When you are the former director of a brand as popular as Action, you have the means to afford a little gem for a house and ultimately not live there.
Hans van Hattem is the former purchasing director of Action stores, but you won’t find any low-cost items from the brand in the house he built in the Netherlands. Situated on the waterfront in Vinkeveen, it offers exceptional views of the so-called “Amsterdam lakes” and features only high-end features. With the help of designer Bertram Beerbaum from KABAZ, the businessman demolished an old house originally on the plot to create an exceptional villa that can be described in superlatives. Real estate agent Christie’s International Real Estate assures you, “you can’t help but be impressed.”
A living room almost 6 meters high, an ultra-modern kitchen, six bedrooms and their bathrooms are spread over the 841 m² of living space of the house. And that’s not all, the property offers a sauna and an indoor swimming pool, a fitness room and a cinema room for leisure. The current owner being a car collector, the house also has a garage for at least 12 vehicles which can be viewed from the house itself. A boathouse is also available to be able to navigate the waters of the lake and enjoy the exceptional nature in complete autonomy.
Style-wise, nothing ostentatious despite the price of the villa. The materials are elegant and timeless with marble, stone and wood as well as neutral colors as a common thread. But what attracts the most attention is the energy class of the house. This is awarded a grade of A+++, an exceptional score, especially for a construction of this standard. The owner was very keen that the house be as beautiful as it was durable.
Completed about a year ago, the house is already for sale for the modest sum of 12 million euros and potential buyers came forward without delay. According to the real estate agent, the former director of Action would not have lived there and the property is almost new.
