Oude Amersfoortseweg 691213 AC HilversumSchilderskwartier

A charming detached villa built in 1901 with an exceptionally spacious garden, a private driveway, and a garden office, situated in one of Hilversum’s most beautiful locations. Some homes offer space. Others offer character. Only very rarely does a home come on the market that combines both to such an exceptional degree. Set in a quiet and green location, just a few minutes’ walk from downtown Hilversum, the Sportpark train station, and expansive nature reserves, stands this magnificent detached villa built in 1901. Behind the distinctive, municipally designated historic facade lies a surprisingly spacious family home with approximately 194 m² of living space, a private driveway, and a sunny backyard spanning no less than 350 m². While many homes near the city center require compromises in terms of space, privacy, or green space, this villa offers the best of all those worlds. Here, you’ll enjoy a peaceful and secluded lifestyle, surrounded by mature greenery, while shops, restaurants, schools, public transportation, forests, and heathland are all within easy reach. The villa still exudes the grandeur of the early 20th century. Authentic details such as ornate ceilings, stained-glass windows, paneled doors, and original marble fireplaces have been carefully preserved. At the same time, the home has been stylishly modernized, allowing its historic charm and contemporary living comfort to blend seamlessly. The result is a particularly charming family home with a warm atmosphere, spacious living areas, and a layout that perfectly meets today’s needs. Layout: Ground floor: The entrance is located at the front of the home. The wide, bright hallway forms the central axis of the house and provides access to the various rooms. The combination of space, light, and character is immediately apparent here. At the front is a cozy living room en suite. The first room is furnished as a comfortable TV and sitting room. Adjacent to it is a second room featuring a beautiful black marble mantelpiece and fireplace. The original stained-glass sliding doors allow both spaces to be separated while maintaining a sense of connection. The beautifully restored ornate ceilings and the oak herringbone parquet flooring enhance the elegant ambiance of these rooms. At the rear of the house, the home opens onto the garden. Here you’ll find the spacious dining room and the kitchen-diner, which together form the beating heart of daily family life. Thanks to the nearly entirely glass rear facade with large windows and French doors, a beautiful connection is created between the interior and exterior. On sunny days, the patio feels like a natural extension of the living space. The modern kitchen-diner features a timeless color scheme and is equipped with various built-in appliances. The kitchen is also directly accessible via both the side entrance and the garden. The ground floor also features a spacious living room, home office, or study with an adjoining sunroom. Thanks to its south-facing orientation, this space enjoys exceptionally pleasant natural light. Between the kitchen and the study is a practical hallway with a half-bath. Beneath the kitchen is a spacious pantry, ideal for storage. The spacious main bathroom features a bathtub, walk-in shower, double sink, and a third toilet. There is also a second bathroom with a shower and sink, ideal for children, guests, or a larger family. The attic, accessible via a loft ladder, offers plenty of practical storage space. Outdoor living: The garden is undoubtedly one of the most distinctive features of this villa. With a lot size of approximately 619 m², this home boasts an outdoor space that is exceptionally spacious by downtown standards. The beautifully landscaped backyard offers a rare combination of tranquility, privacy, and space. Thanks to the mature landscaping, multiple patios, and the favorable location, you can always find a pleasant spot to enjoy the sun or, conversely, the shade at any time of day. Whether it’s a relaxing cup of coffee in the morning sun, long summer evenings with friends, or children playing on the lawn, this garden offers plenty of space to make the most of outdoor living. The charming garden pavilion provides a delightful spot to enjoy the outdoors well into the late hours. A special bonus is the detached outbuilding at the back of the garden. Thanks to its underfloor heating and dedicated electrical panel, this is an excellent space for a home office, practice room, studio, or creative workspace—a quiet and inspiring environment, just a few steps from the house. The front yard also adds to the property’s overall charm. There is a spacious bicycle storage area beneath the imposing linden tree. Both the front and back yards are equipped with a drip irrigation system and a sprinkler system. Location: The location is undoubtedly one of the major distinguishing features of this villa. While most spacious villas in Hilversum are located further outside the city center, this home offers both the luxury of space and a central location. Within a few minutes’ walk, you can reach the city center, Sportpark Station, shops, restaurants, and various amenities. At the same time, forests, heathland, and nature reserves are practically around the corner. The street itself is quiet and popular, while excellent accessibility ensures that major roads and public transportation are always nearby. This unique combination of tranquility, space, greenery, and urban amenities makes this a residential location that rarely comes on the market.
