Grenspad 32 1271 XR Huizen

Detached living surrounded by greenery, offering peace, privacy, and exceptional potential

Enjoy detached-style living in a green setting, with peace, privacy, and ample opportunities to extend and fully modernize the home to your own taste. This charming semi-detached 1930s house occupies a beautiful corner position in a quiet, leafy, and highly sought-after residential area of Huizen, directly adjacent to the hockey fields and surrounded by mature trees and nature.

The property benefits from a wonderful front and side garden, as well as private parking on its own driveway.

In practice, the house feels considerably more spacious than the current measured living area suggests. The existing storage building (22 m²) offers the possibility of being incorporated into the living accommodation, as has been done with several neighboring properties. This concerns the rear section, which is generally exempt from planning permission under certain conditions. (Buyers are advised to conduct their own investigations regarding any required approvals, construction regulations, and permits.)

Opening up the kitchen would also dramatically change the overall feel and layout of the home. In addition, the property features a large attic floor (16 m²) which is currently not included in the official living area because the existing window is too small to meet the measurement requirements. By installing a dormer or larger window, substantial additional usable living space can easily be created.

Thanks to its free-standing position, charming architecture, and generous sense of plot size, this property offers a rare combination of character, space, and potential.

The structure of the home is solid, although modernization is required to meet contemporary living standards. Precisely for this reason, the property presents a unique opportunity to create a beautiful family home entirely to your own taste in an exceptionally attractive location.

LOCATION

The property is situated on a quiet street with virtually only local traffic, in a green and highly desirable residential area of Huizen. The broad avenues, mature trees, green hedges, and spacious layout create an almost park-like atmosphere.

The hockey fields and various sports facilities are located directly beside the property. In addition, the Naardereng nature reserve, walking trails, and recreational opportunities are literally around the corner. The Gooimeer lake and the Nautical Quarter are also within easy cycling distance.

The historic village center of Huizen, with its shops, restaurants, cafés, and schools, is close by as well. What makes this location particularly attractive is the combination of tranquility, space, and excellent accessibility to Amsterdam, Utrecht, Hilversum, and the wider Gooi region.

ACCESSIBILITY

The property enjoys a convenient location with easy access to the A1, A6, and A27 motorways, as well as several regional roads. Public transport connections are excellent, providing easy access to Hilversum, Naarden-Bussum, Amsterdam, and surrounding areas.

LAYOUT
Ground Floor

A generous front garden with an elegant entrance and a beautifully landscaped side garden, made possible by the corner position. The garden is attractively enclosed by mature hedges and features several terraces, ensuring there is always a pleasant spot to enjoy either sun or shade.

French doors from the living room open directly onto the side terrace. Beyond the garden is the private driveway with off-street parking, and an additional terrace behind it.

The central entrance leads into the hallway with staircase to the first floor. At the rear of the property is the separate kitchen, fitted with various built-in appliances. Adjacent is a practical utility area with a toilet, washbasin, and connections for a washing machine and dryer.

From here there is access to the storage area (approx. 22 m²), divided into front and rear sections. While currently not classified as living space, it offers excellent opportunities for incorporation into the home. (Buyers should conduct their own investigations regarding the possibilities and applicable regulations.) The storage area also provides access to the side terrace and driveway.

The living room is bright and inviting thanks to the abundance of windows and the property’s open position. At the front, there are attractive views over the green garden and quiet street. The seating area is located at the rear, and the French doors provide direct access to the terrace and side garden.

The property also benefits from an under-stair storage cupboard and a small cellar (approx. 7 m²), ideal for additional storage.

First Floor

Landing.

The bathroom is fitted with a shower, toilet, vanity unit, and natural daylight.

This floor comprises three well-proportioned bedrooms. One of the bedrooms enjoys unobstructed views over the hockey fields and surrounding greenery.

A fixed staircase from the landing leads to the attic floor.

Second Floor / Attic

Spacious open attic floor (approx. 16 m²) offering surprisingly generous space and extensive storage beneath the roof ridge.

This floor presents excellent possibilities for a home office, hobby room, or additional bedroom. By adding a larger window or a dormer at the rear, additional usable floor area can easily be created. A rear dormer is generally exempt from planning permission, although buyers should verify the applicable regulations themselves. Several neighboring properties have already implemented similar alterations.

Optional floor plans are available. Any alternative floor plans shown are indicative only and intended purely for inspiration. No rights may be derived from these illustrations.

GARDEN

The property features generous front, side, and rear gardens with abundant greenery, privacy, and multiple terraces. The corner position creates a wonderful sense of openness and freedom around the home. Mature planting and green hedges provide a sheltered and highly attractive outdoor setting.
