4SALE! This is outdoor living at its best: surrounded by greenery, wonderfully private and with an exceptional sense of space and freedom. An architect-designed detached villa with a thatched roof, set in a garden where space and freedom take centre stage. Katwijkseweg 40 is one of those places where you almost forget you are living in Wassenaar. Here, you can fully embrace country living, with sweeping views over the Lentevreugd nature reserve, beautiful mature trees and, above all, an abundance of outdoor space. THE SELLER’S STORY “What once started here as a family flower bulb business, where our children grew up, has over the years become a family home filled with wonderful memories, where our grandchildren loved spending time. Playing hide-and-seek in and around the house, having endless fun in the garden with the zip line, trampoline or swimming pool, or playing in their very own museum in the attic. Not to mention all the wonderful parties and dinners with family and friends. We have enjoyed every moment of it. Now, it is time for something smaller.” LIVING COMFORT The villa has a spacious and comfortable layout, with the various living areas flowing naturally into one another while each retaining its own character and purpose. The generous living room is wonderfully bright and offers beautiful views over Lentevreugd through its large windows. A view that almost becomes part of the interior itself. Throughout the different rooms, there is a constant connection between indoor and outdoor living. Adjacent to the living room is a separate dining room and a spacious kitchen with its own dining area. A true family kitchen, with plenty of room for cooking elaborate meals, but equally suited to starting the day with a cup of coffee while enjoying views of the garden. The first floor offers three spacious bedrooms and two bathrooms. Here too, the distinctive lines of the thatched roof add character and atmosphere, giving the home that wonderful combination of country living and everyday comfort. PLENTY OF POSSIBILITIES For those looking to create a home entirely to their own taste, this property offers plenty of possibilities. One option is to connect the existing kitchen and dining room by opening up the dividing wall, creating a generous open-plan kitchen that flows directly into the dining area and towards the garden. There are also interesting possibilities to increase the living space. The property currently offers approximately 176 m² of living space on the ground floor, with the potential to extend this to approximately 250 m². In addition, there is the possibility of constructing approximately 90 m² of additional outbuilding(s) without requiring a permit. This could be used, for example, as a generous guest house, home office, gym or studio. So, while this villa already offers an abundance of space, it also provides plenty of potential to create a home that perfectly suits your own lifestyle and wishes. OUTDOOR LIVING The garden is not simply large; it gives you a genuine sense of freedom. Expansive lawns, mature trees, beautiful hedges and various seating areas give each part of the garden its own atmosphere. Some spots are wonderfully sheltered beneath the greenery, while others are completely open, offering uninterrupted views over the surrounding landscape. French doors from the house make it easy to take everyday life outdoors on sunny days. Long lunches at home, reading a book beneath one of the trees, children having all the space they could wish for to play, or simply placing a chair on the lawn and enjoying the view; once you are here, there really is no need to go anywhere else. Even arriving at the house adds to that special feeling. The long private driveway leads you through the greenery towards the villa, which is wonderfully set back from the road. The detached double garage provides ample space for two cars, bicycles and storage and, with its thatched roof, fits beautifully with the country character of the property. There is also a separate toilet in the garage, particularly convenient when spending the day working or relaxing in the garden. LOCATION Katwijkseweg has a wonderful rural character and forms a natural transition between Wassenaar and the surrounding countryside. Here, you live surrounded by greenery and enjoy peace and space every day, while all the amenities of Wassenaar remain within easy reach. It is precisely this combination that makes the location so appealing. You have the feeling of living in the countryside, with plenty of space around you and views you will never tire of, without having to give up the convenience of shops, schools, sports facilities and everything else Wassenaar has to offer. Leiden, The Hague and the main arterial roads are also easily accessible. A home for those who are looking for more than just square metres; for those who value freedom, greenery and a way of life where every day feels a little like outdoor living.
