: this home is oriented towards the outdoors. From almost every room you have views of – and access to – the lush garden. The luxurious and modern open kitchen at the rear connects the outdoors with the utility room and living room. The kitchen island provides ample workspace and makes this an ideal setting for cooking together. A special feature is the unique English Thornhill range, which combines wood-fired and electric cooking. The garden has been carefully conceived. Designed by Cor van Gelderen, it is best described as a woodland setting punctuated by beautiful clearings. The plants flower in succession, creating year-round interest; around the pool there is a sea of colourful blooms, and near the kitchen you will find fruit trees and a variety of herbs. On the first floor there are four bedrooms and two bathrooms – one of which is en suite. The layout of this floor is highly practical, allowing each space to serve multiple functions. There is a coffee nook on the landing, a laundry room and a separate WC. This means that a cup of coffee while working or a glass of water after exercising in the home gym is never far away. The family bathroom feels like the house’s tower room, with its ceiling open to the ridge and the structural beams left visible, creating a serene and calming atmosphere. The second floor, a loft-like space, offers two bedrooms and can easily serve as accommodation for an au pair. It includes a simple kitchen, a luxurious bathroom with a washing machine connection, and an additional room. Living in Aerdenhout means enjoying tranquillity while being close to the vibrancy of nearby towns: surrounded by greenery and within easy reach of both Heemstede and Haarlem. Primary and secondary schools are nearby, as are sports facilities. The beach and dunes are a 20-minute cycle away.
