Villa Bergen National Monument stands as a testament to early twentieth-century architectural ingenuity and serenity at the forest's edge. This villa in Bergen, designed in 1918 by J.B. van Loghem, celebrates the interplay of geometric form and organic detail. With 267 m² of living space, five bedrooms, and two bathrooms, the property offers a rare combination of presence, provenance, and liveability.
Approached by a generous driveway, the thatched roof and original brickwork make an immediate impression. The interior is marked by solid oak floors, original fireplaces, and period-built cabinetry, providing a preserved sense of history while integrating contemporary comforts. The kitchen, outfitted with Bosch and AEG appliances, opens onto a sunlit terrace and deep landscaped grounds. Utility areas, a bay-windowed living room, and a TV room all emphasize spatial fluidity and light, with underfloor heating serving select zones.
Ascending the broad staircase, the first floor offers four bedrooms, two balconies, and a dedicated study with its own fireplace. The second floor delivers flexible space for further bedrooms, hobbies, or guests. The distinguished tower room, part of the villa's architectural heritage, grants panoramic views and a tangible connection to stories of stargazing and artistic gathering.
Insulation to roof and floors, as well as partial double glazing and eight solar panels, reflect ongoing stewardship. A hybrid heating system, charging station, and a spacious garage add climate-conscious practicality. Set on a 1,310 m² plot with carefully tended garden spaces, mature trees, and multiple terraces, the villa cultivates a rare privacy amid nature, yet remains connected to Bergen’s cultural center, esteemed schools, and the North Sea coast, only 4 km away.
At Villa Bergen National Monument, eligible owners also benefit from attractive subsidies and restoration funds for further sustainability, safeguarding its architectural legacy for generations.
