Monumental Grandeur and Contemporary Comfort in Utrecht-East
Located on the stately, tree-lined Koningslaan, this impressive 1903 townhouse combines soul, history, and exceptional space. Offering a generous living area of 330 m² across four full floors, plus a deep, sunny southeast-facing rear garden, it is a rare opportunity for those seeking elegant, spacious living in one of Utrecht’s finest neighborhoods.
Rich history, beautifully preserved This striking home retains its authentic early 20th-century character, with numerous preserved period details: ornate ceilings, tall paneled doors, stained glass, marble fireplaces, fine wood floors, and a monumental staircase. From the moment you enter the vestibule with original tiles and stained glass, you feel the grandeur of a bygone era — yet the house has been updated for comfortable modern family life.
Layout Behind the double stained-glass entrance lies a grand hall with a guest toilet and access to the cellar. The impressive en suite living and dining room features 3.5-meter ceilings, intricate plasterwork, and large windows. The rear sitting area extends into a bright conservatory with French doors to the sun terrace and the garden. Adjacent is a spacious separate kitchen, offering the possibility of a luxurious live-in kitchen.
The upper floors house nine spacious bedrooms of varying sizes, a modern bathroom, an extra separate shower, and even an additional kitchen on the top floor. Ample storage, several balconies (one enjoying evening sun and park views), and a top-floor living room with skylight provide enormous versatility — ideal for a large family, working from home, or even dual occupancy.
Garden The southeast-facing rear garden is unusually deep for Utrecht, ensuring excellent privacy, and features mature landscaping, a terrace, and a separate storage shed. It is the perfect setting to relax, garden, or dine al fresco.
Location Koningslaan is one of the most beautiful avenues in Utrecht-East, directly by Wilhelminapark and within walking or cycling distance of all amenities: international schools, childcare, sports clubs, shops, restaurants, and coffee bars. Utrecht city center and the Central Station are reachable within 10 minutes, and major motorways (A12, A27, A28) are also easily accessed.
