Valkenberglaan 387313 BL ApeldoornBerg en Bos

At the leafy Valkenberglaan, one of the most beautiful avenues in Berg en Bos, stands this characterful villa dating from 1925. A residence that harmoniously combines history, comfort, and craftsmanship. The villa has an energy label C and has been meticulously maintained and modernised in recent years. At the same time, the interior offers ample scope for an alternative layout of the living spaces, allowing the property to be adapted to a contemporary lifestyle or life stage if desired. In 2023, the entire roof was renewed: fully insulated, fitted with a new screw-down roof and finished with thatch. The exterior has been professionally repainted and fitted with lighting by the front door and terrace. Technically, the property is in excellent condition, with new copper rainwater pipes installed. The outdoor lighting is on a timer, and both the outbuilding and garage are equipped with gas heaters. The villa exudes understated grandeur, enhanced by the distinctive windows with insulated glazing in wooden frames, the carefully restored wooden sills, and authentic architectural details that have been lovingly preserved. The garden lighting features original old lanterns from Paleis Het Loo – a unique and elegant accent that lends the property its special allure. The home is fitted with a modern Verisure alarm system and includes several technical conveniences, such as a lawn irrigation system with a private well and control via the meter cupboard. Both the detached garage and the outbuilding are heated, making them comfortably usable throughout the year. The garden surrounding the villa offers exceptional privacy and a sense of freedom. At the front, there is an unobstructed view across a wide belt of woodland, giving the setting an extra sense of exclusivity. The street curves around the triangular wooded area, creating a tranquil and spacious environment with abundant greenery. The 1,480 m² plot has dual access. From the driveway at the front, there is space for four cars beside the house. This leads to the garage, whose thatched roof and high ridge perfectly complement the villa’s architectural style. At the rear, via the Cederlaan, a generous driveway provides parking for five cars, alongside a large carport with a tiled roof. Beyond it stands a wooden storage shed with double doors. Ground floor The entrance hall makes a charming first impression, with tiled flooring and electric underfloor heating. To the left is a toilet, tiled in a light shade and featuring a window, wash basin, and heating. From the hall, a wooden staircase leads down to the tiled cellar, used as a cloakroom and storage area. The study at the front of the house has a herringbone parquet floor with a double border and inlay, and offers views of the front garden and spacious drive. In the bay window, a bespoke bench with convector heating has been integrated, while sun blinds at the front enhance comfort. The windows give this room a warm, classic character. Through ensuite doors, the dining and living room can be reached. Like the study, this room has high ceilings with decorative mouldings and detailed edging. The large windows allow plenty of natural light, creating an airy, generous atmosphere. A door opens into the conservatory-style living area added in 1996, which extends beyond the original façade. This brings in beautiful natural light, and double garden doors provide direct access to the garden. From here, one can reach the kitchen, arranged in a simple two-part layout with a gas hob, extractor, oven, dishwasher, fridge, and freezer. Adjoining is the utility room, tiled and equipped with connections for a washing machine and dryer. The Nefit HR boiler is located here, together with extra storage space for provisions or household appliances. A door provides access to the outside. First floor The staircase in the central hall leads to the landing, where a three-part stained glass window casts a play of coloured light. The main bedroom, located on the side of the villa, is generously sized. It features a luxurious built-in wardrobe with eight doors, offering hanging, shelving, and drawer space. Behind the bed, additional custom storage has been added, combining practicality with style. At the front, a second room serves as an office or bedroom, featuring tongue-and-groove panelling along the sloped walls, light-toned beams, and new leaded-glass windows in wooden frames with modern fittings. The third bedroom is used as a guest room and includes a wash basin and retractable loft ladder to the spacious attic. The bathroom has a bathtub, a separate shower with thermostat tap, a washbasin unit with lighting, and a wall-mounted toilet. The partly frosted leaded-glass window provides both privacy and ventilation.
