This villa truly has it all: space, tranquillity, luxury, wellness and spectacular uninterrupted views across the surrounding countryside. A stylish and fully sustainable family home (energy label A++) featuring a spacious kitchen-diner, multiple living areas, a private wellness area with indoor swimming pool, a studio/guest accommodation with gym, and a generous south-west facing garden. All of this is set in a wonderfully rural location in Cruquius, with nature reserves, Haarlem, Amsterdam and the beach surprisingly close by. This is one of those homes where, the moment you step inside, you immediately feel that everything is just right. Spacious, light-filled and thoughtfully designed down to the smallest detail. In recent years the villa has been thoroughly modernised and made highly energy-efficient, resulting in an A++ energy rating. With 30 solar panels, a heat recovery ventilation system (MVHR), full insulation, warm-air heating and air conditioning, this is a future-proof home where comfort and energy efficiency come together effortlessly. The entire property is equipped with a Philips Hue home automation system and finished in several places with bespoke fitted furniture by Buhrmann Interieurbouw. What makes this home particularly special are the various living spaces and functions. The layout is generous and well considered, allowing each room to feel both spacious and welcoming. The kitchen-diner is a delightful place for breakfast, coffee and drinks, as well as for cosy dinners with family and friends. The kitchen is fitted with high-quality appliances and has a warm, country-style character. Through en-suite doors you enter the living room, where a gas fireplace, a bespoke television cabinet and French doors opening onto the garden create a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. A particularly charming addition is the garden room: a bright space with a timber beam ceiling and large windows on two sides, offering lovely views over the garden. This room can be accessed through the living room but also via a separate entrance. It is a wonderful place for a morning coffee, dinners with friends or long evenings around the barbecue. Two sets of French doors connect the garden room seamlessly to the generous raised terrace. The south-west facing rear garden, no less than 63 metres deep, has been architecturally landscaped and offers several terraces, a pond and plenty of privacy. Here you can follow the sun from early morning until late in the evening. At the rear of the garden stands a multifunctional outbuilding currently arranged as a studio with pantry, toilet and its own entrance – also perfectly suited as a practice space or guest accommodation. Adjacent is a gym with beautiful views over the fields; exercising with a panorama that never grows old. As the finishing touch, there is the basement level, which feels like a private wellness retreat. Here you will find a heated indoor swimming pool with automatic cover, a steam cabin, shower and underfloor heating. A wonderful place to start the day with a refreshing swim or to unwind in complete tranquillity. The upper floors continue to impress with their sense of space. The first floor features three bedrooms and a generously sized bathroom. The principal bedroom at the rear has French doors opening onto the balcony overlooking the fields – a view that makes an impression every single morning. The second floor feels like a private suite, with a stylish and atmospheric bedroom, walk-in wardrobe, bespoke furniture and a luxurious bathroom completed in 2023. Thanks to the double Velux roof windows in both the bedroom and bathroom, an abundance of natural light fills the space. The mezzanine level creates a playful area where a child can happily retreat to play or relax. The location completes the picture. Cruquius offers a peaceful rural atmosphere with wide open views and tranquillity all around. At the same time, Haarlem, Hoofddorp and Amsterdam are just a short distance away, and Schiphol Airport and The Hague are easily accessible. Here you enjoy country living without ever being far from the city.
