Rijksstraatweg 1613956 CM LeersumLeersum-Dorp

A surprisingly spacious, flexibly laid-out detached home! Here you will live in a location where peace, nature, and accessibility come together perfectly. Thanks to its central position on the Rijksstraatweg, all daily amenities in the village are within walking or cycling distance. At the same time, greenery begins practically around the corner: the expansive forests of the Utrechtse Heuvelrug and the Leersum woods invite you to enjoy endless walks and bike rides. Leersum is an ideal base. On one side, you will find the characteristic Rhine River; on the other, the vast natural landscapes of the Heuvelrug—a unique combination of water and forest. Despite the rural and green living environment, the Randstad is surprisingly quick and easy to reach. This allows you to enjoy space, nature, and tranquility every day, without compromising on comfort, amenities, or accessibility. The property is well maintained and offers a great deal of practical living space. In addition, there is the possibility of single-level living thanks to the presence of a bedroom and bathroom on the ground floor. Furthermore, there are four additional bedrooms and a second bathroom on the first floor. This former bakery dates back to 1920 but has since been transformed into a comfortable home with a surprising layout and plenty of practical space. The house was completely renovated and modernized in 2004 and has been further upgraded, insulated, and maintained in recent years. Surrounding the house is a beautifully landscaped and well-kept garden with several terraces where you can enjoy both sun and shade.
