Badlaan 29-A1399 GM MuiderbergMuiderberg

Hidden behind a lush green hedge and reached via a charming garden path, this distinctive detached home lies on the Badlaan in Muiderberg — one of the village's best-kept secrets. The green approach, lined with hydrangeas among other planting, sets the tone right away: this is no standard home. The ground floor offers a bright, generous living level with a spacious living room, open kitchen, and separate study. There is also a self-contained bedroom/workspace with its own facilities. Upstairs are three further full-sized bedrooms and a luxurious bathroom, giving the house plenty of room for family, guests, and working from home. Over the years, the home has been carefully renovated and further developed using quality materials and under the guidance of architects. This shows in its exceptional sense of space, the natural light, the bespoke detailing, and the strong connection between house and garden. The property is surrounded by a lush green garden with a pond and water lilies, wooden decking, rich planting, and several seating and dining areas in both sun and shade. The location is special too: around 150 metres from Muiderberg beach, the marina, beach pavilion De Zeemeeuw, and the open water, with views of the sailing boats. A large woodland area lies nearby, perfect for walks and cycling. A characterful home surrounded by greenery, where architecture, materials, and garden design come together — with comfortable single-level living already possible. First floor The garden path leads to the front door, opening into a bright, welcoming hallway with a wine climate cabinet, coat closet, and a built-in cupboard that also discreetly conceals access to the wine cellar. The spacious toilet is also accessible from the hall. From here, you step into the heart of the home: a bright living space enclosed by glass on three sides, with all the openness and spaciousness of a loft. The eye-catching feature is the impressively high beamed ceiling with multiple skylights, allowing daylight to enter from several directions. The living room flows via a generous dining area into the glass extension, blending almost seamlessly into the garden. The architect designed this conservatory as a pergola: light and open, with a strong connection between indoors and out. There is also a partly separated, cosy seating area with an open fireplace. A playful round opening — another design detail by the architect — keeps the two living spaces visually connected. At the front of the house is a separate study, which can be closed off with glass doors and has its own access to the living room. This makes the floor ideally suited to both living and working from home. This same level also features a special additional space: a generous bedroom with walk-in closet, private bathroom, and utility room with washing machine connection — effectively a complete suite. It can be reached both from within the house via a connecting door and via its own separate entrance. This makes comfortable single-level living possible. The space could equally serve as a home office or as separate accommodation for, for example, a live-in family member or au pair. A staircase from the hall leads up to the remaining bedrooms. Second floor The first floor comprises three spacious, light-filled bedrooms arranged around a central landing with a pleasant workspace. The rooms offer ample space for a double bed, wardrobes, and, if desired, a seating area. One of the rooms is currently used as a practical dressing room/walk-in closet. This floor also features a generous, luxurious bathroom with a freestanding corner bath for two, a walk-in shower with mosaic tiling, a double washbasin, and a separate toilet. The original bankirai wood flooring, custom-made bankirai cabinetry, the mosaic tiling, and the natural light streaming in through three windows give the bathroom a warm, high-quality feel. Other floors Beneath the house are two separate basement spaces, each accessible via its own staircase. The larger, finished basement features underfloor heating and is currently set up as a multifunctional hobby and fitness room. The smaller basement serves as a wine cellar. These spaces can easily be adapted to suit a new owner's needs — for example, as an extra bedroom, home cinema, playroom, or studio. Garden The garden is an essential part of the home: a lush, green oasis in the middle of Muiderberg. From the living room, you step directly onto the terrace, where a pond with goldfish and water lilies forms the backdrop for several seating areas. On the other side of the living room lies a second, more secluded outdoor living area with a lounge spot, sheltered between tall hedges. Thanks to the various terraces and their different orientations, there's always a spot in the sun — or the shade — throughout the day. The garden is richly planted with ornamental grasses, bamboo, butterfly bushes, perennials, and flowering shrubs, among others. This planting provides greenery, shelter, and plenty of privacy. The garden was renovated to a new design in 2023, with ponds added and the decking renewed using sustainable materials. From the back garden, there is access to an enclosed carport within a shared garage complex with rear access. The carport offers ample storage space, a workbench, and its own entrance and exit leading directly to the garden. There is also the option to purchase one or two adjoining garages. Behind the garages are private parking spaces and an electric car charging point. The garden also includes a small covered structure, used as a sheltered outdoor storage area or bicycle shed.
