Absolute peace and privacy, in the heart of the protected dune area of Slingerduin/Heerenduinen – located on the edge of Driehuis and just a 25-minute bike ride from the vibrant center of Haarlem, with the beach of IJmuiden nearby and Amsterdam easily accessible (approx. 28 km). Set on an impressive plot of 7.712 m² – partly private and partly shared – this exceptional semi-detached villa is an oasis of greenery, space, and freedom. The villa is situated on a sheltered, wooded estate where it feels like stepping into another world, yet without sacrificing convenience or accessibility. History & Character: This former executive villa, built in the style of the “Haagsche School,” exudes character and history. In the 1970s, the property was extended to serve as a retirement home for the Fathers of the Sacred Heart. In 1992, the villa was divided into two homes and architecturally renovated. One of these homes is now available – a rare opportunity for those seeking a unique living space. Layout & Finishing: The home is spacious, with large windows that bring in light and nature. The oak wood floors on all levels provide a warm, natural feel throughout the house. The modern bathroom was updated in 2021/2022. Thanks to 12 solar panels, the home is partially energy self-sufficient. Peace & Connection: This villa offers a unique combination of seclusion and connectivity. Enjoy complete privacy, while your neighbors remain just out of sight at a comfortable distance. Here, you live in harmony with nature, without compromising on comfort or convenience.
