Located in one of the most beloved spots in the area, on the edge of the forest and the sea, this beautiful national monument boasts an A energy rating and a generous 198 m² of living space.

You can tell right away from the exterior that this is a unique home, thanks to features such as the stuccoed upper section and the beautiful arches. Characteristic details like the original tile floor in the entryway, a classic front door, high ceilings with ornamentation, and paneled doors give the house a unique atmosphere. From the entryway, you have access to the half-bath, the spacious basement, and doors leading to both living areas. The basement houses the ground-source heat pump and the utility closet, among other things. On the left, you enter the bright dining room, where the fireplace adds extra ambiance. Through the double doors, you walk into the living room, which also features a wood-burning stove that serves as a visual divider between the living room and the kitchen. The kitchen is situated at the rear of the house and provides access to the garden that surrounds the property. The kitchen is equipped with a stylish SMEG stove with an induction cooktop, a Quooker, a built-in refrigerator, and a coffee corner. Additionally, the entire ground floor features underfloor heating, hardwood floors, and beautiful ornamentation and moldings on the ceiling. From every room on the ground floor, you have a view of the beautifully landscaped garden, which features several seating areas and terraces. When you come home, you’ll always have a place to park your car, as ample space has been created on your own lot, including a charging station (to be taken over). For the children, there is a recently installed swing in the garden. Another major highlight of this home is a spacious and stylish garden house that is perfectly suited as a luxury guesthouse or fifth bedroom. So if you’re looking for a guesthouse, a granny flat, or a home office, this is the perfect match! The guesthouse is equipped with every comfort, including underfloor heating, its own central heating system, a modern bathroom with a shower and toilet, and an elegant kitchenette. Outside, a spacious covered area with a fireplace invites you to spend long, cozy evenings enjoying the soothing view of the garden. Adjacent to this is a spacious storage room/garage with plenty of possibilities for storage or as a hobby space. The ‘Spuithuis’ located behind the property is also part of the lot and owned by the current residents. Back to the main house, where we proceed to the first floor, which is also fully equipped with underfloor heating and largely features vacuum-sealed glass. Here, too, the details that define the home immediately catch the eye, such as a classic stair runner, rounded walls converted into built-in cabinets, and fireplace moldings preserved purely for decorative purposes. The landing provides access to three spacious bedrooms with built-in closets, the bathroom, and a separate toilet. The very spacious and luxurious bathroom features a walk-in shower, bathtub, double sink, and underfloor heating. Here, you can truly unwind after a long (work)day! A fixed staircase leads to the second floor, which has recently been completely renovated. The fourth bedroom located here truly feels like a hotel suite. The second bathroom created here is also luxuriously appointed and features a shower, sink, and toilet. The bedroom on this floor is situated in the gable end of the roof, creating a cozy atmosphere. This floor also offers additional storage space. A bit of history: The former caretaker’s house of Duin en Bosch was built in 1904 based on a design by architect Poggenbeek. The house was designed in the architectural style typical of the area, which is characterized, among other things, by the plastered upper floor. It is important that the preservation of the property maintains the sense of space, the open structure, and the green character of the surrounding gardens. Together with the nearby monuments, these elements form a valuable whole that is unique within the municipality and rarely found elsewhere.
