Phenomenal country home set on a large plot with an outdoor swimming pool, total privacy and surrounded by nature. Spacious and luxury family home with no less than 3 living rooms, 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms. Where? In the middle of the natural splendor of wooded Aerdenhout, on the quiet stretch of the lane and in a central location relative to the beach and downtown Haarlem. This expansive family villa is beautifully positioned on the lot, so that all rooms open to the fabulous wrap-around garden. The property showcases stunning authentic architectural details including stained glass (triple glazing, so equal to IG glazing), charming arched windows, shutters, oak herringbone parquet flooring, beam ceilings and even the original doorbell. The excellent layout and spacious dimensions make this an ideal family home. There are 4 generous living areas and a utility room on the ground-floor level. The first floor accommodates a total of 5 bedrooms and a walk-in closet. The second floor features a laundry room and storage. The home also includes a basement with a sauna and wine cellar. The pool house includes a large sauna, pantry and a bathroom. The original villa was built in 1934 according to architectural plans drafted by country estate architect Jan Rebel. In 2005, the house was expanded, with architect Hein Warnaars adding a fairytale tower with basement, bedroom and extra bathroom. The location is fantastic, perfectly secluded among the trees, for ultimate privacy in a super-central location.
