Characterful and extensively renovated living on an exceptionally spacious plot in Aerdenhout

Tucked away in a quiet, low-traffic cul-de-sac, this beautiful semi-detached house stands on an exceptionally spacious plot of 757 m². This family home was extensively renovated and made more sustainable in 2023 and 2024, while retaining the charm and character that suit Aerdenhout so well. The renovations went far beyond the visible finishes, with major structural and technical improvements also carried out. High-quality, natural materials were deliberately chosen throughout, including clay plaster and flax insulation.

As soon as you step inside, the abundance of natural light immediately stands out. The living room at the front and the generous open-plan living space with kitchen overlooking the garden combine to create a wonderful ground floor. Large windows on several sides and French doors provide a beautiful connection with the outdoors. And the outdoor space is certainly not an afterthought here: the enormous, green rear garden offers plenty of privacy and space to create your own ideal outdoor setting. The front garden is also a lovely place to sit outside. Here you can enjoy the morning sun, which returns again at the end of the day, making it the perfect spot to unwind with a drink in the evening sunshine.

With four spacious bedrooms, the possibility of creating a fifth room, two modern bathrooms, plenty of storage space, a detached garage and a wonderful location close to shops, nature and Heemstede-Aerdenhout railway station, this is an exceptionally complete family home.

In short, a unique combination of space, greenery and tranquillity, with every amenity close at hand.
