Busken Huetplein 1

Situated in one of the most desirable locations in Hilversum’s highly sought-after Schrijverskwartier, directly overlooking the green and charming Busken Huetplein, this exceptionally spacious semi-detached corner house offers a rare combination of space, comfort, character, and versatility. Complete with off-street parking, and generous outdoor areas, it is an ideal home for larger families, remote workers, or anyone looking to combine living and working under one roof.
Built in 1929 to a design by architect W. Reeders, the property forms part of an attractive architectural ensemble surrounding the landscaped central green of Busken Huetplein. Positioned at the highest point of the development, the house enjoys a beautiful setting overlooking the communal green, with a high degree of privacy and unobstructed views to the front.
One of the property's standout features is its exceptional outdoor space. At the front, the house benefits from an unusually large garden for the neighbourhood, while the sunny and sheltered rear garden, complete with rear access, provides a wonderful place to relax and enjoy outdoor living. Thanks to its favourable orientation, there is always a choice between sun and shade throughout the day, and the sheltered position often allows outdoor seating even in the early months of the year.
What truly sets this property apart is its unique cadastral arrangement. The house comprises two registered addresses: Busken Huetplein 1 and De Genestetlaan 13. Originally, number 13 formed the garage and two upper floors of the main residence. It was later subdivided for office use, and today residential use is permitted on both addresses, creating an exceptionally flexible layout.
Over the past fifteen years, the property has been extensively renovated and modernised while carefully preserving its original 1930s character and architectural details. An additional spiral staircase has been installed to improve accessibility throughout the house. The separate entrance at De Genestetlaan 13 also offers excellent opportunities for a home office, professional practice, au pair accommodation, independent living space for an older child, or guest accommodation.
With six bedrooms and three additional multifunctional rooms, this home offers substantially more space than a typical 1930s family house. While many comparable properties provide only a limited number of bedrooms, Busken Huetplein 1 comfortably accommodates a large family while still offering ample room for a guest suite, hobby room, gym, media room, or additional workspace.
