Waterweg 363731 HL De BiltDe Bilt West

Along the beloved Waterweg, where characteristic 1930s houses give the street its unmistakable charm, stands this exceptionally atmospheric semi-detached home. A house that cherishes its history yet has been tastefully and carefully adapted to meet modern living standards. Behind the elegant façade with stained-glass details lies a home with approximately 96 m² of living space, a well-kept garden surrounding it, and a particularly warm ambiance. The living room en suite, original woodwork, paneled doors, and high ceilings exude period character, while the modern kitchen with underfloor heating and recently renewed insulated roofs provide contemporary comfort. The house offers three bedrooms, a bright bathroom with a high ceiling, a cellar, a detached stone outbuilding divided into two rooms, and a sunny garden facing south and east. LAYOUT Ground floor: The home welcomes you with a beautifully landscaped front garden featuring traditional paving, a green hedge, and wrought-iron fencing leading to the side garden. The front garden provides space to park a car on private property as well as room for a cozy seating area or bike storage. From the street, the characteristic dormers, refined brickwork, and recently renewed roof immediately catch the eye, perfectly reflecting the charm of the 1920s and 1930s. The front door, with a stained-glass transom and elegant canopy, opens into an inviting hallway where the herringbone parquet floor with border sets the tone. From the hall, you have access to the toilet with hand basin and the living room en suite. The living room is a true showpiece: the en suite layout with original stained-glass sliding doors, two decorative fireplaces (one with a wood stove), built-in cabinets, and large windows create a rich and welcoming atmosphere. The high ceilings with decorative trim and smoothly plastered walls in light tones enhance the sense of space and elegance. The light oak floors add warmth and character. The front room serves perfectly as a stylish sitting area, while the middle section offers an intimate setting ideal as a dining area or reading nook. At the rear, the living area flows into the kitchen, which feels warm and inviting, with a natural stone floor equipped with underfloor heating and side windows providing extra daylight. The kitchen features an induction cooktop, extractor hood, convection oven, dishwasher, and fridge-freezer combination. The French doors to the garden blur the boundary between indoors and outdoors, while the side door offers convenient access to the side garden. A bright, lively space that forms the heart of the home. First floor: The original wooden staircase leads to the first floor, where three bedrooms form a harmonious whole. The main bedroom at the rear includes a built-in wardrobe and French doors opening onto the roof terrace, a lovely place to start the day in the morning sun. The floors flow seamlessly through all rooms, creating a sense of calm and unity. Small dormers on various sides provide charming daylight and an intimate atmosphere. The bathroom is stylish and spacious, with a high ceiling, bathtub, walk-in shower, washbasin, toilet, and a Velux skylight that floods the room with natural light. A loft ladder provides access to the attic, perfect for additional storage. Cellar: Beneath the house is a surprisingly spacious cellar with a height of about 1.61 meters. The space is dry, easily accessible, and ideal as a wine cellar, storage area, or utility space—a practical and charming addition rarely found in homes of this type. Garden: The surrounding garden is an oasis of peace and privacy. The rear garden (nearly 100 m²) faces south and east and is beautifully landscaped with ornamental paving, mature planting, outdoor lighting, and a manually tensioned sunshade. At the back of the garden are two stone outbuildings, one section with double doors. Both parts are equipped with electricity and offer numerous possibilities. The front garden is also beautifully designed, with a green boundary and enough space to park on private property, a particularly pleasant advantage in this sought-after neighborhood. LOCATION AND SURROUNDINGS The Waterweg is one of those rare streets that perfectly captures the spirit of De Bilt.

The street is lined with greenery and has a charming village character, while the authentic architectural styles and the care with which the houses have been maintained create a rare atmosphere of quality and timelessness. Those who live here enjoy the rich architecture that gives the neighborhood its prestige. From carefully laid brick façades with elegant window divisions to characterful dormers and stained-glass details, the Waterweg breathes the style and grace of the 1920s and 1930s, complemented by later architectural periods that add harmony and diversity to the street. It is a street that exudes calm but also vibrancy: residents know each other, greet one another, and share pride in this beautiful environment. The location is truly ideal. The nature reserves Houdringe, Sandwijck, and Vollenhoven are nearby, offering opportunities to walk, run, or cycle among centuries-old avenues and stately trees. The Houdringe Forest is just around the corner, forming a green buffer toward the city.
