’t Werfje – Characterful Studio Home with a View of the Deer Park In a quiet location in the historic center of Laren stands this detached studio residence, originally built in 1897 at the request of painter Arina Hugenholtz, a central and colorful figure of the Larense School. The house, named ’t Werfje, served as her studio, while she stayed at the nearby Hotel Hamdorff. In 2001, the home was almost entirely rebuilt, preserving the original foundation. The walls, floors, and roof were renewed and insulated. The annex was also completely reconstructed during this period, including a new foundation and cavity wall. In 2025, the property was repainted and technically inspected, giving the house a fresh and well-maintained appearance. Thanks to the slightly elevated position of the plot (about 60 cm above ground level) and a thoughtfully placed hedge, the living room enjoys an unobstructed view of the Deer Park — without any parked cars in sight. This rare combination of greenery, light, and tranquility is exceptional for a home located so close to the village center. Layout The covered entrance leads to a hallway with a guest toilet, laundry room, and central heating setup. From the hall, you enter the living room, where the original studio character has been beautifully preserved. A northeast-facing studio window, partially 4.75-meter-high ceiling, a robust mantelpiece with cast iron "Iron Dog" wood-burning stove, and French doors to the south-facing terrace make this room exceptionally bright and spacious. In the early morning, northern light pours through the studio window as the Deer Park slowly comes to life. This is living with a sense of horizon — even without a sea view. The adjoining kitchen is equipped with high-quality built-in appliances and offers space for gatherings, cooking, and conversations. Behind the kitchen lies a separate wing with the primary bedroom, built-in wardrobes, and a generous bathroom featuring a distinctive “B DUTCH” bathtub, walk-in shower, second toilet, and washbasin. Upstairs, you'll find a mezzanine with a cozy view over the living room, a charming second bedroom with its own bathroom (shower, toilet, washbasin), and access to the attic storage.
