Hoogwerflaan 12 Sold

Description

Grandly proportioned detached villa, laid out over 4 floors, with 7 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, sunny garden on 3 sides, and off-street parking for up to 3 vehicles.

This unique home dating from 1923 was designed by the renowned architect Co Brandes and underwent a thorough renovation in the late 1990s, including the addition of an extension spanning the full width of the property as well as a huge lower level, all with an emphasis on sustainable yet luxurious materials. Among the many upgrades incorporated in the refurbishment are floor insulation, double glazing, and an extensive security system.
This exceptional property is situated in the Marlot neighbourhood, a residential enclave on the border between The Hague and Wassenaar that is much in demand for its wide streets and leafy, child-friendly ambiance. Its central location is within easy reach of motorways, railway stations, schools (including the BSN), and a wide variety of fine retail establishments including the nearby Het Loo shopping centre and the recently opened Mall of the Netherlands.

Layout:

Ground floor:
A driveway leads to the covered front entrance, which opens to a vestibule adorned with original wall tiles and a leaded glass window. From here, an anti-draught separation leads to a large hall with wainscoting and beautiful oak parquet flooring, coat storage, and a guest lavatory. The spacious living room facing the front features decorative ceilings with built-in spotlights and a custom-crafted wall unit. The adjoining dining room, separated by sliding doors from the living area, has double doors to a study with classic fitted bookcases and space for desks on 2 sides. Both rooms have wood-burning fireplaces with sandstone mantels. The floor-heated extension at the back, with triple French doors to a large sunny L-shaped terrace, is open to the huge luxurious kitchen which is outfitted with a powerful yet nearly silent extractor, ample counter space, and appliances including a Quooker (on-demand boiling water installation) and a side-by-side fridge freezer. The adjacent utility room has laundry connections, an external entrance, and access to a terrace.
Stairs descend from the extension to the lower level, where there is a good-sized tv/hobby/fitness area with built-in cupboards, a separate atelier/workroom, a bathroom with whirlpool bath, walk-in shower, sauna and custom-made vanity, and a huge climate-controlled wine cellar with plenty of built-in racks.
