Valuation

The early twentieth-century villa with iron boundary fence is of general importance because of its architectural and cultural-historical value as a representative and intact example of a villa erected in chalet style with Art Nouveau influence, characteristic of the building period. The villa is visually dominant situated in the villa park 'De Boomberg' and forms an ensemble with the adjacent property P.C. Hooftlaan 1 in the same building style.
