LOCATION The Oostsingel is regarded as one of Delft’s most desirable residential locations. Monumental architecture, broad green avenues, mature trees and the waters of the Rhine-Schie Canal create a unique residential setting that can be found in only a handful of places within the city. The historic city centre, with its canals, cafés, boutiques, restaurants and cultural attractions, is within easy walking distance. Excellent schools, sports facilities, public transport and major roads connecting Rotterdam, The Hague and Amsterdam are all conveniently accessible. A location where the very best of city life and peaceful living come together. LAYOUT Ground Floor: The stately entrance opens into an impressive reception hall featuring the villa’s characteristic staircase. From here, both the principal reception rooms and the wine cellar can be accessed. The formal living and dining rooms form a magnificent suite of reception spaces, connected through a traditional en-suite arrangement and enjoying beautiful views towards the garden and the water. High ceilings, large windows, the continuous herringbone parquet flooring and generous proportions create an abundance of natural light and a sense of space befitting a villa of this calibre. The conservatory overlooking the garden is one of the most delightful areas of the home. Here, indoor and outdoor living merge seamlessly, offering a different perspective of the garden throughout the seasons. The spacious family kitchen is located at the rear of the property and naturally serves as the heart of everyday family life. Installed in 2021, it is equipped with a range of high-quality appliances, including an induction hob with integrated extraction, two sinks, a Quooker boiling and sparkling water tap, dishwasher, microwave, oven, refrigerator and freezer. The kitchen enjoys direct access to the terrace and garden, making the outdoor space a natural extension of the living area.
