Schoonzicht is a quiet avenue in the heart of Nieuw-Rhijngeest, a modern, family-friendly neighborhood in Oegstgeest aan de Rijn. Within walking distance, you will find the 'Het Dok' primary school (with childcare facilities), Landskroon Park (featuring walking paths and a water play area), various playgrounds, and a shopping plaza with a supermarket, bakery, drugstore, and hair salon. The town centers of Oegstgeest (Kempenaerstraat and Lange Voort) and Leiden are just a short bike ride away, as are the Bio Science Park, LUMC, Leiden University, and Leiden Central Station. A bicycle and pedestrian bridge over the Old Rhine (Oude Rijn) offers easy cycling access to Valkenburg and the beach at Katwijk. ESTEC (ESA) in Noordwijk, the American School of The Hague in Wassenaar, and the Rijnlands Lyceum are all nearby. With the A44 and the RijnlandRoute just around the corner, you can quickly reach The Hague, Schiphol, or Amsterdam, while the Kagerplassen lakes and the dunes of Katwijk, Noordwijk, and Wassenaar offer easy access to water and nature.
Every year, Oegstgeest ranks in the Top 10 Best Municipalities to live in, and was named the best municipality to live in in South Holland in 2022 (source: Elsevier Weekblad), and is the second greenest municipality in the Netherlands.
Layout
Wide north-facing front garden and a covered entrance with a canopy. Spacious hallway featuring a coat area, meter cupboard, under-stair storage, and a modern wall-mounted toilet with a small washbasin. The deep, light-filled living-dining room boasts a 3-meter ceiling height and solid oak flooring. At the front, there is an attractive bay window with extensive glazing and French doors opening onto the front garden (an optional upgrade during construction); at the rear, the dining area and open-plan kitchen feature French doors leading to the veranda and garden.
The elevated, U-shaped Barthen Design kitchen is equipped with a Bora induction cooktop with integrated extractor (vented externally), Miele oven, Miele combination microwave, Liebherr refrigerator and freezer, Miele dishwasher with AutoDos/PowerDisk, Quooker tap, and a concealed docking station for a robot vacuum cleaner. The entire ground floor features underfloor heating and cooling.
First floor
A comfortable, wide staircase leads to the spacious landing. There are three spacious bedrooms; the master bedroom at the front features French doors opening onto a balcony. Oak flooring, underfloor heating, and underfloor cooling are present throughout this level as well. The luxury bathroom is equipped with a spacious walk-in shower, a bathtub, a toilet, and a double vanity unit.
Second floor
A second, easy-to-climb staircase leads to the spacious landing. At the front of the landing is an open area with a dormer window; currently used for drying laundry, it would also make an ideal workspace or reading nook. A skylight and a separate ladder provide access from the landing to the flat roof, which houses 17 solar panels. At the front, there is a spacious room with a high ceiling and a dormer window; at the rear, a second spacious room with a high ceiling. Also at the rear is a third room—currently serving as storage space via an open doorway—which could easily be converted into a full-fledged bedroom by installing a door. The laundry room features a washing machine connection, a sink, and a wall-mounted toilet (a shower could easily be added here if desired). Beyond this lies the utility room, housing the Hitachi heat pump, water heater, mechanical ventilation unit, and solar panel inverter. This floor also features oak flooring, as well as underfloor heating and cooling.
Garden
The deep, south-facing back garden is lush and sheltered. A full-width glass veranda (installed in 2024) is attached to the house, allowing you to sit outside in the dry even during a shower and leave your garden cushions out. There is also a detached storage shed with electricity and rear access. Directly behind the garden, two private parking spaces are located in the shared courtyard—a quiet area where children can play safely. The shed is equipped with a heavy-duty power connection suitable for an EV charging station.
