“Mid Slangevegt” is an authentic and, above all, unique detached “vechthuis” situated directly on the beautiful Vecht River, with its own garden. This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity allows you to acquire this unique property, which features a spacious 1,310 m² lot and a private slipway for a large boat. There’s even a private boat hoist for your vessel! There is ample parking on the property (the front yard has been beautifully landscaped and features plenty of parking space). The lot also includes a spacious outbuilding (formerly a garage) that has been converted into a fully furnished guesthouse.
This delightful detached villa is beautifully situated between the villages of Breukelen and Maarssen, making it an ideal base for families with children, who can easily cycle to Breukelen and/or Maarssen. But its central location between Utrecht and Amsterdam is certainly a major plus as well. You can be in Utrecht or Amsterdam within 30 minutes.
Mid Slangevegt is a typical 1930s home, carefully and robustly built with an eye for detail and featuring the many beautiful details and architectural features of that era. They certainly knew what they were building back then!
The house features a distinctive pyramid roof with a beautiful “overhang” and, on the Vecht side, an eye-catching veranda. This is a hallmark of the house that many in the Vecht region will certainly recognize. From the Vecht, the house is clearly visible in all its glory.
Layout: Through the large front door, you are welcomed into the vestibule (entrance hall). A large pivot door with original glasswork provides access to the central hall, which is also the heart of the house with its beautiful oak staircase.
Here you will find a restroom with a shower, the stairwell closet with a small storage area, the passageway to the kitchen, and two doors leading to the former en-suite living room. The hall is beautifully adorned with large, original marble tiles. As mentioned, the spacious living room was formerly divided by the en-suite into two sitting rooms, one on the street side and one on the Vecht side. Now it is one large living room featuring a fireplace and an old oak floor. The sunroom, which was later added to the south side of the house, is accessible through the living room. From this beautiful, spacious living room, you have a stunning view of the garden, the lovely surroundings, and especially the river “the Vecht.”
The kitchen is accessible from the hallway. The kitchen is now a separate kitchen-dining room with a door leading to the veranda.
The kitchen features an original built-in cupboard, a cooking area (gas), a countertop with a sink, and plenty of cabinet space.
Adjacent to the kitchen is the utility room, which offers ample space for additional storage, refrigerators, and possibly even the washer and dryer. The boiler room is also located here. The veranda is accessible via the kitchen. Here, you can enjoy both indoor and outdoor living throughout all seasons. In early spring, you can soak up the first rays of sunshine, and in the late evening hours, you can still sit under cover. Pure enjoyment!
Upper Floor: The beautiful oak staircase leads to the upper floor. Here you’ll find the master bedroom, a large additional bedroom at the front, a smaller room currently housing the washing machine, and a study that shares the dormer window with the master bedroom. There is also a spacious bathroom here, equipped with a bathtub, shower, and a vanity unit with two sinks. From the landing, a loft ladder leads to the very spacious attic.
Outbuilding: The original garage has been converted into a small apartment. It features its own kitchen, a small bathroom, a spacious bedroom, and a lovely living room. Ideal for older children who want their own space or for guests. The outbuilding has its own central heating system, which is outdated. A spacious storage area in the attic is also accessible via a loft ladder.
Shed: A spacious and well-maintained shed is located on the left side of the house. The shed is equipped with electricity, and an additional “man cave” seating area has been created next to it. There is ample storage space here, along with a small bar and an outdoor kitchenette. The 10 solar panels are mounted on this long, flat roof.
Garden: The surrounding garden provides sunshine all day long. From the rising sun on the Vecht side to the late afternoon/setting sun from the west, you’ll always find the perfect spot here in the garden. The long Vechtkade offers ample space for mooring your boat. Of course, you can also moor your boat or an additional boat in your own private slipway, ensuring it is always safely and conveniently stored. The ideal home for water sports enthusiasts.
In short: a wonderfully charming and, above all, distinctive and authentic Vecht home in a special location next to the beautiful country estate “Slangevegt” (great restaurant).
