To say that this detached, exquisitely designed villa offers beautiful living on a spacious lot in the rolling hills of Limburg is an understatement. The villa was designed and built in the late 1970s based on a concept by architect Starren. A key element of the design is the undulating landscape. In many places both inside and outside the house, the architect has embraced the beautiful views.
Layout:
Ground Floor:
The villa features a highly varied and playful layout. The current owner uses it as a residence with a workspace, located in the spacious practice area on the ground floor. The property is accessible via a paved driveway. The driveway offers space for parking multiple vehicles. Covered entrance to the reception hall. From the reception hall, there is access to the two separate practice rooms currently used as a beauty salon. Utility room with mechanical systems. The indoor garage is equipped with two electrically operated sectional doors. The spacious garage offers parking for three vehicles. The utility room/storage area, located directly adjacent to the garage, is accessible from the garage. This space serves as the mechanical room for the indoor swimming pool. The fully tiled pool area is accessible via a spiral staircase from the master bedroom upstairs, as well as from the indoor garage. The pool measures approximately 45 m². This area also includes a separate restroom and shower room.
Level +1:
One floor up, accessible via the spiral staircase from the entrance hall, lies the entire living area. An open hallway with a few steps on the right leads to the semi-open kitchen, and on the left to the living room. Generous windows on all facades allow plenty of natural light to flood in. The combination of the sloping wooden ceiling and the roofline, paired with “maple” parquet flooring, enhances the living experience and creates a harmonious atmosphere. The kitchen is arranged in a corner layout and equipped with various built-in appliances. A staircase from the living room leads to the cozy sitting room one floor up, which features a loft. The living room features a cozy gas fireplace.
The sleeping areas are connected to the living room and kitchen via a hallway lined with windows on both sides. A beautifully tiled half-bathroom. Three bedrooms, some of which feature built-in closets. A spiral staircase leads from the master bedroom down to the pool at ground level. The tasteful and luxurious bathroom is finished with high-quality materials and accessible from the hallway. First, there is a spacious walk-in closet with built-in cabinetry, followed by access to the bathroom. This has been recently fitted with a wall-hung toilet, a walk-in shower with a tempered glass screen, a freestanding bathtub, and a bathroom vanity featuring a full-width sink with a mirrored wall. The walls and floor feature a distinctive finish with large, ultra-thin ceramic tiles laid seamlessly. Finally, ceiling lighting with elegant recessed spotlights has been installed. The bathroom features underfloor heating. From each of the living areas, there is a direct connection to the exterior of the villa and a magnificent view of the rolling hills and the architecturally landscaped garden. Surrounding the villa are exquisitely landscaped terraces where one can enjoy the sun or shade. A water feature in an elongated concrete element with a wooden deck tastefully completes the ensemble. The beautiful fig trees are a true eye-catcher in the garden. The garden is also accessible from the front and side.
Details:
The villa has been thoughtfully designed and lovingly maintained. Solar panels (27 units, 405 Wp per panel, owned), aluminum window frames with insulated glass. The home is heated partly by radiators and partly by forced-air heating. The main roof was insulated and re-tiled 14 years ago. The flat roofs were very recently insulated and renovated. The villa is located in the parish village of Simpelveld at Bouwensstraat 25 in the Hulserveld. Simpelveld is one of the seven municipalities that together form Parkstad. The center of Simpelveld offers an excellent selection of shops and restaurants. The centers of Heerlen and Aachen are a short distance away. Excellent access to major roads and a popular location for hiking and cycling enthusiasts.
