Sophialaan 391213 XL HilversumSchilderskwartier

DEscriptION This characterful 1930s terraced house is situated in a prime location in Hilversum, on the popular and child-friendly Sophialaan. Behind the stylish façade lies a surprisingly spacious family home of approximately 220m², where space, light and the characteristic features of the period blend together seamlessly. The high ceilings, bay window, en-suite living room and original built-in cupboards lend the property a distinguished character, while the generous dimensions across all floors make the house particularly well-suited to a large family. With no fewer than seven bedrooms and two bathrooms, the property offers ample space for family life while allowing each member of the household to have a place of their own. The sense of space continues outdoors. The beautifully landscaped back garden, extending over 20 metres in depth, provides a sheltered space with various sun and shade terraces, a detached stone shed, a greenhouse and a canopy. Children can play freely on the lawn here. LOCATION The leafy Sophialaan is situated in a pleasant residential neighbourhood where families have felt at home for generations. The International School, other (primary) schools, sports facilities and the Gijsbrecht van Amstel shopping street are all within close proximity. Similarly, Hilversum town centre and Hilversum Sportpark railway station are within walking distance. The main roads towards Amsterdam, Utrecht and Amersfoort are easily accessible, as are the extensive surrounding woodlands and the Hoorneboegse Heide nature reserve. LAYOUT Ground floor: the property is entered through a stylish entrance hall with vestibule, a glazed panelled door with small panes, leading into a spacious hall with a toilet and washbasin, and access to the full-height cellar of approximately 15m² with connections for a washing machine and tumble dryer. The living room at the front is accessible from the hallway. The bay window, high ceilings, en-suite layout with sliding doors and four original built-in cupboards give the room the distinctive character typical of 1930s architecture. This room features an oak herringbone floor, two fireplaces one of which is gas-powered and, in the dining room at the rear, two large French doors leading to the garden. The semi-open Siematic kitchen with Miele built-in appliances is also situated at the rear and connects directly to both the dining room and the garden. First floor: a spacious landing provides access to three generous bedrooms. The principal bedroom spans the full width of the rear of the house and features a balcony and direct access to the bathroom. There is also a separate WC. The bathroom, with access to the balcony, features terrazzo washbasins and flooring, as well as a bathtub and separate shower. Second floor: spacious landing with three bedrooms of varying sizes, one of which has the second bathroom, complete with shower and washbasin. Thanks to the dormer windows, this floor offers plenty of usable living space and natural light. Various cupboards provide practical storage space. Third floor: the seventh bedroom, with a partially flat roof and a ceiling height of 2.54 metres, is accessed via a fixed staircase and features three large Velux windows that provide pleasant natural light. Behind sliding doors, this floor offers useful additional storage space and houses the central heating boiler. Garden: the garden extends over 20 metres in depth and, thanks to its multiple terraces and mature planting, offers both sunny and shaded areas to enjoy throughout the day in summer. Even in winter, a barbecue can be used thanks to the canopy. The garden is surprisingly green and has a rear entrance/exit.
