Enchanting detached villa set on a large (3095m2!) sunny plot bordering Wassenaar’s most exclusive enclave- the prestigious Kieviet neighbourhood – and the Hollandse Duinen National Park. A truly unique location and a dream come true for those seeking sun, light, space, dunes and sea.
Tucked away behind tall pine trees, and yet bathed in sunlight, this exceptional home, whose name (De Hoogzit) reflects its position, is perched atop a dune that stretches past the entire back yard, benefitting from all day sun.
This imposing thatched roofed villa, with ca. 280m2 of living space, has been lovingly maintained.
It is double glazed, and thanks to it’s high position, is wonderfully light and bright; a house whose sun-filled interior connects seamlessly with the beautiful sloping garden and various sunny terraces and has the sensational Meijendel dunes - an oasis of tranquility and natural beauty - as a backyard.
Entry to this grandly proportioned house is via a large, stylish central entry hall with a beautiful staircase and distinctive leaded glass windows. From the hall there is access to a big guest lavatory with a window, a good-sized corner study, and the huge living room with a fireplace and bow window. The living area connects to a sun-filled conservatory with doors to the side garden as well as to the dining room, which offers a view of the gorgeous back garden.
The modern extended kitchen is outfitted with a tiled floor, granite countertop, 5-burner gas cooktop, steam oven, combination oven with warming drawer, and fridge/freezer. The huge private back garden is accessible via French doors from the kitchen as well as via the utility room; the adjoining side garden has a double carport and a storage shed.
The rooms on the ground level are mostly laid with oak herringbone-patterned parquet flooring.
From the hall stairs descend to the lower floor, where there is a nice wine cellar and a corner study (also suitable for an au pair or guests) with a door to the driveway/carport and a cupboard housing a washbasin. Currently this room is 1.97 meters high but this ceiling will be raised by owner.
Also on this level are the central heating unit and boiler, a hatch to the crawlspace with Tonzon floor insulation, and a fantastic pantry/storeroom.
At the top of the stairs to the 1st floor is a landing with a separate w.c. and a bathroom with corner shower, vanity, built-in storage, and washing machine connection. The capacious front bedroom facing the front has a bow window, two doors to a side balcony, and access to a big second bathroom with a corner shower/steam cabin, double vanity, whirlpool bath, and built-in storage. There are two more bedrooms, both with fitted wardrobes and dormer windows, of which one also has a corner window. In short, a fantastic family house that exudes warmth and character with a special place for everyone, whether indoors or outside.
The second floor completes the picture: a front room with dormer window and fitted wardrobes plus a side room with built-in bed and wardrobes are ideal for children or guests. Both rooms are adjacent to a landing with a vanity and plenty of storage space.
Villa “De Hoogzit” is literally and figuratively tops! Not only because of its elevation and sunny location on the border of the Meijendel dunes - its practical features make it irresistible as well. There are primary schools within walking distance; secondary schools and sports facilities are just a bike ride away. Schiphol airport is a mere 20 minutes away by car, Amsterdam 30 minutes, and the centre of The Hague just 15 minutes. Together with the proximity to the dunes, sea, nature, and fresh air it adds up to a real dream spot. We cordially invite you to come and experience it for yourself.
