Villa Ouborg is a 341-square-meter detached villa, built to an architect’s design (2007), and is located directly on the waterfront on a lot of nearly 500 square meters.
A 23-meter-wide glass facade blurs the boundaries between indoors and outdoors. The villa overlooks an ecological corridor. The 3.10-meter-high ceilings create an ultimate sense of spaciousness. There is an abundance of natural light and air in the rooms, with beautiful sightlines. The villa exudes an atmosphere of absolute privacy.
The entrance, featuring a “gentle staircase” leading to the first floor, is situated in a 7-meter-high foyer.
Solid wood double doors lead to a spacious south-facing living room. Here, you’ll find an unobstructed panoramic view of the garden and the water, bordering the ecological nature reserve.
The two fireplaces, the oak herringbone parquet flooring, and the Lutron-controlled lighting design envelop you in warmth and ambiance. The living room, dining area, and library are semi-open and interconnected. The kitchen is fully equipped with three Miele ovens, a warming drawer, a built-in coffee machine, and many other appliances. All rooms in the villa feature radiant floor heating and are insulated to the highest standard.
The first floor features four bedrooms and three bathrooms.
The master bedroom features air conditioning, a spacious walk-in closet, and a generous terrace with sweeping views. This master bedroom has an en-suite bathroom, finished to a high standard with double sinks, a rain shower, a bathtub, a toilet, and a bidet. Of the three additional children’s bedrooms, two have their own bathrooms, built-in closets, and air conditioning.
The fourth bedroom/study can easily be equipped with air conditioning. These three bedrooms share a separate toilet.
The villa also features a separate office or “nanny room” on the ground floor, which has a separate entrance from the street.
A staircase in this room leads down to the basement, which is flooded with natural light. There is a wine cellar (which could easily be converted into a fourth bathroom) and a fitness room/home theater/playroom.
The low-maintenance garden faces south, is situated directly on the water, and offers complete privacy. The garden,
designed by a renowned landscape architect, provides an oasis of greenery throughout all seasons.
The villa is located near sports facilities (golf, tennis, field hockey, cricket, etc.) and shops (Gelderlandplein). International schools are also nearby.
