But it’t is quite nice, anyway), its artistic communities, and its accessibility to larger city centers. Nestled in the heart of this picturesque location is a delightful villa that could be your next sanctuary. Situated on Hilversumseweg 18, this villa is more than just a structure; it’s a living story waiting for you to step into.
Laren is steeped in culture and history. Known for its art colonies since the 19th century, it’s a haven for artists and those who appreciate a tranquil lifestyle, enriched with culture and close-knit community vibes. Just imagine leisurely weekends spent exploring the Singer Laren Museum, or sipping coffee at local cafes while taking in the neighborhood's lush greenery and historic architecture. With a population of around 11,000, Laren offers an intimate, yet vibrant atmosphere that thrives on community events and outdoor gatherings.
The climate here is generally mild with warm summers and cool winters. The changing seasons only add to the charm of this village, with beautiful springtime blooms and picturesque summer afternoons. Winter offers its own magic, with cozy evenings perfect for snuggling up by the fireplace.
Now, down to the nitty-gritty of the property itself – this villa is an extraordinary find. Designed in 1950 by the notable Laren architect, PC van Uchelen, it embodies a fusion of traditional artistry and modern comfort. This is a villa that impresses with its understated elegance and practical layout. Spanning a generous 219 square meters, this detached beauty is in good condition and ready for you to move in and make it your own.
As you arrive, you’re greeted by an electric entrance gate and a welcoming driveway capable of accommodating several vehicles. It's not often you find a home that provides the convenience of a large detached garage, complete with a lift and grease pit, ideal for car enthusiasts or as additional storage space.
Immediately upon entering, you find yourself in a harmonious reception hall, leading you into a spacious layout that effortlessly flows from room to room, offering both privacy and connectivity.
Let's take a walk-through:

The home is life-cycle proof, and various essential updates were made 3-4 years ago, so rest assured, you're walking into a solid investment. While the house is in good condition, it’s always nice to imagine some personalization – maybe you'll want to repaint, update a few fixtures, or cultivate the garden to suit your tastes.
Living in a villa, as you might suspect, offers a unique kind of independence and freedom. Detached living means fewer noise concerns and more privacy. It’s about enjoying your space, your way.
