Next to the Zuidas, tucked away in the greenery, you will find this exceptional 397m residence with surrounding garden and private parking on a spacious 627m corner plot. Built in 1968, this detached villa was rebuilt around 1980 and renovated by the current owners in 2016/2017 to provide all modern comforts. The ground lease is fully paid off. The renovation included underfloor heating on the ground floor, energy efficient radiators on the upper floor, 24 solar panels and HR ++ glazing. The house has an energy label A. The whole is a beautiful fusion of a modern detached house in a quiet, family-oriented area of the city. Glass facades all around allow plenty of light into the living area and views out over the green garden. The adjoining semi-open kitchen with island provides access to the office in the former attached garage. Upstairs there are 4 spacious bedrooms (one of which is used as a study), two very spacious bathrooms, a walk-in wardrobe and a balcony. In the basement there is a home cinema, bar, sports room, utility room and plenty of storage space, ideal for indoor leisure activities.

It is fully equipped with Gaggenau appliances (dishwasher, fridge, 5-burner induction hob, combi steam oven, combi microwave), a freezer, a quooker and a fine coffee corner.
