The house has 4 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and a large attic with several rooms. The garden is spacious and surrounds the home. The driveway is suitable for parking several cars.
The country house was built in 1927 in a style characteristic of the construction period (Amsterdam School) with staggered gables and roofs. It is part of a series of country houses on Laapersweg designed by architect N. Andriessen. Although the colors of the mansion are not the original colors, the use of color is striking yet harmonious. Given that these are the colors of Dudok-designed buildings in the vicinity. Think of the old pumping station and the tribune Sportpark (with the recently renovated athletics track).
Almost all the original details are still present in the house. To mention are the fireplace with unique masonry and display cabinet, the fixed wooden bench in the living room, striking door frames, special tiles, en-suite doors, the stained-glass windows, the authentic kitchen with pass-through hatch to the dining room and the extra spaces near the bedrooms.
The mansion is not only very special but also very conveniently located. Within walking distance you will find several schools, including the International School, the ROC and secondary education with atheneum. NS station Sportpark with direct connection to Amsterdam and Utrecht, is located behind the house. In the immediate vicinity are stores, business and sports area Arenapark, a vast forest/heathland (Goois Natuurreservaat), restaurants, sports clubs and the lively shopping street 'De Gijsbrecht' as well as the center with its many facilities.
