* NVM OPEN HOUSE DAY ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 3, FROM 11:00 A.M. TO 3:00 P.M. * Characterful 1920s Home in Het Spiegel | 259 m² Living Space | 439 m² Private Land A home with character and an exceptional amount of space for family life. On the edge of the sought-after villa district of Het Spiegel stands this distinctive semi-detached home, surrounded by a generous private garden. The property combines authentic architecture with a practical family layout and an impressive amount of living space. With five bedrooms, a separate home office and a versatile attic floor, the house offers everything a family could wish for to live, work and grow comfortably. Its attractive price relative to the amount of living space and its location also makes it an interesting proposition within one of Bussum's most desirable neighbourhoods. The location is one of the property's major advantages. The house is situated in a quiet, leafy area, with schools, sports clubs, playgrounds and nature reserves all within easy reach. Children can grow up in a neighbourhood where outdoor play is still very much part of everyday life, surrounded by tree-lined streets, mature greenery and characterful architecture. At the same time, Bussum town centre and two railway stations are close by, providing excellent connections to Amsterdam, Utrecht and Amersfoort. Designed by architect H.J. Evert in the Amsterdam School architectural style, the house retains a number of original details, including stained-glass windows, wooden ceilings and a charming built-in bed. Over the years, the property has been carefully maintained and modernised, including roof and cavity-wall insulation and largely HR glazing. These improvements have resulted in an energy rating of C. The outdoor space is equally appealing. With a south- and west-facing orientation, the garden enjoys plenty of sunlight throughout the day. Several terraces provide inviting places to relax, dine or entertain guests at different times of the day. Mature greenery creates privacy and a sheltered atmosphere, while children have plenty of space to play. A particularly attractive feature is the private greenhouse, perfect for anyone who enjoys growing vegetables, herbs or flowers. Within Het Spiegel, where spacious family homes are increasingly scarce, this property offers a surprising amount of living space and flexibility. Whether for a larger family, working from home, hobbies or visiting guests, the layout can easily adapt to changing needs. A home with history and character, but above all, a home ready for its next family to create new memories. Layout Ground Floor The covered entrance leads into the vestibule and spacious hallway. To the right is a separate guest toilet with washbasin. The generous living room features large windows that provide an abundance of natural light throughout the day. The dining room connects to the semi-open kitchen, which is equipped with various built-in appliances and offers plenty of space for everyday family life as well as enjoyable dinners with family and friends. A striking feature on this floor is the original wooden ceiling, which, together with the stained-glass details, creates a warm and distinctive atmosphere. The living and dining rooms also feature new HR glazing and doors opening onto the garden. Behind the kitchen is a practical utility room with access to the basement, providing valuable additional storage space. The central heating boiler is also located here. A beautiful connecting hallway leads to the separate home office. This versatile room could also be used as a playroom, hobby room or home-based practice. First Floor The first floor is accessed via an elegant landing staircase featuring characteristic stained-glass windows. There are four spacious bedrooms on this level. Two bedrooms have access to a charming loggia. One of the bedrooms features a cosy built-in bed, a particularly appealing original detail that would be ideal for children or guests. The spacious bathroom is practically laid out and features a bathtub, double washbasin and walk-in shower. Second Floor The recently renovated and insulated attic floor is a generous multifunctional space that can be arranged according to your needs. It could serve as an additional bedroom, home office, hobby room or teenage retreat. Outside The property has a spacious front, side and rear garden with a favourable south/southwest-facing orientation, allowing you to enjoy sunshine and outdoor living for much of the day. The attractive patio garden at the rear can be accessed via the utility room and through a rear entrance, offering plenty of privacy. The garage provides additional storage, while the private driveway offers parking for two cars. The greenhouse completes the outdoor space and provides gardening enthusiasts with the opportunity to grow their own vegetables, herbs or flowers.
