For this reason, De Bilt is geared to being able to offer all desirable facilities itself and therefore has child/ toddler care, consultation bureau, schools, health centers, care for the elderly, an (indoor) swimming pool, sports hall, shopping centers, etc., and all in a relatively small community. This means that for the residents of De Bilt everything you want or need is nearby. De Bilt is right in the middle of the Netherlands, which is why the KNMI and the RIVM have their residence here. From the small bedroom of Looydijk 36 the 'weather tower' with radar ball of the KNMI is visible. This means, that the whole of the Netherlands, by car or public transport, is quickly and easily accessible from De Bilt.

There is free parking right out front. One end of the street borders the forests of the Utrecht countryside, which include a huge dog-walking area, and the other end opens onto the Hessenweg, which is De Bilt's shopping street, with (takeaway) restaurants, supermarkets, stores, cozy restaurants and bus stops from where you can "bus" to Utrecht or Bilthoven station. The Looydijk itself also has some stores, a snack bar, an AH, and a really great takeaway pizzeria!

Number 36 is a house built in 1931, with a large front garden (with charming pond with frogs) and a deep backyard (20 meters) with beautiful trees. It has a pleasant characteristic appearance. plot size: 183 m2 living area: 105 m2 content: 332 m3 energy label G Layout downstairs: - hall / corridor with stairs to 1st floor, cupboard and toilet. - bright living room with bay window, fireplace and glass sliding doors overlooking and leading to the backyard. - Kitchen with tiled pantry with washing machine connection and close connection to the barn with attached coal shed. Layout second floor: landing with fixed staircase to attic room, fitted wardrobe, 2 bedrooms with fitted wardrobes and storage space under the sloping roofs, a bedroom with a sloping roof, bathroom with space-saving sliding door, and bath. Layout attic: a front (storage) space under the sloping roofs and a bright attic room with a Velux tilt window. The house was recently abandoned by its second occupant, who lived there for almost 70 years. Time has stood still there a bit. And that has left its charm behind. At the same time, the house has been exposed to the ravages of time and its occupant has done little to counteract it, and you can see that. So now to be perfectly honest: this house needs quite a bit of extra "love" to become a home that meets all modern requirements and desires. It has ample opportunities to expand for additional living or practice space, and the potential to transform into a spacious and convenient family or business home. The simple layout of the house and the spacious plot it sits on make such a makeover all the more easy. It demands a renovation, which requires an investment from the buyer. On the other hand, there is now the opportunity to create a house entirely to your own taste and needs in a more than great location, which you will be happy with for a long time to come. To best support you as an interested party in your choice, we have done preliminary work. So we have the report of an architectural inspection, we have requested tips for making the house more energy efficient, we have a quote from a good and affordable contractor for modernizing the house, and we have information about the municipal subsidy scheme (BENG) that financially supports making the house more energy efficient. Whether you are looking to get started with your young family, whether you are a middle-aged vibrant, active and entrepreneurial person, or whether you are looking for a nice place to slow down, this home is a unique opportunity. Make an appointment for a viewing and be surprised by the possibilities this house has to offer. We would like to welcome you.
