A once in a lifetime opportunity! Villa De Boschkant in Park Meerwijk in Bergen is for sale! Anyone who has ever strolled along one of Bergen's many leafy avenues may be familiar with the protected villagescape known as Park Meerwijk. The houses in this remarkable villa quarter, one even more idyllic than the other, are typical of the style of the Amsterdamse School and have a great location on the outskirts of Bergen. In 1916, the Amsterdam industrialist and tile trader Arnold Heystee commissioned a young team of four architects to design Park Meerwijk. In their design for the 16 country houses, they were given a completely free hand, on the condition that Heystee's tiles would be widely used in the interiors. A nice historical detail, which can still be seen in this property! Villa De Boschkant was developed by architect C.J. Blaauw and is in amazing condition both inside and out. On the outside, we see the wavy lines of the thatched roof; the yellow-coloured window frames and the beautiful wooden elements against a robust base of red bricks. On the inside, we can see the authentic colours reflected in the window frames and ceilings, which form a beautiful ensemble with the original tiles and the stained-glass windows. It is evident in everything that this house has been maintained with an enormous amount of attention and respect for the original design! The villa features a bright living room with a separate lounge/dining room, an enclosed kitchen and 4 bedrooms. There is also a detached outbuilding/summer house located on the plot with self-catering facilities and 2 bedrooms. This summer house is extremely suitable for receiving or renting out to guests! Will you grab this unique opportunity with both hands and are you ready to call this monumental house with a rich history your home? Then contact us soon for a viewing of this great spot! About the location and the neighbourhood: Bergen is a lively village with many restaurants, shops, supermarkets and specialty shops. The city centre is within walking distance of the property. There are several primary and secondary schools in the village, as well as several sports clubs. By bike or bus, you can be in the city centre of Alkmaar within 15-20 minutes, with an even wider range of amenities available there. And in the opposite direction, the beach at Bergen aan Zee can be reached within the same time! As the property is located at the edge of the village, you only need to walk a short distance out of the street before you reach the vast forest and dune area that surrounds Bergen. You therefore experience a wonderful holiday feeling here all year round where you can fully enjoy the nearby woods, dunes and the North Sea beach. And all that at only 40 km from Amsterdam!
