Discover this charming villa nestled in the serene landscapes of Farum, a jewel west of Copenhagen, Denmark. Offering a delightful balance of rural tranquility and suburban convenience, this detached family home is ideally situated to provide scenic views of the undulating Mølleå Valley to the south and expansive fields and forests to the north. This picturesque setting ensures a peaceful living environment while still being close enough to city amenities for comfort and ease.
The villa, a pre-war brick bungalow built in 1937, stands on a substantial 2500 square meter plot that gently slopes towards the wetland area along Mølleåen. The garden, a mix of manicured lawns bordered by mature trees and shrubs, promises a private and lush outdoor space perfect for family activities or solitary relaxation.
Spanning 93 square meters, the residence blends classic charm with modern necessities. The recent addition of a 20 square meter extension in 1995 and an 18 square meter conservatory ensures ample living space while maintaining architectural harmony. The conservatory, adjacent to a large terrace, offers stunning views and acts as a sun-filled nexus between the indoors and nature.
Entry to the villa is through a light-tiled hallway, which leads up to the main floor, down to a fully utilized basement, or out to the inviting terrace and gardens. The main floor features a cozy yet bright bathroom with a shower, a kitchen with northward views, and a spacious dining and living area that sits comfortably in a corner layout. Hardwood flooring and abundant natural light enhance the warmth of the space.
The basement, notable for its quality finish, includes two well-appointed rooms currently used as a bedroom and guest room, both featuring stylish underfloor heating, and a luxurious bathroom with a bathtub. Additionally, the basement houses a substantial laundry/utility/boiler room and a handy workshop, all of which enjoy direct access to the outdoor terrace.
Recent upgrades include a roof replacement in 2016 and a new gas boiler in 2018. The terrace's distinctive "ship's parquet" flooring has also been recently renovated, reflecting the owner's commitment to maintaining the property's charm and functionality.
