Gaastmeer 151423 DC UithoornMeerwijk

***This property is listed by an MVA Certified Expat Broker*** This spacious villa is located in one of the most beautiful spots of Uithoorn in Meerwijk East. Nestled amidst a water-rich environment and surrounded by lush greenery, it is just a stone's throw away from the Amstel river and the UNESCO "Fort aan de Drecht". The property is set on a large plot of land and features an attached garage (with its own driveway!), 5 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms. One of the bedrooms, with an en-suite bathroom, is located on the ground floor. Accordingly, single-story living is possible here! The town of Uithoorn is situated directly on the Amstel river. In the immediate vicinity of the house, there's a shopping centre catering to all daily needs. A bit further in the town centre you will find the marina, accommodating both large and small pleasure boats. There are plenty of shops, restaurants, and schools within walking distance or biking distance. Uithoorn has excellent accessibility. It borders Amstelveen, where the "Stadshart", a downtown shopping centre, and an international school are located. Uithoorn is only about 20 minutes by car from Amsterdam and 30 minutes from Utrecht. Quick access to all highways is provided by the N201, and you can get to Schiphol in just 15 minutes. There are excellent bus connections, and next year Uithoorn will also be connected to the fast tram network heading towards Amsterdam and Station Zuid. FLOOR PLAN The entrance with canopy is accessed through the front garden. You are welcomed into a spacious hall with a staircase and a loft. The hall offers ample cloakroom facilities and a guest toilet. There's plenty of natural light streaming in through the dormer and the hall is nicely finished with a parquet floor. From the hall, you enter the spacious, light-filled living room. This room features a Boley fireplace and a lovely parquet floor. Large windows at both the front and back provide pleasant daylight. The size of the living room makes it ideal for multiple seating arrangements and a dining table. In 2002, the house was extended and a spacious Siematic kitchen was added. This kitchen can be accessed either through the conservatory or the living room. It comes with all necessary appliances featuring cherry finish and a granite countertop (including Siemens refrigerator, freezer, and extractor hood, Bosch dishwasher, and Atag oven, microwave, and 5-burner gas hob). Two skylights provide extra daylight and one of them can be opened. From the kitchen, there's also access to the conservatory which could potentially be used as a play area or office. From the central hall, you can reach the ground-floor bedroom. Having its own en-suite bathroom, it could be used for single-story living, possibly also as guest accommodation. The bathroom features a corner bath with a shower, a towel radiator, a floating toilet, plus two sinks and has a window for that much sought-after daylight. Through the central hall, you also reach the utility room (storage) with central heating setup, very practical pantry, and a white-goods connection. Lastly, you enter the attached garage which provides even more storage and parking space. On the first floor, a broad landing bathed in daylight leads to all rooms, including the attic. You'll find here 4 spacious bedrooms and a second bathroom. All bedrooms have dormer windows and are large enough for a double bed and wardrobe. The bathroom features a shower cubicle, toilet, double sinks, towel radiator, and a skylight. There are also two walk-in closets on this floor that are equipped with electrics. The attic, accessible through a folding ladder, runs the length of the house and provides plenty of storage space. Garden/outdoor space: The meticulously maintained garden was professionally landscaped in 2017. It has a lawn, various plants, and a permanently green hedge dividing the property. You also have your own driveway, very handy if you (plan to) drive an electric car. The backyard borders the water and enjoys a prime south-east exposure, but thanks to its large size, it is sunny throughout the entire day. The very well upkept garden also features diverse plants, a few beautiful trees, a lot of consistent greenery, and garden lighting. Additionally, it offers several seating areas, a pond, a storage shed, and practical bike coverage.
