Welcome, welcome! Are ya looking for a place to call home in the Netherlands? Allow me to introduce ya to this stunning villa located at Torenlaan 17, Bussum. This one's quite the catch, if I do say so myself. Offering a delightful blend of comfort, history, and character, this detached notary house dates all the way back to 1909. But let me tell you, it’s aged like a fine wine!
Now, Bussum is quite the charming spot, lemme tell ya. Nestled in the heart of the Netherlands, it’s a town that's steeped in both history and modern amenities. It’s a busy little area, but still manages to maintain a tranquil vibe. The climate here is mild, with cool summers and chilly winters—but hey, that just means you get to enjoy each season in its own beauty.
Living here is an experience in itself. Bussum is brimming with things to do. For nature lovers, the heathland is just a short stroll away, perfect for morning jogs or leisurely walks. And if you’re more of an urban soul, the local shops and cafes are just around the corner, buzzing with life and plenty of options to indulge in. With schools and station nearby, everything's within arms reach, making it highly convenient for those always on the go, like myself.
Now, getting back to the villa. As I stepped through the front gates, I immediately felt the grand aura of this home. The exterior boasts beautiful shutters, high, wide windows, and distinct woodwork. Those two conservatories? Ah, you’ll love them—they give the place a unique, warm appearance that makes you wanna kick back and relax. And the gardens! Oh my! They’re just divine! With a front and back courtyard, you’ve got your own little paradise. The pear and apple trees provide an excellent touch of nature. Plus, the artificial grass is a lifesaver, especially if you’ve got kiddos who love sports.
And the cherry on top? A quaint, artisan-crafted wooden "Gooische" hut stands quietly in the garden. It’s made entirely of wooden trunks, giving it a rustic charm. This space is full of potential, ideal for evening get-togethers or as a cozy guest retreat. You’ve got a carport and a spacious shed back there too, all following that same wooden style, accessible by a charming gravel path.
Step inside, and you’ll find a home filled with warmth and character. High ceilings, more than 3.5 meters, welcome you downstairs, perfectly matched with stained glass and antique wood stoves. The ground floor is a treasure, hosting a modern kitchen with underfloor heating, a dining room, and two large ensuite sitting rooms. Those conservatories offer bright prospects overlooking the garden. With a wide central hallway, moving around couldn’t be smoother!
Making your way upstairs, you’ll find four bedrooms each with that warm, snug feel. Built-in wardrobes offer ample space, and the modern bathroom, renewed in April 2024 (mark your calendars), features a rain shower, bathtub, and wooden accents. The bedroom at the front has a balcony that even sports solar panels, talk about eco-friendly!
