Hidden behind the stately façades of Utrecht-Oost lies a truly unique residence: a detached former coach house with adjoining coachman’s residence and garden wing, located in the heart of the city yet surrounded by greenery, tranquility and exceptional privacy.
Originally built around 1880 as part of the distinguished Maliebaan 23 estate, the property has been transformed into an extraordinary urban residence with international appeal. Historic brickwork, impressive ceiling heights, expansive glass façades, reclaimed materials and refined contemporary finishes come together in a home full of character and architectural sophistication. Designed and inhabited by an architect couple, the residence is rooted in craftsmanship, circular design and spatial experience.
The interiors are remarkably bright and open, with generous living spaces seamlessly connected to the surrounding garden through large French doors and expansive windows. Loft-like volumes, long sightlines and carefully selected natural materials create an atmosphere that feels both impressive and intimate. It is a home for those seeking space and serenity without compromising the convenience of city living.
The property offers rare flexibility thanks to the combination of the coach house, former coachman’s residence and garden wing. It is perfectly suited for spacious family living, working from home, an atelier or studio, guest accommodation or an independent living unit. Multiple layout configurations are possible, including several bedrooms with en-suite bathrooms, a master suite with walk-in closet, office or practice space, and even a self-contained apartment setup.
Layout Ground Floor A private entrance leads to the secluded grounds, where the exceptional setting immediately becomes apparent. The spacious living area forms the heart of the home, featuring large windows, multiple French doors to the garden and a centrally positioned kitchen connecting living, dining and cooking areas. Additional rooms can function as office space, guest rooms, atelier or extra bedrooms. Bathrooms, storage spaces and built-in cabinetry are also located on this level.
First Floor The upper floor offers several bedrooms, workspaces and bathrooms. Skylights, mezzanines and the distinctive roof structure create a unique architectural atmosphere with abundant natural light and spatial quality.
Garden, Privacy & Parking Surrounded by a generous private garden, the property feels like a hidden green sanctuary in the city. The secluded position on an inner plot ensures an exceptional level of peace and privacy, while Utrecht’s historic city centre remains within walking distance.
A highly valuable feature is the private on-site parking, including preparations for covered parking and electric vehicle charging.
Location The location is among Utrecht’s most desirable. Situated just around the corner from the iconic Maliebaan, the residence combines historic charm, greenery and urban convenience. The city centre, Wilhelminapark, the Singel canals, restaurants, boutiques, schools and cultural institutions are all nearby, as are Utrecht University, UMC Utrecht and the Utrecht Science Park.
