Especially with this tropical heat, everyone is looking for a "COOL" home. And we have one.... With 4 air conditioners on all floors, coming home feels like stepping into a refrigerator. And the electricity consumption...? In 2025, the total energy costs (everything combined) were €0 (yes: zero euros). How is that possible? Thanks to solar panels on the roof, a home battery, and a smart management system. Still want to sit in the sun? While there isn’t a large garden, there is a wonderful rooftop terrace to enjoy. Characterful, spacious and comfortable family home with sustainable features in a prime location Situated on a quiet street, just around the corner from the popular Gijsbrecht van Amstelstraat and the Eikbosserweg, this comfortable and surprisingly spacious family home is ideally located. Originally, the property was a combined shop and residence, housing a greengrocer’s shop and later a cigar shop. Today, it is used entirely as a residential home. The addition of an extra floor has created an exceptionally spacious and well-laid-out family house. A unique property in a lovely location, where character, modern living comfort and sustainability come together. Authentic details such as stained-glass windows in the living room, the living room doors, and the original doors of the built-in wardrobe in the front bedroom on the first floor give the home a warm and distinctive character. The property has an energy label B, making it notably energy-efficient for a house dating from the early twentieth century. This is achieved through various insulation measures, solar panels, a home battery, and no fewer than four air-conditioning units (in the living room and three bedrooms), providing sustainable heating and cooling. A future-proof home with low energy costs and a high level of comfort. The location is ideal: shops, specialty stores and restaurants along the Gijsbrecht van Amstelstraat are within walking distance. Hilversum town centre, various schools (including international schools) and public transport are all within easy cycling distance. Major access roads towards Amsterdam and Utrecht can be reached within minutes. In addition, the Hilversum Heath and surrounding nature areas are close by, making this an excellent location for nature lovers as well. Layout Entrance hall with staircase to the upper floors.
