Description
An exclusive and generously positioned monumental residence, featuring a detached garage with guest accommodation and an almost fully detached residential/office building in the historic centre of Wassenaar.
The property is situated on a plot of approximately 650 m² of freehold land and includes a beautifully landscaped garden offering space for various residential and professional uses.
Wassenaar boasts a distinctive historic town centre, and Berkheistraat 17–21 forms an exceptional part of this heritage. Located at this outstanding site is this authentic and idyllic property, dating back to approximately 1825. The residence immediately stands out due to the abundance of original details, the generous garden layout and the high-quality finish.
Two of the buildings were almost entirely rebuilt in 2010, preserving the authentic character while incorporating modern luxury and comfort.
The property consists of a main residence at Berkheistraat 21, a detached double garage with guest accommodation on the upper floor, and an almost fully detached residential/office building at Berkheistraat 17. The architect-designed garden features attractive terraces, landscaped greenery and winding pathways. The view from the garden towards the historic village church is truly exceptional and captivating.
