Description
A Unique, Detached Monumental Villa on the De Paauw Estate
An extraordinary combination of history, architecture, and modern living comfort at Raadhuislaan 1A in Wassenaar.
Situated in one of Wassenaar’s most exceptional locations—right on the historic De Paauw estate—stands this unique, detached monumental villa. It is an exceptional residence where over two hundred years of history blend seamlessly with contemporary luxury, comfort, and sustainability.
The distinctive property dates back to around 1800 and is registered as a National Monument (Rijksmonument no. ******). Originally, it served as a tea pavilion and gatekeeper’s lodge for the historic De Paauw estate. In 1859, the building was renovated by architect H.H.A. Wentzel. After Prince Frederick of the Netherlands acquired De Paauw in 1838, this remarkable building also became part of the royal estate's history.
Today, the monument has been fully renovated, beautifully combining its historic character with contemporary living comforts and high-quality finishes.
Living with Distinction
The villa stands detached on a plot of approximately 700 m² and offers ample private parking. Access to the secluded grounds is provided via an electronic gate.
Upon entering, the unique layout immediately catches the eye. The ground floor features, among other things, a spacious, luxury open-plan kitchen, two large bedrooms, and two modern bathrooms. Both bedrooms benefit from en-suite bathrooms with toilets. There is also a separate toilet.
The kitchen features a modern design and is equipped with high-end built-in appliances. Its open connection to the living area creates a pleasant, spacious living environment. A staircase leads to the first floor, home to the absolute heart of the residence: an impressively spacious and light-filled living area featuring a very high ceiling. Expansive windows flood the space with natural light and enhance the sense of openness.
A distinctive architectural feature is the mezzanine, which is perfectly suited for use as an office, art studio, workspace, or creative hub. The versatile possibilities make this property ideal for combining comfortable living with working from home.
A spacious terrace wraps around the first floor, creating a seamless and unique connection between indoor and outdoor living.
An attic space above the main living area provides ideal storage.
Additionally, the property includes a spacious shed of approximately 20 m², offering ample practical storage space.
A historic feel with modern comfort
The home has been fully renovated and holds an 'A' energy label, successfully blending its historic character with modern energy efficiency.
The combination of authentic heritage, a secluded setting, generous outdoor space, a high-quality renovation, and unique architecture makes this a truly exceptional property that stands apart from the standard market offering.
