Description
This stunningly situated, surprisingly spacious (202 m²), characteristic, semi-detached townhouse (a "double country house") dating from 1922 boasts an enviable plot of 998 m² by Oegstgeest standards. The house features an L-shaped living/dining room with en-suite sliding doors, six bedrooms, five dormer windows, a spacious hall, a kitchen with various built-in appliances and a pass-through area, a utility room, a (wine) cellar, two toilets, and an attic storage space. Not only does it boast a spacious front garden, but it also boasts a truly stunning, 55-meter-deep, sheltered, L-shaped back garden with a raised terrace, a pond, two sheds, and a detached brick garage at the rear of the property (with the possibility of creating an additional garage here) with access to the Regentessehof. The house still has authentic details, including hallway and wall tiles, fireplaces, a bay window, en-suite sliding doors, and paneled doors.
After years of lovingly lived in, the house needs modernization, but than you can make it exactly to your liking.
The location is ideal: Leidse Hout walking and city park is opposite the house, the shops and restaurants of the charming De Kempenaerstraat are just around the corner, various primary and secondary schools (including the Rijnlands Lyceum international school), sports and recreational facilities (including hockey, soccer, tennis, golf, athletics), and public transport are within walking distance, and the Bio Science Park, Leiden University, Akzo Nobel, ESTEC, and Avery are within cycling distance. Conveniently located near highways (A4/A44) to Amsterdam/Schiphol and The Hague, the Kagerplassen lakes, the Klinkenbergerplas recreation area, and the beaches and dunes of Katwijk-Noordwijk-Wassenaar. Leiden Central Station (1.7 km), Leiden's charming historic city center, and two major hospitals (LUMC/Alrijne) are also nearby.
Every year, Oegstgeest is in the Top 10 Best Municipalities to live in and in 2022 it was called the best residential municipality in South Holland (source: Elsevier Weekblad) and is the second greenest municipality in the Netherlands.
