Ultimate Luxury – Hotel-Chic Villa on Open Water (A++++) Set on the edge of the elegant new residential district of Franeker-Zuid, this striking detached villa (2023) enjoys a prime location directly on open water. A residence where refinement, comfort, and design converge, executed with uncompromising attention to detail. Nothing has been spared: energy-neutral living, low-maintenance exteriors, contemporary tilt-and-turn windows, underfloor heating and cooling, luxurious façade finishes in a timeless palette, an architectural design with a bold modern risalit, sleek plastered walls, and a master suite with walk-in dressing room. The bespoke kitchen showcases premium craftsmanship, while the year-round garden room extends the living space seamlessly outdoors. A professionally landscaped garden with an extra-deep hardwood jetty completes this remarkable waterfront estate. GROUND FLOOR A spacious entrance hall welcomes you with an elegant guest cloakroom, gallery staircase and access to both the utility room and the main living areas. The living room, positioned towards the sheltered garden, creates a warm and intimate atmosphere and blends harmoniously with the light-filled kitchen-diner, forming an open-plan yet versatile living concept. The bespoke kitchen, situated at the front, is a true culinary statement, fitted with robust ceramic countertops, coffee station, dishwasher, combi oven, large Bora induction hob with integrated extractor, Quooker, and built-in fridge-freezer. The adjoining sitting area is designed for elegant comfort. The garden room is an all-season retreat. With a fully opening glass façade, indoors and outdoors merge effortlessly. In summer, it provides the ultimate alfresco experience, while in the cooler months it transforms into a stylish lounge with electric heating. The utility room houses the advanced heat pump system with 190-litre boiler and laundry connections. The whisper-quiet air-source heat pump is discreetly placed outside. Throughout the ground floor, a refined laminate floor with underfloor heating and cooling ensures both style and comfort. FIRST FLOOR The first floor comprises three generously proportioned bedrooms, including the master suite with a luxury walk-in dressing room. The bathroom is of true boutique-hotel calibre: flooded with natural light, featuring a spacious walk-in rain shower, designer double vanity, and lavatory. Every element is finished with refined detailing and high-end materials. This floor also enjoys luxury flooring with underfloor heating and cooling. SECOND FLOOR A fixed staircase leads to the expansive second floor, bathed in light from a large Velux skylight. This versatile open space offers a wealth of possibilities: additional bedrooms, a private study, or even a second bathroom – the choice is yours. STORAGE At the rear, the villa adjoins a spacious, partly insulated wooden storage unit – ideal for bicycles, garden equipment and water sports essentials. GARDEN & PLOT The landscaped grounds are designed with an eye for elegance and privacy. Surrounding the villa, mature plantings, inviting terraces, and a wide driveway for two cars create a refined outdoor setting. A lockable gate leads to the garden and waterfront. The 15-metre hardwood jetty, set slightly lower for easy access, is a true highlight – ideal for mooring your boat, enjoying water sports, or creating a private waterfront lounge. Thanks to the lush greenery, the garden guarantees both seclusion and a perfect balance of sun and shade.
