The entire ground floor features continuous travertine marble flooring with underfloor heating, creating a comfortable and luxurious atmosphere.

It is heated and features an electrically operated, insulated garage door with a separate walk-through door and direct access to the garden. There is also a water softening system with a booster pump, which contributes to extra comfort, constant water pressure, and reduced limescale buildup.

On-site parking is available for multiple cars, including a charging station that can be controlled via an app and efficiently utilizes the energy generated by the solar panels. The home is also equipped with a professional alarm system featuring glass break detection and security on doors and windows.

Garden
The garden serves as a natural extension of the home and was entirely designed and landscaped by landscape architect Martin Veltkamp. The layout, featuring multiple terraces, ensures that there is a pleasant spot in the sun or shade at any time of day. The garden is characterized by mature plants and various types of trees, providing privacy and a lush, inviting atmosphere. The garden is equipped with an integrated Rainbird irrigation system.

The villa is situated on a corner by the waterway, creating a sense of openness and freedom. The combination of water, vegetation, and carefully placed lighting makes the garden particularly atmospheric in the evening. Recessed spotlights have been installed around the house and in the outdoor alcove to subtly accentuate the entire space.

The private island is accessible via a high-quality hardwood bridge made of Haasnoot and forms a unique spot on the water. The island is also attractively lit and contributes to the exclusive ambiance.
At the rear of the garden, directly adjacent to the garage, there is an 8-meter-wide dock, ideal for a small boat, with direct access to various Dutch waterways. The garden also features a veranda with heaters and electrically operated screens, allowing you to comfortably enjoy the outdoors all season long.
