Surprisingly Spacious Living in a Green Setting in the Heart of Laren Situated on the leafy and peaceful Schapendrift in Laren, this surprisingly spacious semi-detached house offers approximately 200 m² of living space. From the outside, the property has a modest appearance, but once inside, it immediately surprises with its generous living areas, distinctive layout and versatile possibilities. Featuring a spacious kitchen-diner, a large living room with an additional multifunctional room, a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor, and several further bedrooms spread over the upper floors, this is a home that easily adapts to different stages of life. Single-level living is perfectly possible, while the upper floors offer plenty of additional space for family members, guests or working from home. Light, Space and a Unique Kitchen-Diner The welcoming and generously proportioned kitchen-diner forms the heart of the home. Thanks to the high, open roof structure, numerous skylights and large windows, natural light floods this space from several directions. The kitchen island takes centre stage and provides ample workspace and storage. There is more than enough room alongside the kitchen for a large dining table. The connection with the garden and the high ceilings give this space a wonderfully open, almost loft-like feel. It is the perfect setting for long dinners, leisurely weekend breakfasts or simply enjoying everyday family life. At the other end of the house is the spacious living room, featuring a wood-burning stove and views of the surrounding greenery. The large windows and French doors allow plenty of natural light to enter and create a pleasant connection with the outdoors. Adjacent to the living room is an additional room. This is what makes the layout so versatile: ideal as a children's playroom, library, quiet reading area or comfortable home office. The living room features a beautiful solid wood floor. At the rear of the ground floor is a bedroom with doors opening onto the garden, as well as a luxurious bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, double washbasin and toilet. This separate sleeping area is ideal as guest accommodation, a playroom or a private space for a live-in au pair. First Floor The spacious entrance hall, complete with wardrobe space and a guest toilet, provides access to the first floor. The sense of space continues upstairs, where two generously sized bedrooms can be found. The principal bedroom has access to a balcony at the front of the house, offering pleasant views over the greenery and the street. The spacious bathroom is equipped with a bathtub, walk-in shower and double washbasin. This floor also benefits from a separate, well-appointed laundry room and an additional separate toilet. Second Floor A staircase leads to the spacious landing on the second floor. Here, there are two further well-proportioned bedrooms, both benefiting from dormer windows on either side of the house, creating plenty of natural light and additional space. Completing this floor is a third bathroom with a walk-in shower and washbasin. This generously sized home offers exceptional flexibility and is ideally suited to larger families, those who regularly accommodate guests or anyone wishing to combine living and working from home, including running a professional practice. Green and Sheltered Outdoor Living The property is surrounded by a lovely green garden, with several inviting spots around the house to sit and enjoy the outdoors. A combination of mature trees, hedges and flowering borders gives the garden a natural and pleasantly sheltered feel. In addition, the property benefits from a detached garden shed of approximately 12 m², providing practical storage for bicycles, garden equipment and other belongings.
