Westermark, 88, LAREN, Gelderland 7245 DD

Artistically beautiful in Laorne - Contemporary designer villa on the edge of LarenThe Westermark is a relatively new street on the edge of picturesque Laren in the Achterhoek. The street ends in a cul-de-sac, a quiet little square surrounded by a number of beautiful villas. Number 88 is a real eye-catcher: a gorgeous designer villa with an expressive, quirky design. Dark stones and wood give the house a robust appearance, while inside the house surprises with the light and sunny interior. This spacious villa, with 203 m2 of living space, comes from the drawing board of Maas Architects (since 2023: Maas Kristinsson Architects) and was built in 2009. Although it was not a requirement at the time, the villa is energy-efficient and sustainably built; with (ground) heat pump and underfloor heating, the house has an A++ energy label. The architect took the plot (594 m2) as a starting point. The house is shaped with the daylight, so that you have a lovely sun terrace at the front and a beautiful garden with terrace at the back. Furthermore, a spatial feeling has been chosen; inside, there has been played with height and light, but the rooms also exude tranquillity and warmth. The house is habitable on the ground floor, but has a third, spacious bedroom upstairs - currently used as a study. LarenLaren (Gld.) is a cosy village with several shops and a supermarket, a world (famous) bakery and cosy catering establishments whose terraces fill up with the first rays of sunshine.This place is known for its natural beauty, as it is surrounded by estates and forests. For sports enthusiasts among us: Laren has a lovely outdoor swimming pool and a tennis court, and in several places you can embark on the completely renewed, challenging MTB route of no less than 90 km in the surrounding woods and countryside.
