Description
Situated in a quiet and child-friendly “Gruneriewijk” area, this beautiful, bright, extended, characteristic semi-detached corner townhouse (built in 1950) sits on a spacious plot of 290 m² with many expansion options (e.g. raising the second floor ridge, extending the first floor at the rear, or converting the integral garage on the ground floor into living space) with on-site parking.
The house features four bedrooms, a spacious kitchen, pantry, two toilets, a bathroom, a second-floor dormer window at the rear, on-site parking, renovated wooden window frames at the front with double glazing, a bright, extended L-shaped living/dining room with access to the integral garage with a spacious attic storage area housing the central heating system (2013), laundry appliances and heating. A beautifully landscaped, approximately 9.80 m wide, leafy, sheltered, and deep (approx. 15 m) back garden faces the sunny west, with detached wooden sheds and an original stone shed with convenient rear access.
After 64 years of loving habitation, the house requires modernization, but you can customize it to your liking.
The house is located in the popular Gruneriebuurt neighborhood, within walking distance of the Lange Voort shopping center, which offers a wide range of shops (including Albert Heijn and Jumbo supermarkets), a lively Tuesday market, and a variety of restaurants and cafes. Also within walking/cycling distance are various sports clubs, including hockey, tennis, soccer, korfball, the Oegstgeester Golf Club, the Poelmeer swimming pool, De Cuyl sports hall, childcare facilities, and several primary and (international) secondary schools, including the Rijnlands Lyceum International School and the American School in Wassenaar, 7.5 kilometers away. Nearby, you'll find institutions and businesses such as the Leiden University Medical Center (LUMC), Bio Science Park, Leiden University, Akzo Nobel, Avery, and ESTEC/ESA. Leiden Central Station and the historic city center are a 10-minute bike ride away, and The Hague, Schiphol Airport, and the boulevards, dunes, sea, and beaches of the seaside resorts of Katwijk, Noordwijk, and Wassenaar are about a 20-minute drive away.
Every year, Oegstgeest is listed in the Top 10 Best Municipalities to Live In and in 2022 was named the best municipality to live in South Holland (source: Elsevier Weekblad) and is the second greenest municipality in the Netherlands.
